Trying on bras in store! Part 2
Recently I wrote about how I tried some bras in a department store. (It was a huge fail)
Last week I stepped into a specialist bra boutique since they had a sale going on. I have not shopped in store in years. The fitter asked me what I was looking for and If I knew my size, I said "yes I'm about an 80F" since I have 1 European bra in that size that is wearable. (I did not wanted to start about UK sizing bc that would make it all more complicated) So the fitter brought me few bras in that size and 75G 80G and also 85D and 85E because "you can always try sister sizes" When I tried on the bras she told me to shorten the straps, that the band needs to be tight and how the cups have to fit. Basic bra fitting 101.
She pointed out how the 85 bands were too large and the cups too small. So I was glad to see they know what they talk about. Obviously they are used to customers who are clueless so when I said that I need wide wires because I have a wide bust she was like yes you also have a wide back. Me yes thanks but that is not the same lol... I bought nothing that day. The Prima Donna Madison in 75G was a good fit but the cups came to high under my arms, other models were either too big or too small.
The shapes of the EU brand bras (Prima Donna, Mey, Ulla dessous) I tried were all imo really shallow, besides the Moulded Prima Donna divine which I cannot completely fill out. The materials felt high quality and the prices were 70-130CHF.

WAIT, ULLA Dessous was shallow???
Oh my goodness, I tried out one of their bras, it's almost too projected for me!! I know, world record depth, LOL.
The problem is, it's such a random Ulla bra. I got it on eBay. I'm not sure if it was labeled correctly and I don't know the style name, only the #!
BraOdyssey Maybe I remember it wrong? I could not take a lot of pics, because the fitter always brought me more to try... and I was kind of in a hurry (unplanned bra shopping is not it) also it could be because the size was too small? The fitter brought me D, E, F, G sizes in 75-85 (the D & E only in 85)...
I have such a hard time identify my new shape after breast reduction but compared to what shape I had before I think my breast are now quite shallow?
