Didn't fit

(Basically a repeat of my rant I posted on the front page, edited a bit to focus more on just this bra.)

Well, I was reminded why I don't shop during Brastop clearance sales, especially if it's the ONE bra left in that size...

I purchased two beautiful Fantasie bras from Brastop on the "up to 80% off clearance!!" sale. (Side rant: are any of them actually that much off? I only find like 50-60% off, and even the one I got as the last bra was like 70% off... hmmmm) This is the review for the balcony in 30DD. It is oddly flawed.

Either this was mislabeled, or by the other mishaps I've discovered, just incorrectly put together.

As for the 30DD balcony bras, the Bratabase average cup width is about 4.9" and cup width 8.6". Mine: an astounding 5.5" width, and 8.75" depth. Now the depth seems a bit on the large side, but WHAT HAPPENED with the wire portion of assembly?! Especially since it matches the wire length (mine is 9.5", average is between 9.5" and 9.8"). ... ??????????????????????? ... (Most of the 30F bras have a width around 5.5", so maybe there's a 30F bra that has its wire swapped out there and is ridiculously narrow??) Gore height is fine, actually a tiny bit shorter than average, but then the wing height is much higher at 3.75" compared to average 3.25". Cup separation is larger at a whole 1", with average around 0.8". Band is longer and stretchier too, with relaxed at 25.25" and stretched at 33", compared to average 24.8" relaxed and 30.5" stretched. Overall, weirdly larger than other Fantasie balcony 30DD bras.

From a quality control standpoint, if you have less than a second to check on it, they both look beautiful, so I can see how they passed inspection. (Honestly, fabrics are achingly beautiful, tear-worthy that neither work.) Nothing was stitched incorrectly, and no backwards straps, weirdly stretched elastics, or snags in the fabrics. But how could one end up with wires intended for two cup sizes up??

In summary: 30DD is larger than average. It is unusually wide and shallow, and yet still possesses too much cup volume for me. It sucks.

Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it

Too separate for my boobs
Band fit:
The back of the bra is not at the same level as the front (rides up)
Cup's width:
There is empty fabric on the sides (Cup too wide)

This bra didn't fit her, but these did
