I'm having difficulty deciding whether or not certain bra bands are too tight for me. I am used to wearing my bands pretty tight, so perhaps what feels like a fine fit to me actually isn't a fine fit. Also, I notice a lot of my bra bands squish my fat/skin/tissue around my rib cage so that I have a pretty noticeable indent while wearing the bra. Ideally, I'd like to have smoothness there so the indent can't be seen, both while wearing a shirt and not wearing a shirt, but I'm also afraid that I'll be compromising support. Thoughts? Opinions? Band fit is the one thing I have a lot of trouble with, so I'd love input!

  • i have similar issues. i find that having wide wings, not long-lines, and a u-back, work better for smoothness.

  • I've got the same problems (my andventure's here http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlixm/), wide wings work great (best for me is 34E - Parfait By Affinitas ยป Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) ), but longlines (I've got my Freyas) work pretty good too, mainly on the bottom. On the top it's not smooth, but it's better than in my adventure.
