Bra fitting help » wide wrinkly top, can it be fixed?
Fayreform » Virtual Dream Underwire Bra (F75-447) » 32G 32:9
Issue resolved
Since I am loathe to cut into the straps on such a pretty bra: I will sell this, but keep the alteration suggested in mind for less ornate bras.
Original problem
After swooping and scooping properly (?) I get folds at the cup tops and the straps try to fold themselves over.
I think the band fits, and the cups seem to be wide enough at the base. (Still new, so am I correct?)
Is there any way to fix this, smaller cup, smaller band, or is it a lost cause?

helpfulIt also appears that the straps are set too wide for your shoulders. If you're comfortable altering the bra, moving them inward would help with the folding that's happening, but it depends on how the straps are attached and whether you're okay with cutting into such a pretty bra (I usually only attempt this with more plain straps!) I second the comment that you might be more full on the bottom, but moving the straps would also help with any gaping that occurs since there's less slack across the top of the cup.

helpfulIt's so pretty! I've never heard of this brand. Where did you get it?
I think you might be full on the bottom, and balconette styles tend to have space at the top if you're full on the bottom. I don't know if this is ok or not, so maybe someone else with more knowledge can help you.Updated on July 20, 2013 Flag this

helpfulI found this on Zulily, they seem to be a discount/clearing house for clothes and household stuff. You end up waiting a few weeks for your stuff, but the prices are usually better than amazon.

helpfulMaybe tightening straps would help or if that does or doesn't work you can clip the straps together in the back and the cups would look more lifted as if you tightened your straps. IDK. I agree with Suggestion 3 too.

Fayreform are an Australian brand. They are sold in some U.S. stores as well I believe(I am in Australia, but have seen them on her room for example). They are made by Bendon who makes elle macpherson, pleasure state and evollove.
