  That looks great on you! Congratulations! I am happy for you that you found something that fits.

• 2

  Sovavosi hey, thanks. I appreciate it. :)
  I'll have to cross my fingers now that the other random, odd sized EM bras I ordered work now 🤣

• 2

  So beautiful! A great fit, I'm so happy for you :)

• 2

  Awesome!! That's great that it worked out, and it looks pretty too!

  brasaremean thank you!

• 1

  Frazzleberry right?! I was very nervous. Now I'm nervous for the other BM's I ordered in a 65J 🤦
  I agree. It's a very pretty bra :)

• 2

  It looks spectacular on you!! I wouldn't worry too much about the 65Js though, as Sofia runs a bit smaller (tighter/less flexible upper lace) so the average (regular) BMs in a size down should fit well in comparison. :-)

  Thanks MamaPagan! I'm hoping that's the case! My first order of Ewa's shipped on the 30th, so they'll eventually make their way here. Kleks, Rubin, and Topaz are what's coming. I read your Kleks review and I got nervous in all honesty 🤧

• 1

  Kleks loosened up with wear so it should be fine, too, just give it a few days with some boob tension to soften it up. :-)

  My order with Topaz shipped the same day so I'm right there with you in anticipation. I'm figuring 3 weeks due to the holiday mail rush, so around the 21st. That being said, it could be as soon as the 9th or as late as 1/11/19 in all reality. The wait is the worst!!

• 1

  MamaPagan well that's just fantastic news. Wayyyy back when I was pregnant with my first, I honestly think I may have owned Kleks in a 34KK? I can't recall the exact cup size, but I remember the cups doing that horrible sagging thing BM's used to give me. So, my fingers are crossed.

  Woohoo! Bra mail is simply the best! I love it. The waiting is definitely the worst. Eek. I hope it shows sooner rather than later!

  It looks beautiful on you!😍 I actually considered getting it from Brava and tailoring it down, but you snagged it up! (No hard feelings)

• 2

  Aha, too funny! I was bummed they didn't have the J cup, but was stoked to see they had the cup size up. Glad I got it as it worked perfectly. It will be loved dearly here ❤️

  Me too DerangedDragons19, me too! :-)

  Oops! My comment was in reference to your shipping one above. We were typing at the same time, haha!

  Looks great! I’m in the same kind of bra anticipation. I ordered a BM for Black Friday and it is delayed by the Canada Post strike backlog. I should have been strong, but I took a look and it’s now delayed 2 more days...that’s a full 7 days from the original date.

  Bummer Calluna. :-(

• 1

  Calluna you got this! The waiting is the hardest part :p

• 1

  MamaPagan I understood what you meant :)

• 2

  Thanks. I told myself that I was not going to check it because every time I do, it is pushed back...but today I caved. And it went from the 12th to the 14th. It will arrive. I know it will, but argh!

• 1

  Not sure if anyone gets updates when I edit a bra or whatnot, but I added some fit issues for anyone who was curious.

• 1

  Bummer! I found that after a few months of wearing Ewa bras, I got used to the wider set straps, but at first they were not pleasant at all. Hopefully it will get better for you too.

  For the band, it sounds like you need to join us at the 60 band club! We will gladly accept you into our little clan of the bigger busted 60 bands. :-D We welcome the added data for our preplexing puzzle!!

• 2

  DerangedDragons19 That's just how she sets her straps, unfortunately. The elastic does need time to rest between wearings so it might stretch out faster/more if you wear it every day.

• 2

  MamaPagan I actually have never had a rubbing issue before. Maybe it's just a combination of the lace and bows? It's weird. And painful. Ick.

  I do have 60 bands! :) They're not a terrible fit by any means, but I feel like some of the time with my inflammation, they're too tight. I don't know. Maybe I just feel like that because the cups are too small.

• 1

  Sovavosi True. It's basically the only bra I own right now that fits though, apart from a Curvy Kate that's really an overall bad fit for me haha. I'll just have to alternate for now :)

• 1

  DerangedDragons19 Probably the cups are too small. My once fitting bands getting tight is a sign that my cups are getting too small, especially since they fit upside down and backwards :)

• 1

  It could be DerangedDragons19. If the cups are too small it can make an otherwise good fitting band feel too tight. :-/

• 2

  Dual typing strikes again Sovavosi, haha. At least we are on the same page with our comments. :-D

• 2

  @sovavosi
  @mamapagan
  Aha, you guys are definitely on the same page :) luckily I ordered some more 60 bands! I ordered them because I knew the bras bands ran loose though.

• 2

  After a wash the straps soften considerably.

• 1

  brasaremean I'll give it a whirl and update you accordingly :)

• 1

  I highly suggest loosening the straps and trying that out. I thought all my bands were too big but the straps just were too short and pulling the band up.

• 1

  cupandahalf Wouldn't I lose the "high", rounded look? I mean, I can give it a go and see what happens, but I feel like support would be lost.

• 1

  ^^^ this is unfortunately a problem I encounter A LOT because all the straps in the world are too short for me. It looks like the band rides up but really the straps pull it up fiercely.

• 2

  90% of the support should come from the band so if the boobs droop a ton then the bra has other issues. This year I have had neck issues from wearing my straps too tight, and back issues from having the band super tight to make up for the straps. Once I adjusted the bra my muscle pain went away.

• 1

  cupandahalf I gave my bra a breather for almost two days (taking sovavosi's advice about not wearing it all the time. My ribcage was crying the entire time I wore my CK bra though 😭) before I gave your advice a try! While loosening the straps seemed to help at least for a couple hours, by the end of my shift, my band was and is riding up my back again. Maybe I do need to go down to a 60 band since my ribcage fluctuates so much? I don't know.

• DerangedDragons19 Do you have a Rixie clip by any chance?

• 1

  cupandahalf My gore isn't tacking very well anymore either. I'm not sure if letting the straps out helped or made it worse 🤦🤣

• 1

  Sovavosi no ma'am, I do not.

• DerangedDragons19 Try doing a reverse scoop and move your tissue out of the middle and see if that helps with the gore any 😀

  If you have Amazon prime, this might help you get more out of what you have: Rixie Clip Bra Band Tightener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4M6LT8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1NUcCbHF2J7MV

  Sovavosi it helps until I move, so I'm going to say no to that option? 🤣

• Sovavosi it helps until I move, so I'm going to say no to that option? 🤣

• Doh! Sorry 🙁

• 1

  Wow! That rixie clip thingy looks amazeballs! I'm going to have to get one! :)

• 2

  Rixie clips ARE amazing! Can vouch for them :)

• 1

  And that's okay! It's about my time of the month, so I think my breasts are just temporarily growing a smidge, which might explain why the bra isn't tacking as well?

• 1

  Sounds like the band is too loose, straps were too tight, and cups are too small for your current boobage. I would get a 65JJ and 60K- one for when you have swelling and one for normal times.

• 1

  cupandahalf my problem is now whether I want to cater to my larger breast or to my smaller breast and deal with the non-tacking issue. While lengthing the straps helped tenfold it seemed, my smaller breast was drowning in fabric. I agree with your assessment, but I also feel like, at least for now, I can deal with a non-tacking issue more than I can deal with an extra nearly 2 cup-sizes of fabric on my smaller side, you know?

• 1

  From experience... fit the larger breast.

• 1

  DerangedDragons19 I’m like 2 cups different on my smaller side too. I just tighten the strap more. I can’t really see it under shirts anyhow.

• 1

  Hm. Alright. Thanks, guys!

• 2

  I mean you do you but my #1 at this point is comfort, not fit.

• 1

  I second that one cupandahalf!
