I currently own this bra in a 30F (which is actually a 30E UK because Fit Fully Yours is a Canadian company that is using North American cup scaling/progression) which came from rachaelll as a giveaway. I took the bra to my local shop to see if the assistant I had worked with a few weeks ago was there, because she had mentioned that she did bra alterations and I was curious if cutting out the elastic strip would make it fit better.

She wasn’t there, but I did try it on with the fitter who was there, and they also had a 30G in it for me to try (which I honestly had hoped that they would...Canadian lingerie shops like to stock Fit Fully Yours because it is Canadian as I mentioned).

I found that the 30G had side slings in the cups for support that the 30F didn’t have, and like the 30F, it was a 3x3 hook setup which seems a little extreme for such relatively small sizes but I am ok with it. I think that it anchors the bra a bit more, though I think that it’s a little bit of overkill for the 30F (30E UK). The fit is generally improved with the size up, and the sides have better coverage in this size. But, sadly, that dastardly elastic strip is still cutting into my tissue. I don’t know if it’s a shape issue or a characteristic of having soft tissue, but it’s a pain in the butt, to be honest.

I did confirm that the fitter seamstress is in tomorrow so I’m going to go back and see what she says regarding the elastic strip and whether it’s something that can be removed or even replaced with something else. I don’t think that I would buy the bra at full price in this size and have altered, but if the 30F fit can be improved with the elastic strip being removed, then I will consider keeping it, though given the better overall fit of the 30G, I will probably pass it on to someone else with less volume than I have.

I am going to keep this in my current bras in the event that I have a chance to get a few measurements to add to the data profile tomorrow. Then I will remove it/not own it.

This bra is not owned any more

  Definitely looks good for volume. It's a pretty bra, so it's such a shame that it cuts into your tissue :(

• Thanks. The volume is definitely better. I struggled with trying to capture the cutting in with such a quick photo shoot. As usual, I was the only person in the shop so I had to be quick!

  I will update more about whether it’s something that can be altered/fixed for the fit once I see the same lady again from last time.

• It really is lovely. I hope they are able to to fix the elastic.

• Thanks Sonya.

• Didn’t make it out today due to migraine (storm is coming in) but I’m going to try next week. I’m kinda considering trying a 32G because I’m curious about the fit of the cups in one more size up. Band will be too big, but were it to fit better, I’d have the gore narrowed because it’s a bit wide, so that would tighten the band some. If I were to get it. But obviously I want to see if the 30F elastic bit can fix the fit enough as it was a giveaway.

• She said that removing the elastic is a gamble.
