Bra fitting help » Best way to even out breast size?
Curvy Kate » Tease Me Padded Bra (SG2001) » 36DD 36:5
Issue resolved
Need to go up a cup size and get pads for the smaller breast.
Original problem
This bra seems perfect (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new at this). I did what the instructions said & fitted the larger breast. So now how do I fix/hide the difference?

helpfulMy suggestion would be to call bra fitting specialists that work with breast cancer patients. Women who have had a lumpectomy often have uneven breasts. For these women there are special silicone pads out there to even things out. These people get trained by the companies that produce the pads. Your best chance of finding the perfect silicone pad is IMO one of those specialists.
I don't know how it is where you live, but in my country you can sometimes get these pads on prescription for a significant asymetry that is not cancer-related.

helpfulDoes the difference show through clothes? If not, this is not a problem. A quick fix are the asymetry pads ewa michalak makes. You can order just the pads or you might also try some of her cuts, I think her bras with pads could work for you.

helpfulbra cups are definitely too small. Please look at the picture of your back, do you see spillage in your upper back close to the arm pit area? All that can be moved back to your breast.
The side band and shoulder bands of this bra looks adequate, but the back buckle area is too thin, it can not provide the support needed to hold your breast in place after you move the spillage back to your breast.

I kind of have to agree with this. It looks like the wires could stand to be sitting back a bit farther under your arm (another cup size up) so that you could pull more of your tissue into your cup.
Have you properly scooped and swooped????
What you might find is that the straps on CK bras sit too far apart for you. These look pretty far out on your shoulders. Going up a cup size would probably make the straps rub unbearably on you.

yes, I scooped and swooped ad nauseum, lol! It's a new concept to scoop from the armpit area. I agree, I think the cups are too small. However, that's just going to make my smaller breast gap even more. *sigh*

Perhaps it's just a matter of needing wider wires? Although, CK has wider wires in general.
As someone else mentioned, inserts may be the route to take. A lot of women have size differences between breasts, so definitely nothing to be ashamed about. Even Jo-Ann fabrics sells cheap inserts.

I just ordered some Ewa Michalak bras. We'll see how they work!
