OKay so I am full on top. I prefer lower cut bras, i need projection and i would like a rounded lifted look? no full cups, i prefer balconette styled bras and the center gore not too high 38FF please give me some recommendations Im already looking at cleo marcie, curvy kate jewel, curvy kate florence, and even cleo lucy(i prefer it to have a band instead of bandless) any more recommendations? id like to try another freya that fits me a bit more better without padding or lining?
Filed under Bra sizing and fit
As someone who has owned 30,000 Marcies, I absolutely vouch for that style. It works wonders for FOT shapes. My warning is just that the gore might hurt you after wearing it for a while (I am really sensitive to gores though, so it might just be me), but it is an A++++ for immediate projection and a half-spherical shape. It looks like in a 38FF, the gore is a hair shy of 4".
I would not personally recommend the Lucy. From my experience, it simply doesn't work on FOT shapes as well as the Marcie. I know there is a gore alteration you can do to sort of force it into the same shape as the Marcie, but I have no personal experience with that! I just know that it's a really FOB bra and that it failed on me lol. I also have had little luck with bandless styles.
I know the Freya Arabella plunge tends to be good for even projection. I'm even/leaning on FOT, and I know the Arabella was actually a great fit for me, so maybe you might have some luck in that one (it has no padding or lining and is pretty much just sheer).
I would recommend Fauve half-cups, however, they are padded so they don't quite fit what you're looking for (but they'd be good for the winter, I say?).
My only experience with CK wasn't too successful, so I can't speak to any of their cuts, but I know the Florence actually had too much space at the top for me and was pretty much a no-stretch cup - so that might actually work in your favor?
I hope any of this was helpful for you!!
thank you so much and okay i wont try the lucy unless its on super sale but ill try the marci and ill look into the fauve half cups and the freya arabella this was so helpful thank you :)
