Nov 04, 2012 - Random Weirdness

Okay, some observations now that I am wearing my bras with the underwire at the base and not 1" or more below:

1) I have a lot of migration. Easier to spot now that breasts are lifted.
2) When I swoop and scoop all of this (in the Darcy 30F), it gives me tremendous quadboob.
3) As soon a I move, it all unswcoops itself and the cup is again too big. Where does it all go??
4) Even though the Ewa Hm Magnolia, I bought of a listing ,is the absolute perfect band size, also a 2 piece vertical seam construction and recorded as having approximately the same depth, I am completely unable to fill it. *head desk* (Not to mention it is the most gorgeous bra I have ever seen, therefore am keeping it, at least until I see if/how migration affects the fit in a couple of months.) What is going on??
5) Bust of dress quite a bit tighter. Arm holes too low for bra. Must wear singlet with higher arms underneath
6) Centre gore anything but flat, but rather turns sideways and sits flush against left breast.?!?
7) If I measure where the band must sit, in order to have underwires flush under base, breasts get in the way. After fiddling with tape measure have tried following: measure how far breasts protrude. Measure band in correct spot. Subtract for breast = 26.50

  • 3) Back to where you scooped it from. :) It will take wearing the right bra for at least six months to up to two years to make it stay.
    4) HM styles have very narrow wires. I think you are looking at an orange-in-a-glass.
    5) Hello breast migration, welcome to the world of buying from Pepperberry, BiuBiu, Urkye, ....

    6) Usually this means that the cup is too small or that you have more volume near the centergore than the bra allows. It also can mean that you have breast tissue higher up that pushes the whole bra down. Or that your overall projection is stronger than the cup, ie the cup is too shallow. All depends upon the style of the bra and the shape of your breasts. Trying on the bra, closing your eyes and concentrating on the feel of it can help you figure it out.

    7) *scratches head* Pictures? Drawings in Paint? I don't quite get you.

  • Okay, so the picture here shows how my breasts hang well below the crease, or whatever it's called.

    Since I don't have anyone to measure for me, and am doing it all myself, it is physically impossible to move all the tissue and keep the tape level, so I measured the pendulous tissue by itself and subtracted that from the full measurement.
