• From the way you describe it, it honestly sounds like the cup is too big. If the band was too small, maybe retry it in a 36F - larger band, smaller cup.

• I think you should look for bras that don't have a cup that's made completely out of stretchy material like Hettie it. From your description here (pictures would help us figure it out better), it sounds like the bras cup stretched to contain your tissue, but then was too tall since your tissue sort of "puddled" into the bottom of the cup instead of being shaped by the cup. I'm not sure going up or down a size would really help you much in this situation. I know the Cleo Minnie has nice taught cups and fairly short cup height which should both be good things for you. Stretch lace at the top of a cup could be great for you since it conforms to shape, but if your tissue is super soft, you will need cups with much less stretch so that your tissue is shaped instead of shaping the bra. Though if you really like the bra definitely try what lcl0706 , said. It could do the trick or at least make it wearable.

  thecatladies7011 belatedly commenting I agree it does look a little big (the photos uploaded to this bra are yours, right?) but personally I found Cleo materials and construction uncomfortable regardless of size and I've been everywhere from 30/32 E/F to 34G-H, so follow your instinct. If you have an ample, projected breast and slightly wider breast root, sizing down will help a cup fit at the top but the wires may be narrow for you.

  I see in your profile that you are likely recovering from your surgery so I wish you a swift healing process, and you are welcome back to find fabulous new bras when you are ready! Best wishes!

• Hey, thanks for all the feedback. Pretty crazy that as soon as we decided to go real bra shopping, I got called into surgery and am sitting here all taped up, and looking forward to bra hunting again in a few months!
