This bra is kind of an exagerated version of what my usual fitting problem is. That is get quad boob in the middle but excess fabric at the top where the straps meet. So although this bra appears way too small i couldn´t go up a size because it is already too tall and big at the top. I like the style though of having just a little bit of padding at the bottom. It doesn´t really look or feel like a padded bra but the padding gives a good lift. I thought this might have finally been the solution to my quest to find a non ...padded-moulded bra that fits. I thought maybe the little bit of padding would mean it could still fit, but as it wasn´t all padded i might feel like i had something different and an alternative to my usual moulded cups. But no! This was not the solution at all.
The body of this bra fits nicely though. I think is firmish for a 30. I measure a 28 but found this comfortable in the body (although i think i don´t wear my bras as tight as most people on this site seem to). Read more 95 more words
The excess fabric at the strap isn’t considered a fit issue. The rest of the cup is too small for you. Generally instead of sizing down the cup, look for cups that have a shorter height, like a half cup, if this bothers you.
I’d suggest a half cup style too if the taller gores don’t bother you. Not very many people add cup height yet but I can think of a few bras I tried that were just too short for me. Some Gossard are shorter, the Sm shape Ewa M, cleo unlined are often shorter. You might have tall roots too and a lot of inner fullness making it a bit more challenging. Open cups help that. I’ll have to look at some of your other bras. I’m a similar size if you want to look at any of my reviews.
I sized up in the cups for this bra, but it still didn't fit. It's waaaaaay too shallow for me. I've never had a bra fit so badly before, and that's saying something. The wires can not physically reach my imf because of how shallow the cups are. The bottom half of the cups are completely flat against my ribcage and then jut out where the cup has a little more depth. There isn't enough cup left at that point to contain all of my boobs and the result is a hot mess. I wish I'd taken a picture of my wearing it to illustrate just how bad of a fit this was.
The band is nice and snug and is lined with silicone to help it stay up. It looks like it would be good quality strapless bra if you fit its shape. Projected, full-on-bottom people, stay away.
I tried an ultimo strapless a few months ago and had the exact same fit problems. It was seriously the worst fitting bra I've ever tried... so bad that I didn't even want to give it away for free here.
I know what you mean. I didn’t want to offer it here either so I decided to return it.
This bra was nicer, velvety in person, which I didn't realize. Unfortunately, cups gaped a bit on top, and the material was scratchy for me (I'm sensitive). This might work better for someone a little fuller on top.
Wow, I really wanted to like this bra. The size was just slightly off, giving me a bit of quad, and digging the wire into my ribs. I'm FOB, center full, wide & tall shallow roots, but also with a fair bit of projection (I think!).
I am not sure if this fits. when i first put it on and scoop there is some quad boob but it seems to settle. The back feels ok, although better on the middle hook and i can easily wear on the tightest (but it isn´t made in 28). I have trouble finding bras that fit and especially non padded bras so although this is not perfect i am considering keeping it. My issue is usually that there is gaping fabric at the top where the straps meet the bra but quad boob in the middle where my breasts meet. In this bra this doesn´t ...seem soooo bad. It is more of a straight across style rather than plunge so i don´t think it is as high near the straps so there isn´t so much extra fabric, although i would still prefer it to be a bit shorter. I think my issue is that i have short root but i don´t really know.
The wires at the front in the middle sit a bit funny as my breast being close together push them out a bit and they don´t sit quite right, but are ok.
This bra doesn´t give much shape. I think looks ok from the front but not great from the side. I wouldn´t be able to wear with fitted tops, but would be ok under jumpers.
I am used to wearing moulded cups (as i can´t find anything else that fits) so in comparison i don´t find this as supportive as i am used to but is ok.
The underlay of the bra is a skin tone. Objectively i think it is great that it is a darker brown colour as skin town too often (nearly always!) seems tto mean fair skin. However while objectively i think it is good that this is a darker skin tone, as i am actually very fair for me the colour is too dark. But this wouldn´t stop me getting the bra if i decide the fit is ok.
Update - I decided not to keep this and keep trying for something that actually fits and not just sort of fits. Read more 257 more words
You have more center tissue than any of these bras allow - have you tried REVERSE scoop and swoop? Moving the tissue towards the OUTSIDE of the cup instead of towards the inside, like most videos tell you to do? That works for me in some bras. and loosen the straps
Thanks, yes i do. I tend to scoop up to get into the wires at the side (ie when i first put a bra on usually i don´t feel my breasts are encased in the wires properly maybe because my breasts are a little wide) then once they are in the wire then i run my hand along the top to try and get them back in the bra. Does that make sense_ i think this is what you mean?
yeah, it does just sound like all your bras are too small. A good fitting bra should hug your boob with no empty space and no overflow. Dont be afraid to go up a cup size - again, just because one bra was too bgi doesnt mean another model will be in that size. each model runs differently
