Bra fitting help » 28F CK Smoothie fit issue
Curvy Kate » Smoothie Moulded Bra (CK2401) » 28F 28:7
Issue resolved
I need a bigger cup size. I will list this bra for sale.
Original problem
I ordered this before Christmas last year, during the time when I was still vague about my size.
It arrived today, and after putting it on, I'm surprised it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Here are the issues:
- Minor quadboob after swooping and scooping. However, it doesn't show under clothes.
- On the left side of the band, between the boning and the underwire, there's a gap poking out. I wonder why is that?Thanks!

Again you with the F's
But seriously, this is the best fit I've seen so far on you. I was ready to declare it wearable if it wasn't for the side shot that reveals just how much of your boob is left uncontained. I do think all your issues should be resolved in ff or preferably g
I'm not sure I understand what a "gap poking out" is though - do you think this is a fit issue or a sewing mistake?Updated on January 4, 2013 Flag this

Added. That's how it looks if I'm wearing it. Is it because the band is loose? I think I'm gonna return this bra anyway, because the band is not snug enough on my 27" ribcage. I might exchange it for Cleo Meg.
-
both actually. I think wires should be a bit wider for you and you should get more coverage from the side - so yes, the cup should come closer to your armpit, and from what I see, it should be 3-5 cm higher.
-
Can it be achieved by going up a cup size, or finding a different design?
-
Like I said, I think this bra would do you good in a cup or two up. and that poke/gap is I think indeed a sewing mistake.

You might want to list the Smoothie on reddit r/braswap while you can still return it. It is sold out almost everywhere and there are some people desperately looking for this bra in 28F.

Vee - yeah I think 28FF/G would be a better fit. Too bad the band is not as snug as I would like it to be.
@t_maia - Oooh thanks for the tip!
LOL please don't hit me with a stick! :P This was way before you start yelling at me to start wearing G's, haha.
Speaking of how much my boob is left uncontained, do you mean that the cup on the sides must be higher and closer to my armpit, or the underwire must be further back of my ribcage?
The gap poking out is, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'll take a picture. :D
