  I think the problem might be that the straps are set too wide for you The Tease Me seems to have very wide-set straps to begin with, and I think that may be what's causing the problem for you.

  Please have a look at this picture I drew for you!

    Sorry for the late reply. I tried tugging in those places and it seems to help. However, I'm scared to alter a bra, and I'll be returning it.

    Thank you so much for your comment as it opened my eyes to a factor of bra fitting that I hadn't considered yet.

  • I completely understand your concern, maybe someday in the future you'll be better at sewing and more confident about the whole thing :) I'm glad I could help you see things a little clearer! :)

  While certainly not a great solution, I came up with a way to make mine fit a little better, by putting some extra padding in the bottom of the cups. Since it's a balconette, it gives some really nice upward lift and shape.

  Or, for something a little more drastic, if you or someone you know has any experience with sewing, you can move the straps further inward to better fit your shoulders. Don't know how much that would help, as it seems that this bra is designed more for women who are full on top, but it's worth a shot. You could also try taking in or gathering (running a loose stitch and pulling the fabric along it so that it wrinkles a bit and gets shorter) the top of the cups. Hope this helps, cause I know I don't have to tell you how beautiful the bra is.

  To me the wires look to wide for you shape and the wide set straps accentuate that fact and cause the cups to pucker out. I think a smaller band with narrower cups would help a lot, but based on the measurements you provided I'm not sure that would be possible. I have similar problems with finding cups that aren't too wide while maintaining a band that's not too tight.

  Honestly, I feel like the Tease Me was never meant to be anything more than a bedroom bra. The fit seems ok on this, but you couldn't wear it under t shirts or anything because of how the rim of the cup stands away from the body. If you're looking for a bedroom bra, either keep this one or size down for crazy cleavage, but if you were hoping for an everyday bra I don't think the Tease Me is it.
