I don't know if this is just me, but I've been having some issues recently with my old 32G - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) and my 32G - Cleo » Lily Balconnet Bra (7351).

When I bought them they both fit very well, but I'm more than a year in with them and they are starting to gape at the top. I'm wondering if this is because they're old and stretched out (they've gotten a lot of use) or whether my shape has changed due to putting on muscle in that area and they won't work period.

The set of measurements up are after I started noticing changes in fit, but the measurements aren't very different from the last set, so I don't think that's the problem.

Does anyone have any insight or a similar problem?

  • I was starting to wonder how long bras really last. I'm 32J and very, very soft, so I need a lot of serious support and projection. My 8 mo old Floris is so comfortable I almost forget I'm wearing it, but it does not hold me as high as the new ones .. .

    are the gaps noticeable through clothing? and i'm sure changing the distribution of fat and muscle can change the way a bra would fit. I've seen a few ppl mention that, after gaining or losing cup sizes, their old favorites no longer worked for them

  • It depends on which clothing I'm wearing. If I have a looser t-shirt or a similar looser style it isn't obvious, but anything tighter than that and it starts to become obvious. I may have to play around with a smaller cup and a shorter band to see if it is a shape incompatibility or just a size one, just an hesitant to spend a bunch of money just to have to return it.
