  1. Liftsational Classic Demi

    28R

    Didn't fit

    I have been having trouble nailing down the sizing for the Wellfitting Unicorn Classic Demi so Joanna over at Wellfitting sent me two Liftsational Classic Demi in 28R and 30R to try out. She told me that since they use European cup sizing (2 cm instead of 1 inch), the calculator is very off for small band/big cup sizes. To get the necessary 13” of depth that I’d need in a bra, I would have to go with their R cup.

    The bra is very well constructed and is a lovely silky material. It feels very soft. The wires are narrow, and the bottom of the cups fit well, especially on my larger side. The only issue is the top of the cups and the strap separation. The cups are comically tall for my lack of tissue, they measure 9” high. The straps are very wide and I have to halter neck them to not rub against my tail of spence. I would really like to know what percentage of people can wear this bra unaltered.

      This is who this bra fits: http://www.weirdlyshaped.com/2015/04/wellfittings-bravantgarde-demi.html

      I think either you are much shorter rooted or the bra is too big. How do smaller sizes fit? You also might like the Plunge better if you have short roots because it is less open on top.

      The 32K - Wellfitting » Unicorn Classic Demi fits me on the top, except that it is only 10" deep. If I wear it for more than 2 minutes I get terrible pain behind my nipple in my larger breast.

    • Comexim will add "more depth at the wire" which could be really helpful to you. This would allow you to wear a less tall/wide size and have enough space lower in the cup. Also, you can order a specific wire width and cup depth. Plus, a long list of other alterations.

      I'm both very short-waisted and have short-ish roots that squat across my chest and in my armpits. For a Comexim to fit, I would require all the aforementioned alterations. Geez.

      That's a 28M sister size you previously tried. So this one is 5 sizes bigger. I wonder if you could split the difference.

    • i just measured my CK Daily Dream and I'm surprised that the cup height is almost the same as this one. The CK Daily Dream's cups curve back toward the body, making a C shape. These just go straight up, making it not fit. I'm wondering if they cut the top two inches off the cups off if it'd be better.

    • Love4Pollinators Does Wellfitting provide customizations also? They weren't clear on that from their website. I really love the pattern on the Unicorn bra, I didn't see it on Comexim's site.

    • Yup that's short roots. I really found the plunge to work better for my short roots and long boobs. In larger sizes it is not shallow at the bottom like people find in smaller cup sizes.

    • But I have no idea if they would make the unicorn bra in a plunge.

      They used to offer alterations. Beg? ;-)

      I feel like something got very lost in translation! These cups have empty space not only above but below and on the sides, so basically they're not just a bad shape... they contain double the volume you need. If you have conical or super projected breasts or both then I question whether a demi is ever going to be adaptable to your shape, so that could be part of the problem. Do you have a bra here on Bratabase that fits somewhat well or that at least allows your natural shape in a bra to be more discernible so we can compare? Maybe do a fit request using that one and specify you would like to find a comexim or wellfitting model that works instead, and to determine a size range?

      wendybien 28JJ - Curvy Kate » Ellace Balcony Bra (CK4401) but no pictures available.

      I have pictures of the 32K Unicorn bra (not uploaded) that doesn't fit, except that it appears like it does. It's hard to explain to people that something looks great but hurts like hell because it is too small.

    • wendybien I put up a fit request on the Unicorn bra.

    • Awesome I will go and take a look.

      It really looks like you should go with 28N for a better fit. If the 32K looked like it fit but was too tight in the cup, and the 28 band fits you better, the 28N would be a cup up from the 32K, giving you added depth yet not so much that you are swimming in it. At most a 28O, but honestly I think that would give you gaping.

    • MamaPagan I guess I don't understand what cup depth is for. The 28JJ - Curvy Kate » Ellace Balcony Bra (CK4401) that I have on is 14" deep. This one is 10. If I go up another cup size it should be about 11. All bras that I've tried thus far with less than 13" depth make me hurt. I don't understand how much depth I can take off before it causes pain.

    • Most bras have some stretch in the cup so a straight measurement can be misleading. Also, the depth measurement is just at one point in the cup while the cup itself is 3D so again making the depth measurement misleading. Try not to focus as much an a measurement number as much as the fit and how it feels. Also padded or lined bras always feel different than unpadded ones.
      I wear 30K in Curvy Kate and 60O and 65N in Comexim. What fits me is all over the place in regards to cup depth though! :)
