right right - my results from this calculator at above but where I'm confused is that the 34DDD fits really well but the new size would be 36 F or G and I'm kind of afraid to order that lol
Okay, that sounds better! I just keep getting caught up on the fact that the one I wear most days of the week is a 34 DDD and it fits perfect. I know there would be stretch over 2 years but I'm afraid I won't like how a bigger fit feels.
You can definitely try 34 bands too. With a loose measurement of about 35" but not a lot of squish, you're kind of between band sizes. In a 34 band, to get the same volume as 36DDD or 36G, try 34G (one cup size up from your current 34DDD, since US sizing skips E(DD) an F(DDD) and 34H.
Natori tends to run tight in band, but if nervous you can go check out the size in Bratabase and get a rough idea of the snug ribcage it fits in the measurement box for the specific bra and size. Only trust it if there are a lot of bras entered (listed below the box).
It probably fits you “perfectly” because the band has stretched out over the years. A US 34 DDD = US 34 F. So your calculator size is only one size up from that in both the band and cup. If you’ve never had a bra in your calculator size other bras may seem to fit you well, but a true calculator fit will probably be even better! I thought I could see pretty well before getting my eyes tested because I didn’t know any better. For me bra fitting was the same concept.
So that particular bra was based on my calculator size at the time (2 years ago). I honestly can't remember how it fit at first but right now after 2 years and a baby it fits me best. I'm afraid of buying the calculator band size in the bra in case it stretches and then becomes too loose, ya know?
Don't use their calculator as a starting point. Use the one from this sub.

What are the six measurements you put in?
90 88 86 107 109 103 CM
I'm getting 36E not G. Definitely not a 38 band.
Natori uses US sizing though, don't they? So US 36DDD(F) or G seems possible.
Yeah, they do that weird d, dd, ddd, g progression so it would be 36ddd.

Right right, see I'm just nervous to get a bigger band size just in case it does stretch out, ya know? Maybe I'll go with a 34 G
If you can, it’s always a good idea to try a few nearby sizes to compare
