Bra fitting help » Wrong style?
Panache » Porcelain Moulded T-shirt Bra (3376) » 30FF 30:8
Issue resolved
Lifting the underwire as per suggestion made a world of difference. The center sits mostly flat, though not completely. Further adjustment of the straps helped as well.
Original problem
The biggest fit issue I have with this is that I don't feel I fully fill the cups at the bottom, and when I take it off, I have marks from the wires a bit below my breasts,more so on the right, as that is my slightly smaller breast. I have the same issue with the Cleo Jude 30G. When I take it off, the wire appears to be sitting about 1/4-1/2" below my breast. The band feels nice and snug, not uncomfortably snug, but definitely not going anywhere. The wire does not seem to cut in at the sides,the cup does not cut in like others I've tried, and the top of or the top, and both feel fine to me. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or opinions.

Grab both ends of the (same) underwire and pull the cup up: a fitter taught me this. I need to do this every time I put a bra on, since otherwise I wear them all too low. If the bra doesn't stay up, then it's incompatible.

Hi there.
I have found the same thing with some bras - no matter how much I try to readjust, I just can't fill out the bottom of the cups. I think some cups are cut shallower at the bottom (perhaps poor design...I don't know) than others and my advice would be to try a different style. Have you tried the Freya Deco, for example?
I like EternalVoyageur's suggestion about pulling the cup up. I do something similar sometimes - I grab the bottom of the wire on each cup and kind of 'shimmy' it so that it shuffles up and sits directly below the underside of my breasts. I also scoop and adjust, sometimes just when I put the bra on and other times intermittently during wear as well.
I also see from the information you entered and the picture from the side that the centre gore does not lie flat against your sternum. This means you need a bigger cup.
Hope this helps - good luck!

Thank you for the advice! I will be giving a Freya Deco a try soon, and will see if that is a better fit.

Hi newboobz, try EternalVoyageurs suggestion, that sometimes works. However from the photos, and your description it looks like the 30FF may just be slightly too small for you in the cup - if you can try a 30G, the cup may just be wide enough to allow your breasts to drop down and fill the bottom of the cup. This style is available in 30G. If this doesn't work, unfortunately then it's a style issue, as this style obviously wouldn't work for you.

Thanks! I will definitely give that a try!
