Bra fitting help » How are the cups?
Kris Line » Brillant Biustonosz Soft (5305) » 75JJ 34:15
Issue resolved
Realized that I haven't been scooping into the cups properly, so the cups on this and my other bras aren't such a good fit anymore :/
Original problem
Apart from the loose band and weird armhole boob thing (something that also happens with Cleo Meg/Alexa and Panache Ariza... why?), is this a good fit?
The centre gore is sitting flat against my sternum in the photos, but it tends to shift around a bit during the day.

helpfulI think the cups look okay- maybe pointing a bit too east-west, and wrinkling at the bottom. Do you feel like the underwires are the right width? Are they hitting where your breast tissue ends properly?
Really, though, I think any issues with the cup in this bra would probably be solved by tightening the band and nipping in the triangle between the cups so that they're closer together. Try pinching that triangle and pinning it vertically and see if it helps; if that doesn't solve it, see if pinning the band tighter helps. (Don't poke yourself, though! You might want to get someone else to help.)
Hope that works!

The underwires seem good. I frequently find that wires in cup sizes with enough depth are too wide for me. As far as I can tell, it's fully enclosing my breast tissue without being too wide.
I'll get some photos showing what it looks like with the gore pinched in and the band held tighter.
Petalmoon, it is rather lovely isn't it?

helpfulThe armhole boob thing happens bc you have a lot of forward projection. Basically the bra is too shallow for you and doesn't have enough space in front, so the boob tries to escape into the armpits.
I think that it looks ok to me, it is a good compromise between needing space in front and the cup becoming too big. If you are comfortable and like the shape I cannot see anything against it.
Regarding the centergore: Krisline has this weird thing that the gore tends to float. The bras were IMO designed with very close boobs in mind, boobs that are so close that a wire cannot fit between them. So often you have it with Krisline that the bra fits, but the centergore doesn't sit flat. If you go up in cupsize so that the centergore then sits flat, the cup becomes too big. So don't worry about the centergore too much.

Ah, that makes sense.
It is comfortable and I do like the shape. It's rather pointy, but it does looks good under clothes. Do you know how Fortuna fits in comparison to this bra?
The centregore doesn't bother me too much, but I was curious about it so thank you.

Yes, a center gore pinch might just do the trick.
And darn what a pretty bra!
