I've known my HerRoom order was sitting at my house since Saturday, but now I'm back from my boyfriend's and I've finally gotten to see it, and despite my prayers, the Cleo Jude does not seem to be the bra for me - in 30DD the cups were far too small (as I figured they would be, really, after I ordered it) and in 30E I still had issues. The Jude 30E I'll be putting up a fit request for, so look for that incoming.
The Parfait by Affinitas Charlotte Plunge, on the other hand, is ALMOST perfect. The band is tight, the straps look good, there's no gaping or quadboob or visual problems noticeable - unless I look straight down. The bra has a very tall gore (almost 3"!) and though it tacks nicely for the first inch or so, at the top it does not lay flat. That's not to say that the whole thing is laying on my breasts at the top - maybe just 1/4" of an inch on each side or so, just enough to pull it out slightly from my chest. My breasts are about one finger-width apart at that point, and the gore is more like two fingers wide. Since the gore does still tack at the bottom of the band and the bra is very pretty I'm wondering - how much of a problem is this? I'll put up a picture to show it, too. I don't want to hang on to a bra that doesn't fit right, after all.
And thanks everyone for your responses on my last entry. I panicked a little when my back pain that had vanished after wearing the new bras came back, but it's good to know that while, yes, my bras are stretching, it might not be a disaster quite yet!
