Bra fitting help » One breast bigger than other. Cup Size too small/big. Where to next?
Curvy Kate » Emily Balcony Bra (CK5001) » 38FF 38:8
Issue resolved
I bought three more bras to try. 38GG 36GG and 36H
Original problem
The gore doesn't tack. One boob wants to come out while the other seems to be too small for the cup. I think that the wires need to be back further, maybe?. The band might be too big for me. I need some advice!
Prior to this I didn't know that one was so much bigger than the other...
Where should I go from here? I am obviously sending this one back, what should I try next?
Please help!

helpfulthere is no way that your ribcage is 99 and that band stretches to 96 cm
)) It obviously stretches at least 10 inches more than your ribcage is, and you don't look like you have a 99 cm ribcage to me o.OAnd a perimeter of 47 seems a bit much for your boobs, please retake that one too
So please retake your measurments. When you measure your ribcage, take three measurments - supertight rip the tape while exhaled, comfortably snug while exhaled and loose inhaled. So your ribcage measurment should be the middle of the three numbers.
From the look of this, you would need 1-2 bandsizes down and 2-3 cupsizes up, but the picture quality isn't the best and apart from that I am not convinced that CK line is the best shape for your boobs.
I'm reluctant to suggest other styles before I see you on some better pictures. Please look at other fitting requests

Though is there anything that you can tell from the photos or should I just squeeze it back on and and retake photos?

No need to appologize, we all did some measuring mistakes at some points, it's a tough nut to craks :)
From this I can say that panache andorra would probably work for you, but not sure about the size. Also, maybe some ewa michalak with asymetry pads.
Having a boob asymetry is tricky, and your bigger boob seems almost a cupsizes worth bigger, and the general rule is to fit your bigger boob.
So in order to avoid gapping on your smaller side, you'd need bras with stretch lace or padded bras with removable pads so you can correct the asymetry. I am just not sure if ewa michalak would work for you because of the narrow wires. It would help if you took a profile shot that would show where wires end on your side.

maybe not all of the photos are showing up?

For the different size breast problem: fit the larger breast, then use a bra insert for the smaller one to fit into it.
It also looks like this cup size is too small.

I also have a noticeable difference between both breasts. I always size according to my larger boob. With molded bras i put a cookie in the smaller breast cup. With unmoulded bras, I might pull the strap a tad tighter on the smaller breast side but normally I don't do anything. Its really not that noticeable with a shirt on.

I would go to a 36GG or even a 36 H, clearly you need to go down a band size which would be a 36G then up 1 to 2 cups, so a 36 GG or H. The wires don't seem too narrow, I think that would be solved with larger cups. If you think that the smaller breast is an issue then always fit the large breast and pad the small breast. You can buy padding or Ewa Michalak comes with pads for breast asymmetry. Hope this helps!

Thanks I ordered a bra in both a 36GG and 36H. I received the GG first but it didn't fit right. I will post photos later on. I think that a 36 though is definitely better than the 38.
