likesThe wires are nearly the same width. The band on the Phoebe is extremely stiff, and the Phoebe wires are much more flexible than the Ritzy wires, so they warp more easily. With the Phoebe wires sitting in the correct place, the cups are definitely much deeper.
I based my assumption that the Phoebe would fit on the fact that I had to size up in the Marcie to 28FF, and those two had basically the same measurements. But I realized, like the Phoebe, the Marcie band is extremely tight so the wires are warped and are stretched almost an inch behind my breast tissue. So technically, the Marcie is too bit for me too if the wires sit in the correct place.
Also, my Ritzy is actually a manufacturing error, and the cups run much deeper than the interpolated; its measurements are closer to those of the Ritzy 28FF. So technically, a 28F Ritzy would be too small for me, while the 30F Phoebe is definitely too large.Updated on Nov 19, 2015
