Rethinking my shape

Continuing the breast shape discussion below...

Since I first discovered correctly-fitting bras (and bratabase) about 6 months ago, I thought I had my breast shape sorted - wide-rooted and shallow. It's taken me a while to find the best bra shape, and I think I've had some migration - I'm more often a 30E than 30DD these days. I saw a comment from Jillsas about narrow/average wire widths on Fantasie bras, and it got me thinking about my best fitting bras..

Fantasie Elodie (2182) 30DD
Fantasie Celia Balcony Bra (2871) 30DD
Cleo Ellis (7211)/Cleo Melissa (6991)/Cleo Bella Balconnet Bra (7001) 30E (slightly too full on top but perfect lower cup and wire width)
Bravissimo Satine (AU15) 28F

Plus my root width ratio is 1.03 (thanks Milk & Honey!) - pretty much average width root right? So I've been thinking of myself as one thing all this time when really I'm something rather different.

  • I think this happens to a lot of us.

    I started out thinking I was FOB and definitely shallow. Now that I have more experience, I know I'm actually even and just a bit shallowish.

  • I thought I was FOB to start with too - like you now I think I'm average and not as shallow as I originally thought. It seems odd that it's so difficult for us to recognise our shape, but at least we seem to be in the majority!
