Bra fitting help » Too big? Wires too wide? Should I try a 28F/28FF/30E?


Freya » Just Flew In Padded Longline Bra (1393) » 30F 30:7

This is one of my first attempts at a well fitting bra!

I don't have any major issues with this bra, though I know it doesn't fit, so here goes...

-When I bring my shoulders forward or don't have great posture the cups can slightly gape! Not massively though, and it's mainly during wear, so could this be because of the band being too big? And IF I have migrated breast tissue... could this gaping fix over time?

-I think the wires may extend further than my breast tissue?

-Is the band too big? This is brand new and shows the stretch from the tightest hooks!

-When I pull the cups to right under my breast root, the cups gape a little but this can be fixed by tightening the straps... however, if I tighten the straps the back pulls up! Is this due to the cups fitting but band being too big, the band fitting but cups too big, or both cups and band too big?!

I've shown as many pictures as I can to explain myself... and each picture states 'strap tight' or 'strap loose'. I think if the order stays the same, all of the pictures before the picture showing the band stretch are what I mean when the straps are tighter and the band rides up, and the ones after show the loose cups and loose straps etc!

I'm not sure of my root type, or if I have high, low, full on top or bottom, wide or narrow... so if you could help me to determine anything I'd be so grateful!

I think maybe I should try a 28F/28FF/30E? As I think this is probably too big.

Or should I try something like a 28DD? Which I think by the size of my breasts, I would be more suited at!

Thanks!
