Bra fitting help » Apparently this doesn't fit?
Elomi » Caitlyn Underwire Side Support Bra (8030) » 34H 34:11
Issue resolved
Removed the fitting things "too high at sternum" and "straps too far apart". Now it says it fits, just like it should!
This would be me not understanding the site.
Original problem
I don't understand why the site is saying this bra doesn't fit. I measured as accurately as I could, and looking at it, I think it fits! What do you think?
No, the band is not level, but that is because it's either on or around the 'back fat' and honestly, around is WAY more comfortable than on. The band is a little snug, but it's what I asked for during my fitting, as I wanted a bra to hold everything still and in place, that wouldn't show lots of seams under t-shirts.
I've worn this about a dozen times, and I still like it. My only complaint is the centre gore sometimes bothers me by the end of the day - it ends at an awkward point for me.

Are you talking about the "Didn't fit" next to your review? That's because you set two fit issues ( Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too high, and Are too far apart), not because of your or the bra's measurements.
It looks like it does fit

Have you tried going down in cupsize to a 34GG? To me the cup seems too big. The wires look extremely wide and there are wrinkles near the underwire in the right cup. This would also be in line with the wires coming up too high under the arms and at the centergore.

Hi t_maia. Thanks for your feedback! The wires are extremely wide, but they are not uncomfortable. The wrinkles were because I was stretching my arm out to take the picture. When I stand normally, they aren't there. My right side is also smaller than my left, which might have contributed.
I'd love to try it in a 34GG, but there is no store nearby that stocks what they consider the "half sizes". I tried the 34G and it was SO horribly uncomfortable, and didn't fit at all. It also had very high wires in the centre, so I'm not sure the GG would be any different.

I agree with t_maia, the cups look too big on this bra. Of course the GG would be different than the G, it is a cup size larger :)

if the wires hit you at the wrong spot in the center gore try the Elomi Sakura/Confetti cut, the Panache Andorra, the Elomi Cleo Bandless and the Elomi Suzie/Betty cut. All those bras have a lower center gore.

Just to be clear, the Panache Andorra plunge has a low center gore, but the Andorra full cup has a rather high one. I do not know how tall the OP is so how high the one in the pic is, relative to her body, so I am not sure how to compare. But I am 5'3" and the center gore of a 34GG Andorra full cup comes up almost to the very top of my cleavage. It gives me something of a Marie Antoinette look. This makes it super-supportive, the high center gore is a great anchor.
Ooohhhh.... That makes sense. :) It does fit, but yeah, those wires in the centre hit me at the wrong spot. I can wear it all day, but I do notice it by the end of 12 hours!
