Is there a such thing as bra karma???

So I posted that Cleo Marcie (6831) on RandomActsofBras and found a new home for it pretty quickly. Then, I went thrifting and found at a second-hand store... of all things, not one but TWO Empreinte bras. One of them still had tags on it! They're 32F, and sometimes I can get away with wearing a 32FF. But I was looking at the cups and they looked larger than 32F, more like 32FF or even 32G. So I took that chance and bought them because I'm curious about the brand tbh. Normally I don't buy things like bras in second-hand stores unless they're practically pristine. I figured if they don't fit, I'll just pass them on!

The one that still had tags on it ($140? really??) I've identified as a Empreinte Bettina Full Cup Bra (0764) and lol, they are not joking about the "full cup" part. Like seriously, there's no wearing scoop neck tops with this. The other one is a complete mystery bra: it has lilac molded cups with a beige lace overlay, and the band and straps are beige, and it's not quite so full in the cup like the other one. I'll probably do some internet sleuthing to find out the actual name of the bra.

I'm washing them now and then I'm going to try them on. We'll see how it goes!

[ETA]: I've identified the other model: It's a Melody Padded Demi, and as Empriente's site describes it: "This bra cup is generously sized, we recommend choosing a cup size down if you are in between cup sizes" which explains to me why it looked large for a 32F. Since I don't think this model is in Bratabase (at least it didn't turn up in my search), I will be sure to add it.
