I think I found my first correctly-fitting bra!

My zulily order came in today.... And I think I've FINALLY found a bra that actually fits!

I got the Cleo Karen (6881) and the Cleo Zia Balconnet (6851) in 30F. In the Zia, I get the orange in a glass effect and a good deal of wrinkling at the top, but the shape is great. I'm going to give it a few days, but I think I'm going to sew the extra fabric for that one and it will be perfect. It's the best shape I've gotten in an unmoulded/padded bra besides the Lucy, and I've decided that a 30 band is better than a 28 band in Cleo for me. I wouldn't be able to fix the wrinkling in the Lucy, but I think in can in the Zia.

The Karen though... Wow! I get quadboob in both sides when I move around, but on average it fits my larger breast perfectly. When I sit straight it fits my smaller one perfectly, but as always with my difficult-to-fit shape (I think I have the infinity boob), if I slouch a bit I get complete gaping at the top. And the cleavage is way better than I expected! The wires seem the perfect width, but I'd have to wear it a little longer to know for certain.

Did I mention the cleavage? It's a freaking t-shirt bra that gives me cleavage! I've never even been able to wear a push-up bra because my boobs wouldn't allow it. The only other time I've had pushed-together cleavage before was when I tried on a way-too large Ewa plunge bra. The Rhea gives me nice cakes-on-plate cleavage, but this one pushes them together!

I wish the straps were a little thicker and they're a little wide-set, but I can manage. I'm also concerned that the band is too loose, but I think I require the wider wires I'd get from the 30F vs 28FF.

I'm so excited!!! I had no expectations for this bra! I was merely hoping that it was wearable! I loved the pattern and wanted to try a correct-size moulded bra! Anyone have recommendations for bras similar to the Cleo Karen? It will be awhile before I can order bras again, but I'd like to keep my eye open for some good deals .
