Bra fitting help » A good fit?
Bravissimo » Fleur Bra (LN103) » 32K 32:15
Issue resolved
I got an image on how a size cup size smaller will look on me when trying the similar constructed Linear Rose in a 30K.
Therefore I think 32K is the best fit I can get in this bra. I won't exchange it for a 32JJ!
Original problem
I've had a hard time figuring out what's up with this bra.
The wires are extremly narrow for a 32K. More like on a 30JJ Panache Jasmine or a 32J Ariza.Also the band does run quite tight, so the 32 band is definitely good for me.
I like the material & how supportive it is.
I’m not sure about the cups. They are a bit big but there is not much gaping on top.Maybe it’s how this bra is constructed. It's very high coverage.
Should I keep it or leave it? I Would be thankful for some opinions.

I have gone through this pictures a stalking number of times,
And I concluded that this is by no means a bad fit.
Now, I do think you could go down a cupsize - the fit in the top part of the cup should be better and maybe you would get a less projected closer to the body look. However, as you stated that wires on the fleur are borderline too narrow in this size, a size down would be definitely too narrow, which could lead to orange in the glass accompanied by quadboob on top.
So this size is probably the best compromise on you.
As for the shape, it is odd to se your usually full on top boobs so flattened in the upper section but I don't think it's a bad shape.
So bottom line is - if it's comfortable and supportive, keep it. And if you ask me, compaired to dotty, I would surely be more inclined to keeping this one

Linear Rose in 30K was a disaster on me. If that's how Fleur will look in a cup size smaller, 32K is probably the best fit I can get in these bras.

The little bit of gaping you point out in the last photo is something I also experienced and was told it was normal. It might go away once you and the bra get used to each other, so to speak.
I'm no expert--in fact I'm still learning a lot--but the cups come up high because of the style. If you are comfortable, go with it. To me, it looks like it fits. And it's very pretty.

I'm more used to bras cutting in on top than on being to big. It's not bad although I fear If I wear it a long time the shoulder straps will be very uncomfortable because I have to tighten them so much. I had red marks just from wearing this bra for 5 minutes.

Hi,
I think that the bra fit is about as good as we can expect . It looks very good everywhere except as you say along the top. When there are only a few bras that go up to K or KK then the bras have to cope with a wide range of shapes and become optimised. I have similar issues being much fuller in the bottom of the cup than the top and it will only get worse now I am the wrong side of 40.
When manufacturers bring out more of our size bras then they will be able to vary the shape of the cups on each model of bra to cope with the differences between usUpdated on January 10, 2013 Flag this

Yes it's not that bad, that's why I asked for opinions. The choices are really limited for J+ cups. It gets even worse with newer bras suffer from bra shrinking syndrome.

I'll get the Linear Rose tomorrow - finally!
Then I'll compare the two. If the LR fits me better, Fleur goes back.
The shoulder straps do dig in painfully because I have to tighten them so much to get a decent shape.
