Bra fitting help » Does this fit? It doesn't feel like it fits.
Le Mystere » Tisha (955) » 30C 30:3
Issue resolved
As I suspected, it does not fit. I didn't really how bad the fit was, however, until I got help here. I feel better knowing that I was correct on my hunch that the bra didn't "feel" right. I will be purchasing a Masquerade bra as soon as possible.
Original problem
I need a T-shirt bra that fits. I have about 4 t-shirts bras right now and none are working. This "Tisha" is old; from the days before I learned about proper sizing. I bought this just because I was amazed to see a size 30 band. I dug it out of my stash and I don't think it fits properly. The band actually feels good, but the straps pinch under my arms and the center gore feels too wide.

helpfulIt doesn't fit. The cups look 1-2 cups too small for you, and the straps are placed too far apart.
I think you should try some 28 bands because the straps will be placed a little closer on those than 30's.
Maybe the Freya Deco Halfcup? The bands on those run a little loose, but it might work for you.Updated on May 22, 2013 Flag this

helpfulThis bra does not fit well. The gore definitely doesn't look like it is narrow enough. I think it's actually sitting on your breasts. The straps are really wide, which looks very uncomfortable. The most obviuos fit issue, though, is that the top of the cup is cutting into your breast, creating serious quadboob.
I'm new to figuring out breast shapes, but I think that you're kind of shallow, and this bra doesn't work for shallow shapes. I think that going up a cup size in this bra would look better, but it still wouldn't work great for you.

helpfulDefinitely a cup or even two cup sizes up from this at least! Since your ribcage is 27, a 28 band will suit you better, so you'll want to adjust three cup sizes up. So you're at least a 28 E or F

helpfulI would try something from masquerade, they tend to have really narrow center gores. I would try a half cup because you seem to have closely set breasts with upper fulless. A plunge may allow your breasts to fall to the middle so the half cup would keep them separated but still leave room for upper fullness. I would try a delphi or medina in a 28F or 28FF even. Hope this helps!

try ebay or belle-lingerie.co.uk(ships to US) you can get one on either site for around $30 or if you're in the uk check out mycurvesandme.uk and if you are in fact wide and shallow check out investinyourchest.co.uk
http://www.investinyourchest.co.uk/my-curves-and-me will be helpful because she has similarly shaped breasts. Let me know if you want more places to buy from or blogs to read!!
Now I know without a doubt how badly this fits...I actually have shallow, wide breasts! I guess I'm so mushed into this thing I'm actually "deforming" my own breasts when I wear it. It's in great shape, so I'll donate it and I know someone will be able to use it. I have been eyeing Masquerade bras, but I was afraid their center gores might be comparable to LeMystere. The next bra I buy will be a Masquerade. Unfortunately Masquerades are even more expensive here than Freyas and regular Panaches. Hopefully I'll find a good deal somewhere. Thank you SO much for your help!
