  I think this bra is much too small for you in the cups! You might think that it's not THAT much too small but if you look at the picture where you show the band(the picture where you're not tugging the band with your hand) there is A LOT of migrated breast tissue! How does your back look like without a bra? Could you take a picture of yourself with a bra and without a top, just naked and showing your back? (It won't be provocative or anything, you could hold a towel in front of your boobs if you'd like) That way I would be able too see if the tissue is there even without a bra. On such a slim girl like you it's unlikely that you would have back fat, and especially back fat that's so compact (it's compressed on a small relatively small spot of your back). If you haven't read this post, do it ASAP! It will explain further to you what migrated breast tissue is.

  After reading this post, try swooping and scooping, then please shoot pictures of the fit of the bra again! Oh, make sure your straps are short enough after swooping and scooping, or else it will just slip back before you get a chance too shoot it.

  • It's also obvious that you have migrated breast tissue near your armpits at the front.

  • I did put it on using swooping and scooping as best I can. I had a friend give me a 28E and 28F(altered to a 26 band) Flirtelle Sublime, and I could tighten the straps until I had very painful red lines in my shoulders and no more strap to tighten and I still got the "back fat" effect, with lots of empty cup space too. If I try to pull *all* the tissue from my back into the cup, my skin gets pulled uncomfortably. Is there a way I could send the photo of my bare back (or any other photo) directly to you so you could annotate the photo to point things out? I'm really horrible with words and understand best with pictures.

  • I will send you my e-mail in a message here on bratabase :) However, I will have to get back to you tomorrow because the clock is 3:25 in the morning over here xD Terrible that I haven't gone to sleep yet!

  Note that in general Freya bras have shorter wires under the arm than other brands, so that's why this one feels short to you. They also tend to have stretchier bands. If you want higher and tighter, go for other brands like Panache, but of course it will vary by bra style itself too!

  It might just be me, but it kind of looks like the bra might be sitting too low on you by about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Are the underwires at the base of your root (in the crease)?

  • pretty much.I'd describe my boobs as being rather "oval" at the root, and the most full part being the lower inner quarter. My left breast is also a little lower than my right, so from some angles it looks like my bra rides too low. It might also be a little lower than normal in two of the pictures.

  From the back pictures you have posted the back picture and it seems to be already cutting into your tissue, having a tighter/smaller band will just create more protrusions and more migrated tissue. I try to ask everyone on here why the infatuation with tight bands.

  Just a suggestion, but try to have the same band size or bigger. Then up 1-2 cup sizes, it doesn't hurt to try.

  And also, you might want to try a bra that has higher sides since there's migrated tissue around the underarms (might not be noticeable since I suspect is already firm and mistaken for muscle). This should be moved back to the cups or else you will find your breast getting smaller throughout the years.

  Hope that helps..
