Confused

Got this from Levana in the US. Description said it runs small in the band but the band only feels marginally tighter than my 80E BM Antonina. Some gapping on my small side but good fit on my large side. A little bit of pulling across the front, but I like the lower gore and lower cup height compared to the BM. I actually thought I was buying an S not an SF, I tried the SF Nibynic in this size and cups were obviously too big. Will have to wear it for a bit but overall I'm happy with it, unless someone sees something wonky on the fit! I love the subtle floral pattern in the purple.

So this is the bra I used to live in when I thought I was shallow. I know it's not recommended for projected breasts, but honestly I may not care. Theres about a finger width of space at the bottom of the cup between the wire and my IMF, and the bottom of the cup puckers a bit. Probably due to being too shallow so its pushed down a bit. But it's one of the few plunges I can get to work. The wires are also a bit wide on the side. Wear the top of molded portion sits near the strap pulls away a bit, but not ... terribly noticeably. I remember it being fairly comfortable, though I was wearing 34DD previously. I tried that on, and similar to my DD/E dilemma in the BMs, I can wear a DD, but I have to be very careful with the scoop and swoop or I end up falling out the middle. I may have to get both and wear them a bit to decided.

Reasons I'm thinking of keeping it despite it being top shallow include: it's still pretty comfy, its readily available in a variety of colors, unlike BMs I can wear it with sleeveless tops, it looks good under clothes.

Reasons I'm thinking of ditching it: now that I know better I'm definitely more aware of the lower wire placement being off (it's not uncomfortable but its noticeable), I may be better off in a 34DD after some settling (will have to wait and see), my eyes go straight to the bump/wrinkle in the bottom of the cup and it bugs me, even though others might not even notice!

Another round of EM bras to try! These are all what I could find in my sizes for sale in the US, do somewhat limited. All of the 75Fs on these have three hooks instead of the 2 on the SF Iris, which I prefer but I think it kinda wierd?? All are without extenders, like the Iris I feel like I'm between a 75 and an 80 band.

Aesthetically this bra is not terribly appealing but its a good functional nude color and the pearl and bow are cute. Probably about as flat as you can expect a cut and see bra to be.

Like the PL, I almost ... feel like theres something almost east-west happening on some of these pics?? I like the lower cup height, and lower gore, and less fabric at the strap attachment. The band feels ok and after breaking in I think would be fine. I tried an 80 and it was definiltey too big. It gives good lift, but I'm already sort of migrating toward the center, and In worried as I settle into it I'm going to spill out the center and then be gapping near the straps. I tried it with both cookies. I definitely need the cookie on the smaller side, could go either way on the larger. You can see in the side view a black mark (2 actually, but the one closer to the underwire marks the edge of my roots), and this bra is a little wider than that. I dont think I could get in a smaller cup size though, I think the center edges would dig in badly.

Overall I'm mostly confused by this bra, I can't really tell if it fits!

I was looking for something similar to a Ewa Michalak SF but that was a better fit, as that style just didnt seem to work for me. I love my BMs but they just don't work under all clothes. I found this for a good price on Amazon so gave it a try! The first time I wore it it felt tight in the band by just a bit. But the day I wore it with an extender the straps were slipping and it look pretty awful by the end of the day, lots of empty space on my smaller breast and some on my larger. I put ... it on again this morning without the extender and it felt better (that's what the pics are from) so maybe it just started a little stiff. The wires seem narrower than my BMs, but I'm wearing 80Es so they are technically different cup sizes. They are right on the edge of my tissue so I literally couldn't size down. It fits my larger breast well and has just a tiny bit of looseness in the lace on my smaller. I love the soft pastel floral and the look under clothes is lifted and amazing! I wish the gore were a bit shorter but it's not uncomfortable. I wish it had 3 hooks instead of 2 but that's preference more than anything. Also just for information it does have boning on the side wings not unlike other bras I've tried with this I dont even notice it.

Any fot suggestions or does it look good?

So I'm still torn between 80DD and 80E. This one is stretchier fabric than the lace ones, which cut into my breast at the horizontal seam in a DD, but have slight wrinkling at the upper cup in an E. After putting back on about 8 lbs I've loosened it to the loosest hook when I was in the second, because it was digging in slightly under the cups. I probably need a hook I between the two but cant have everything! It's a nice nude color for light shirts and the lace isnt super obvious under clothes so it's a good workhorse nude bra for me. The straps don't slip, it's mostly comfy and I'm not adjusting it all day.

So I actually love the look of this bra, with the exception of the pink pom pom on the gore. I go back on forth on whether it's cute or weird lol!

When I first put this on I like the ... look better than the SF Iris, and I like the 3 hooks and wider straps. I have about an underwires width if empty space on the side of the cups and some wrinkling in the bottom. I think if I size down for width it may end up being too shallow and have worse wrinkling maybe?? I'd probably wear with an extender until it's broken in a bit. The colors are so pretty but again I'm torn on the fit! I'm gonna need to wear it for a day and see what I think.

I know the black sometimes has a different fit but this is the color they had available. I thought maybe smaller cup would reduce wrinkling at the top? And it did. It also sits right where is should on my ... root width. But now I've got this wrinkling/folding at the bottom of the cup, so this may be too small in that regard. The band is definitely snug and I would need an extender on this. I also feel like the straps cut into my tail of spense area a bit, and it seems kinda oddly proportioned to my body but I've also been wearing more fill coverage so maybe that's me.

Again I'm getting myself confused. I feel like this is uncomfortable enough because of the straps that's it's a no, but other than the bottom cup wrinkling I love how it hugs my breasts...

I've wanted this bra since the first pic I saw. I love the teal color spectrum and the white with black polka dot accents are so fun!! I tried at least one other size and ended up settling on this one. There is just a tiny bit of empty space at the top.of the cups near the straps, but in this stiffer lace style going down a cup size gives me in cup quadding at the horizontal seam. Theres some slight pulling across the front. After removing the bra I think maybe along the bottom edge the cups are a bit wide set there, so my center full boobs might be climbing out the top a bit at the middle. The band doesn't feel tight, I think it gets bunched a bit at the bottom due to my being short waisted. I like strap placement on the 80DDs better but this works. Overall it's pretty comfy and gives a nice shape so I think it's a keeper!

Take 2 attempt on Comexim Half cup. Doesnt fit.

It was still too big in the cup, and either too tall or too open. I took 2 triangle sections out making it a 3HC instead of 2HC, and it fits much better. It's now wearable though a little minimizing from the side profile. But it's so pretty I just want to wear it!

This bra's measurements have been altered

Requested reduced cup height. Took in cups

This is one of the most adorable bras I have ever seen and I desperately want to keep it, but I’m not sure on the fit so I’ll be posting a fit check
