Bra fitting help » Does this Cleo Lucy 32G fit correctly?
Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) » 32G 32:9
Issue resolved
Will look for different colors in this and other sizes.
Original problem
Very slight quad boobing on the left (larger) breast. I feel that my breasts, being pendulous, aren't really seated properly, but have a light fold or wrinkle in the bottom. There is a tiny gap in the bottom even after I seat the wires against the root.
Wire width seems good, straps too wide set. Projection is 10.5, which is less than the cup depth measures. Odd. I do NOT feel this wrinkle in my Fantasie Lizbeth.
Do I need a shallower/deeper/wider...what? cup? Or buy a bunch of Lizbeths and call it a day?
FWIW, I wear a 32G in the Lizbeth, and think a 32h in the Lucy would swallow my right breast which doesn't quite fill the cup even with shoulders back.

One cupsize up in the Lucy would be a 32GG. You could try this, but it might turn out to be too large.
My recommendation would be to try the Lucy in various colours (black, white, berry, navy-pink, coral, pink-white,...) in both 32G and 32GG. The colours all run a bit different, one colour might fit you and another won't. Just see which colour fits you best.

Different colors = different fit. It's a wonder we're not all barking mad. Trying on different colors and sizes is difficult when you can't find them in person.
I'm wearing an extender on it now and that seems to help. And I do appreciate that comment about looking awesome. I still like my Fantasie Lizbeth better but probably because it's a tad bit deeper.
I think I will end up liking it (even though I don't love yellow!)
I also got a Fantasie molded cup bra from bearbreasted and I'm struggling to love that one--it fits differently every time I put it on!

From looking at your pictures I think you might like the Fantasie Smoothing 4520 if you are looking for a T-Shirt bra.

I am. I will try to find that one. I think the Paige closes in just a tad too soon at the top of the cup or that one might fit.
I think I read somewhere the yellow one runs extra small, I think 32gg might work in this colour.
Lucy is quite shallow on the bottom, so it might be just that you need more depth near the wires but also some wire bending might be in order.
That said, I think the shape it gives you is awesome RG, I've seen you in lots of bras but this one you look like you have those teenager firm boobs :)
How so you feel about it?
