Is there a way (other than eyeballing) to know how much too small or big a bra is for you? Like, is there a way to figure out how much quadboob is a cup size too small, or how much gaping is considered a cup size or more too big? Or if the bra is just a shape mismatch altogether? I had some trouble with ordering a bra that ended up fitting pretty well (except for the fact that the underwires sat a lit bit under my IMF), so I ordered another bra that had almost the same cup depth, and I had a ridiculous amount of quadboob. I ordered the latter from the UK and the cost of return shipping isn't worth sending it back, which makes me worry about ordering another bra and having the same problem. I'm pretty new to this, so any suggestions or tips would be extremely appreciated!:)

  • Well, plunges measure as less depth than higher-cut bras. And if a bra is too wide for you, you need more depth than if its not, because some of the depth is being wasted as empty space.

    What did you have to order directly from the UK? Amazon is pretty well stocked . . . i mean not that I"m not about to order 2 bras from Poland lol

  • dbmamaz It was a Cleo Marcie. They were sold out on Amazon in a 28DD, so I got it off of eBay. I wouldn't have ordered it if the shipping hadn't been free, and unfortunately there were no free returns:( I think if anything though the Marcie might have been a tad too narrow, or at least a bit more narrow than the Cleo Neve. I just can't decide if the bra is one or two cup sizes too small:(
