Recent bra trials and failures

Bras are so annoying lately. I have no bra that currently fits. I even get weird fit issues that I never had before in bras that used to work. Since 5 days (in a row) I wear 32KK - Bravissimo » Erin Bra (LN441) since I can fill those cups with my PMS-boobs. All gaping gone now. As soon as I put on an extender to this bra, the gaping is back. So I ask myself, do I used part of the cups as a band on this bra? How do I find out? I don't find the band too big anymore I even think it stretched out quite a bit since I got this bra (2 weeks ago). 32K Tango does not fit anymore not even on my PMS-boobs, lots up gaping in the upper cup and it feels like the band rides up. 30K Tango cuts in on top, but overall feels better than 32K.

The 32JJ - Panache » Tango Ii Balconnet Bra (3251) I received does not fit properly either. I feel like my bra bands ride up, I'm scared I develop reversed letterphobia. I cannot wear 30 bands in bras, can I? Also the Tango shape under t-Shirt makes me feel so insecure. That's why I really search for other options besides that one. I usually wear a really tight t-shirt for Pictures here to show the shape of the bra. I get a hourglass shape from the front when I wear the Tango, wide boobs and waist looks smaller in comparison. But in everyday life I don't wear such tight Shirts out, I'm too insecure about showing fat rolls and belly. If I wear a looser Shirt, the Shirts covers my waist and the east-west shape of Tango makes me look wider on top too.

I'm going back and forth with an eBay seller about an Bravissimo Lacey Bra (LN486) since last week. The bra is listed for a very good price and the seller ships internationally, but I cannot order it. Ebay won't let me because the seller does not ship to my location. I asked them and they said they do ship to my country and they don't know why it does not work with the order! Arghh

Last week I went through Bravissimo website again and saw that the Darcy bra is back in stock in 34JJ, it was low stock so I panicked and immediately ordered it and wrote to Bravissimo that I like to get this bra as a exchange for 34K Georgia I returned. A few days later they tell me it was already out of stock when I ordered. Then another few days later it is back in stock and pending.

In the mean time I got so desperate that I wrote to Bravissimo that I really really need like 2-3 decent fitting every day bras and that I want to place a big order of several styles in a bunch of sizes. I did not hear back from them. I only try to order by e-mail to get my new order as a exchange for Georgia bra therefore no new shipping fee. But now I'm fed up. I'm gonna cancel that Darcy and just place a new order on the website. It will cost me a fortune in custom fees but hopefully some bras will be decent. I got recommened a SF bra by Ewa Michalak but I have read of how of a hassle it is to order from them and all. Bravissimo at least ships quickly. I don't know what else I should do now?


Edit: Just received a Brastop parcel with 34J Victory and a 34J Tankini because I need new swimwear. Both Epic fails. I kinda expected it with Victory and I just ordered because I was placing an order anyway but the swimwear?! How can CK let me down like that! I used to get such good fit in their Tankinis. I'm gonna measure and take pics later and tomorrow everything goes back to the UK.
