Just kind of a general question/something I've been noticing. All of my bras (except for my Freya unlined) look like they fit standing up, but gap something bad when I sit. This is happening with my new Syrena but she looks like an absolute, made for me fit when I'm standing. I had some gapping before when standing but that was due to the straps being too long. It's made of kind of a thicker material. Is the gapping when sitting just because of the way of the material and something that will be unavoidable or is there actually something wrong with the fit?
Filed under Bras ups and downs
Are all these bras moulded and how are you sitting? If you're wearing a moulded bra and your arms are in front of you (let's say, if you're typing on a keyboard), then it's possible for the cups to gape because they have a fixed shape.
If your posture is the same while standing and sitting, then I'm not quite sure how it would gape.
They're seamed cups. One's a one seamed half cup and the other is Ewa's S shape (I think-3 seams). The moulded bras are too "shifty on me. I probably slouch sitting more than I should, but gappy bras should give me a reason to sit straighter. The gapping on this one's not too bad, but usually they gap a bit as I move around and never look as perfect a fit as they do when I'm standing around. However, as you mentioned, it's probably more to do with posture than the bras themselves.
