Bra fitting help » wrinkling of cups
Masquerade » Rhea (6121) » 28FF 28:8
Issue resolved
Rhea is not a suitable shape for me and I got advice about possibly better fitting bras.
Original problem
Okay, this bra definitely is not a good fit for me as you can see. My left breast is a little bigger than the right one, and there is serious wrinkling at the bottom of the left cup. The wrinkling is not nearly that bad in the right cup.
Other than that, the straps are also too wide apart. There seems to be some gapping because of that is I move and lose the "stand straight"-posture.
I have this same bra in 30E, but after decent swooping and scooping there is quadboobing and also the band is too big, so I got 28FF. I didn´t notice wrinkling at the bottom of cups in 30E, but now after rechecking I do see just a little in the left cup.
My question is, can someone recommend bras, that might fit well for me? Any suggestion is welcome

helpfulIt could be that you have more volume at the bottom than this bra allows. The bra pushes the tissue up and the tissue then pushes against the rim of the cup. It then folds over. (Can be commonly seen on Freya Decos.)
I think you might be better of with bras like the Masquerade Delphi or Masquerade Anise, which allow more space for the boobs near the wire. Cleo Juna and sisters might also be worth a shot.

The Freya Deco should allow more volume near the wire than the Masquerade Rhea, so feel free to try it.
I added the comment about the Deco for the others who see it, bc this is a phenomenon best known from that bra when the Deco is too shallow. It does not mean the Deco will be to shallow for you.

Okay! :)

helpfulI agree that it's probably a problem caused by too little depth in the bottom of the cups, but I also think it's a bit of a design flaw -- maybe an issue with fabric grain or something. I have yet to see this bra without puckering on anybody.
Something to consider is the fact that the bra band runs tight and isn't very stretchy: I myself measure 69 cm underbust and although the 28 band fits me, I think I get a better shape in a 30 band. As far as I can tell, the tight, non-stretchy band doesn't pull the bottom of the cups flat (the wires are also pleasantly sturdy so they don't deform easily), but it seems to generate diagonal tension in the cups which makes the foam and fabric 'buckle'.

helpfulIt looks like the cups are too big and that the wrinkling looks like is happening because the band is too low:

If you pulled the band of the cup up until the underwire sits on the crease/fold of your breasts you will see that the cup goes too tall:

I actually cannot pull the band any more up, this is the best I could do. I did try. It just doesn´t come more up! Anyway, do you have any suggestion about bras that could be a better fit?

If you might want to sell this bra, I'd be interested :)

Sorry, I already sent it back to where I bought it...

Thanks for recommendations! So it is the same with Freya Deco? I was going to try that bra! Maybe then I won´t.
