I feel like I'm doing this wrong

My parcel of bras arrived from alisa today- yay! Aside from the 28J - Cleo » Bonnie (6191) which I mostly picked up as an off chance as I was paying for postage anyway, I was at least a little hopeful of getting the other two bras to fit.

I think I'll put up a fit request later when I get some photos. I don't think that my breasts are so large that I should settle and quad out of a 32K bra, even if it is a Curvy Kate one. Am I measuring fit wrong by trying to avoid cutting in on top? I just don't even know any more. Am I better off going for good wire width and just not scooping properly? I'm puzzled and intensely frustrated. I just feel like there's no bras out there at the moment which will fit me at all, even ignoring the band size issue.

  • Oh, they already arrived :))) That's great, so it did take like 2 weeks, which is fast condsidering they told me at my post office that it can take up to 1 month to your country!
    Anyway - Gia does quadboob on you? :O
    Oh I'm curious to see your pictures... I had really hoped at least Gia or Jasmine would work for you :/
    Is the Jasmine a bit better than the others at least? Can you "save" one of them with alternations?

    I'm at the same point (ot let's say I'm thinking about this since a while): that I don't do the extensive swoop and scoop anymore (just a super light version to arrange boobs in cups), because I will always quadboob out of bras in my "calculator" size. If I size up too much, I get no support from the bra anymore. Like it happened on my 36J - Cleo » Marcie (6831). I'm frustrated too and really don't know if I just should buy now bras in a "slightly" small size and put up with minor quadboob...are there no other options for us? *sends hugs*

  • I was pretty surprised actually that the parcel arrived already. I was expecting to wait a few more weeks, but it was nice to get something fun in the post.

    While Gia quads on me, I actually think it's too big everywhere else. It's kind of confusing. I'm much better at analysing other people's fit issues than my own. I think I get too emotionally involved in my own bra fit.

    It pretty much fit how I expected it to fit. CK actually gives me an okay shape, but it's not that supportive without me pretty much pulling my arms off by tightening up the straps.

    I really don't know what's going on with Jasmine, and whether the 30K would be better, or just bad in a different way.

    I'll get some help taking photos so you guys can have a look. Some extra pairs of eyes can be useful I think.

    *sends hugs to you*

    I have probably unrealistically high hopes for the Edwards & Millers Launch, as the name behind the brand wears a 28K, so should hopefully be scaling bras from somewhere close to my size.
