Emergency help needed for mom! 34-36 E & F maybe
I posted this on ABTF too but looking for all the advice I can get. Mom and I are in Chicago. Next stop is Intimacg to try out the UK brands. She measures 34 UB and 42" OB, don't have a tape measure to do the rest. She's very pendulous & very FOB, with very soft squishy tissue. So far at Nordstroms, the only thing close to a fit was a Chantelle Depuis in a 34DDD. Gore was soooo close to tacking.
She needs a lot of immediate projection. I couldnt find anything that didn't gap somewhat at the top. Intimacy supposedly carries Fantasie & Elomi. I've been bravangelizing mom for months but she's harder than I thought she'd be. Have yet to find a gore that tacks, and I know that's usually due to too small of cups but her tissue is SO soft too. And if we went up a cup size, the empty space at the top of the cups was ridiculous. I'm not her size or shape so I know what works for me won't for her.
Some 34 bands we tried were too tight. So considering 36s as well. What should I look for her next? She's trusting me & not the crappy fitters at previous boutiques who've put her in a 38C. We may go to Intimacy tonight but most likely tomorrow. TIA!

She should probably be trying bras in the 34F/FF/G/36E/F/FF area if her measurements are 34/42. Is she scooping and swooping when trying on bras? Too-small cups would lead to too-tight bands.
Elomi might work well for her - Caitlyn, Rita, and Etta all would potentially work. Panache Envy would well accommodate her projection and FoB shape.
Also, if you head out into the suburbs at all, it'd probably be worth checking out Tina's Closet. They're pretty good.
Yes I'm making sure she's scooping & swooping, even if it means helping her do it. Making sure those wires are up in the IMF!
