Bra fitting help » Been trying to find my true bra size...
Freya » Retro Basic (3411) » 28DD 28:5
Issue resolved
Try a different shape & size
Original problem
I finally decided to get myself measured a few months ago, as I was having issues filling a 32A bra, but yet I knew there had to be more boob than that!
Got remeasured to be a 28DD, and bought a new bra (A Panache one) and it fit amazingly!
After awhile though, I've noticed various bras kinda fitting rather wonky! I got remeasured, and according to my measurements now, I should be wearing a 28FF bra!
However, with this one, I really over run the cup on the left hand side, and only JUST fill it on the right hand side.
Should I buy for the bigger boob, and then just pad the other one out? I'm not really sure what's going on!

helpfulThere are two issues at work here: A too small cup and a cup that is completely the wrong shape.
You have shallow breasts. The bras that work best on shallow breasts are padded halfcups. The bras that are usually the worst for breasts like yours are unpadded plunges, especially Freya.

This will hopefully help you a bit. My suggestion to you would be to try the Cleo Marcie and the Cleo Juna in a 28F.

helpfulWith just a quick look in my phone, the wires look really narrow on you and the cup seems to be working against you shape wise. It might be how you are standing, but the band also looks really low.
ETA: The left cup is definitely too small and even though the right looks like it's got some gapping at the top, the wire doesn't seem to be encompassing all the breast tissue. Have you tried scoop and grabbing all the tissue from the armpit and bringing it into the cup?
If I'm remembering correctly, the Retro (which I tried years ago) is a fairly shallow bra that didn't play well with my bottom-heavy breasts .

Ah thank you! To be honest, I'm quite new at the whole size & shape thing! The actual shape of my breasts never even occurred to me until I joined this site!
Thank you so much for your help!
I have tried the scoop & swoop, but it doesn't want to stay put - Is this just a problem with the wire? :)

Thank you so much for your response - I'm so new to all of this! I'm so used to thinking I was entirely flat chested, to finding out that actually I have boobs, and they have shapes too has totally blown my mind!
Checking up on those links now. Thank you again!
