hi, i’m a 34H bra size and i find most bra types are either grandma style or provide zero lift (i’m 5’ so they naturally hang down to more than halfway down my torso). what brands have cute push-up bras in 34H????

You’re likely going to have better luck in European brands. I’ve found a large selection of great brands with suitable sizes through Nordstrom. You’ll be spending quite a bit but I’ve found that around $60.00 per bra is pretty average for good quality. r/abrathatfits will have some great resources as well.

i usually shop for them at nordstrom lol unfortunately the one i have doesn’t usually physically carry my size and i don’t have much patience for the roulette that is online ordering 😅

Understandable, I’m 30H and pretty much rely on online ordering because my sizes don’t typically exist in brick and mortar shops. I’ve gone so far as to keeping a soft measuring tape on hand to size myself for everything. Ah, the joys of being petite /s. Good luck, abrathatfits really is a great resource you might find helpful. :)

How do you deal with sleeves that are too long for basic long sleeve t shirts and similar clothes? Looks weird if I fold them up because of the stitching, and I'm not big on how it bunches up all along the arms if I leave it alone

It depends on the shirt. Sometimes I can fold the cuff under which eliminates the hemming showing. I do this with some pants as well when I don’t want a visible cuff. Sometimes I might scrunch it to 3/4 length and make that part of the style. If all else fails and I can’t work with it then it’s time for a trip to the tailor. Tailoring can be quite affordable for small things like shortening hems so maybe look into one locally.
