Going Polish, listings, and babble
So I noticed my roots seeming narrower lately, which I posted about in my tissue migration adventure. I really was skeptical on the whole tissue migration thing, but decided to remeasure, and much to my surprise my leaning over measurement (a la ABTF) has gone up 2" from 36 to 38. My horizontal perimeter seems to hover around 11" instead of the 10" I measured previously, but I never know if I'm doing that one right or not because I'm still unsure of where my root actually is on the side. And it's all still so confusing because my current best fitting bra is my Lulu Tout, with a cup width of 5.4" and depth of 9", unless I'm just not measuring that depth properly. And my Lucy with a cup depth of 10.2" still wrinkles on the sides, top, and somewhat at the apex, leading me to believe it's slightly too deep for me, and my Bardot is 5.4" wide and 10" deep and wrinkles at the apex but closes off too quickly on top on my bigger breast.
At any rate, I've listed quite a bit of my current collection, including my 28G Freya Instinct, 30F Masquerade Alice and 30FF Masquerade Celene. Most likely I will list my 28G Lucy, and even though I want to love it, probably my 28G Liliana as well - it's just so wide.... and that 30E Fantasie Rebecca Nouveau is still up for grabs (someonepleasebuythisthankyouverymuch).
I have a 28G Deco Shape on the way, which will probably be too small and returned or relisted but we'll see. My 28G Hatty still seems to stay in place, even though I know the molded cup is probably masking the width being a bit too wide and the bottom of the cup possibly too shallow. Also am waiting on a 30F Cleo Lily - should be a good cup width, potentially the band will be too loose but no 28s seem to exist anywhere anymore. Went for an F instead of my usual sister size of FF because of my wrinkling issues with my Lucy but sometimes I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing.
I still don't own a bra I don't have to re-adjust more than I'd like, except for that Lulu Tout. I'm re-thinking everything I thought I'd figured out, suspecting I really have more projection than I initially thought I did, and feeling like I'm so much money into this and have done so many returns, exchanges, and relisting it's getting exhausting and not sure what else I can afford to try. But I decided to go for a Comexim Juliette on eBay, mostly because I was surprised to see a Comexim listed that was remotely in my size range. So I'm totally guessing on my Comexim size, it's a 60K with no alterations. There's only 2 entries on BTB, one measuring 5.0" wide and one measuring 5.3" wide. I'm a little worried about cup height, and still unsure my roots could possibly be that narrow, but I guess I'll find out. There's a reduced cup 60K Arabella listed on here but haven't gotten a reply from the user, so someone tell me - how tall are standard Comexim cups? Am I setting myself up for armpit murder or massive gapping at the top? I still think I have somewhat short roots.

There is something magical about Lulu Tout bras. I think the combination of flexible wires and a firm band givs great support and an almost customized fit.
Agreed. On paper, this bra should not fit me, at all. But somehow it does. I actually don't find the wires as flexible as Freyas, but definitely not as stiff as Panache's. And I love that they're U shaped, not swish-shaped like Freyas.
