[Recommendations] Used the calculator, 46G? First time recommendations and some questions.

Hi there,

I just did the calculator for the first time after doing a closet purge and finding myself in a dire bra situation. I've been wearing kind of whatever I could get my hands on for a while. The current bra which I know is too small but is the closest I have to a proper fit (it cuts a bit at the band, pulls up on the back, bit of quadboob etc) is a 46C

and it's on it's last leg.

I did the calculator and got these measurements (inches):

Loose Underbust: 49.5

Snug: 47

Tight: 45

Standing: 56

Leaning: 57

Laying: 53

It gave me a 46G! That feels like a lot, but I'm surprised about the band being right? I suppose if the cup is bigger than the band would sit looser as well?

I also read the guide and have basically gotten that I am:

Centre full

Lightly splayed

V Shape

Narrow and kind of short root? I'm a bit unsure on this one.

FT 3/5

I saw some recommendations for trying elomi, curvy kate, yours, and panache but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Is there a good way to tell with the secondary factors? Or is it more order and try at this point and pray for the best, lol. I'm in Canada and of course at my size trying things on before buying is often a luxury I don't get.
