Bra fitting help » Wrong size or wrong style?
Midnight Grace » Violet Padded Plunge (103123) » 30G 30:9
Issue resolved
Found a used 30G that is stretched to 10 inches in the cup (30GG) that fits me.
Original problem
I measured myself at a 30G, and found a non-padded Fantasie Katheryn at the Rack in 30G, which fits like a dream. I purchased several more 30G bras online, but they don't fit! This Midnight Grace is one of them. Here is the other: http://www.bratabase.com/listings/dhye4/
The cups seem to fit at first, but after a few minutes of wear I'm popping out in the front, especially my larger breast (my left, photo right[?]). I also have problems filling the bottoms of the cups.
The band is 31 stretched and I wear it on the loosest hook.
Is this a problem with the style of bra?
Should I go up to 30GG? Maybe the Fantasie that fits so well ran large?
Should my size be larger when buying padded vs non-padded bras?

helpfulI'm new to this, so I could be saying the absolute wrong thing. But, I think it looks like you need bigger cups. Otherwise it looks like a great fit (to me). This bra is meant to be a "sexy plunge", and the size you're wearing is trying to "plunge" you out of the cups! From what I can tell the band looks fine. As long as it's not uncomfortable in any way from digging or sliding you probably just need to try the same bra in a 30H.

helpfulIf your perimeter is 12, you can wear G cup to HH cup depending on the brand. Maybe sometimes a 32 band also. Every brand is so different. You need bras that are made for full on top women. Sometimes when you look at reviews on bratabase women will say whether the bra is good for full on bottom or full on top. Just try different sizes. I think Fantasie Susanna bra runs big in the band. I got HH from counting A=1 B=2 and 12=HH. Mine is 10. So the biggest cup size I can wear is probably a 26 or 28 GG. Smallest cup size has been a VS 34D. I hope this helps. Also some brands don't fit right even if you get the right size just because their shape is wrong for you. In your picture the cup separation looks too separate for you. It looks both tight in the front part of the band and wrinkly in the cups like you need a full on top bra the is more close set. http://www.bratabase.com/browse/masquerade/rhea-6121/28G/ Not the size but the shape of this bra would probably work for you. Since it runs tight in the band you might want to wear a 32. I could see you wearing this one too: http://www.bratabase.com/browse/gorgeous/862742249/30FF/

>If your perimeter is 12
I am never quite sure where to end the measurement on my outer ribcage, but 12 is what I came up with.When I bend over, my breasts are much more pendulous/saggy.
I thought I was full on bottom, mostly due to the sag shape.. interesting that you see full on top. I guess the shape changes naked vs not?
Thank you so much for the suggestions!

Right now I am strongly considering ordering a Freya Deco in Nude because I desperately need a t-shirt bra and right now, nothing fits. Well, 1 bra fits. Do you think the deco is an OK shape for me?I am comparing the measurements of the Deco with the Kathryn (1 bra I have) and they seem close in band and cup depth. The Deco is not as wide in the cup though. Would that cause quad boobing? Perhaps order 30GG?
-
Deco is the molded cup right? I tried that one time in a 28E. The top of the cup was too big. I think I have really short boobs and the style was too long for me. That's all I know about Deco Freya. sorry. The reason I thought you were top heavy is because I can see your girls above the tops of the cups. and wrinkling at the bottom of the cups. sorry about that too lol
In the picture I would say a 32G might fit better.......if that is a 30G. -
I don't have any good suggestions, but I thought I'd link you to a chart that might help you decide if you're full on top or full on bottom (or have even fullness!). I believe t_maia introduced it. http://i.imgur.com/zeP3dZF.png Good luck!

thank you for the link trebuchet :)

Where I start measuring my perimeter is usually right in the middle on the side a little bit beyond where my breast tissue starts and like right under my armpit because when I bend over it makes the tape measure go over the fullest part of my breast. It is about in the middle of where my armpit is that I start measuring but under a little bit. I hope I'm doing it right I tried to copy the picture that shows you how to do it. I hope this helps.

I am f/b 1/5 I never get quad boob on top usually it is extra material on top

ShaniSunAZ Thank you! I think you must be right. Do you think I should go from 30G to 30H or try 30GG in between sizes?
