Didn't fit

I don't wear this bra very often because every time I do wear it I can't wait to take it off at the end of the day. I feel like it’s slighty constricting but it might just be the style (I'm not a fan of padded/push-up bras). I can say that the cup separation suits me well. Since I don't wear it very often I'm not sure if it stays in place throughout the day. It is quite beautiful and I'm curious to see how it would fit in a different size but given the amount of padding I don't think I will be buying another one.

  • I would suggest buying a larger size. This bra has entire inch less of cup depth that you need. You would probably fit the 28B or C much better. And remember, the larger the cup size, the less padding. I am interested in what your circumferential measurements are? A 28" rib cage and a 30" bust (may be, I'm guessing here). Let me know, I'd like to help you find bras! I've gone through almost all your bras and they all appear to be too small for you in cup depth. With a horizontal perimeter of 5.5" inches, your cup depth should be about the same but the majority of them are 5". If you could post pictures of you in the bras, it will help ALOT with figuring out your shape and the style of bra that you need.

  • Thank you! You are absolutely correct that I am 28 rib cage and 30 bust. I've recently discovered that most of my bras are too small and so I've started searching for 30B's. I tried on the Natori Feathers in 30B at Nordstrom and it fits great. I recently purchased a Victoria's Secret bra in 30B that is pretty good but still doesn't seem shallow enough. I will try and post that at some point. I'm having a hard time finding bras that are shallow enough and reasonably priced. I've only tried a few 28 bands (all were A cups) and they all were too tight in the band (with the exception of a the TLBC Courtney which has a very stretchy lace band). However, I do realize a cup that is too small can cause the band to feel too tight. I've yet to try any 28B or 28C mostly because 28 bands are harder to find but I wonder if that would be more appropriate considering my bust measurement is 30" and I probably shouldn't be wearing a band size that matches my bust measurement.

    When you say "The larger the cup size, the less padding" does this mean larger cup sizes are literally manufactured with less padding?

    Thanks again for your input. I will consider posting pictures.

  • Yes mahcin A D cup bra will have less padding then a C cup bra, a B cup bra with less padding than an A cup bra. Although the little bra company may have less of a difference in padding then most brands.
