Bra fitting help » This feels wrong.


Fantasie » Annabelle Side Support Bra (2842) » 30D 30:4

Issue resolved

The 3 part cups are causing "orange in a glass" and my shallow breasts are dragged down too much by the cut of the cups. In addition, the altered 30 band does not fit me properly. I will continue to wear this particular bra for the cool comfort (and because it's so darn pretty) but in the future I'll have to stay away from Fantasie because their smallest band, 30, is not a 30 I can wear.

Original problem

I thought this felt like a good fit a few weeks ago, but today it feels wrong. The straps are digging into my shoulders and giving me a headache, and I have to "scoop" at least once an hour unless I'm sitting still (which hardly ever happens). I altered the band after writing down the original measurements and the band is now 25 inches unstretched. Maybe I distorted the cups too much by shortening the band? The cups are wrinkling or gaping and it seems I either have quadra-boob or just "flattened" looking boobs. These cups feel pretty "wide" rather than long & narrow, so "orange in a glass" seems unlikely. I honestly don't know if it's the size of the bra, the styles, the cup shapes, or what, but I need advice about what to try as in size up/down/forget it all together...I was counting on this bra to be a "regular" and today it's driving me crazy.
