Bra shopping online
I'm shopping bras for myself, since I haven't bought a new bra since I was at Bravissimo 2 years ago. I would love recommendations from you guys! I'm looking for similar styles to Panache Jasmine, Cleo Hettie, Freya Soiree and Cleo Marcie. My sizes are 28F/FF/G and 30E/F (depending on the bra and my cycle). I'm also getting these bras in their new colorways of course.
Otherwise I'm considering the Cleo Minnie and Cleo Izzy, and I'm probably going to buy the Cleo Breeze/Piper.
Do you guys have any recommendations for what would/would not fit, or which bras run small/big in cup/band/gore etc?
When I was at Bravissimo and got tons of great help, the fitter recommended I not try the Piper as it would not fit my shape (I at least think that's what she said). I'm fairly even, FoT and FoB. More FoB than FoT but my shape is so even that the top lace on Jasmine, Hettie and the new Cleo Marcie is never empty. Narrow roots, pendulous, need narrow wires and super slim gore. Maximum gore width including wire channels is 2.5cm or just under 1 inch.
I like my bands tight! So a Panache 28 is comfy on the outermost hook. A Freya 28 is comfy on the middle hook set.

I’m a 30F, even to fob (minor space on big boob in 30F Marcie) and I tried a 30E in the cobalt Piper. It was a little bit small, but the bigger problem was the wires. They came up really high into my armpits. I’m not sure if it’s something that they have fixed in subsequent runs or not, but thought that I would mention that.
Cleo Kayla is like Hettie but a little bit deeper iirc. I think Cleo Minnie is similar to Marcie as well. And maybe Blake?
