Bra fitting help » Keep it or not ? exchange ?
Ewa Michalak » 3d Szykuś (423) » 70D 32:4
Issue resolved
I re-tried the bra yesterday, and wanted to wear it half an hour only(to be able to send it back in good condition if needed). But I totally forget it, and worn it all the afternoon, it is only the tag diging in my armpit that remembered me I was wearing a bra. It was an active day (moving big furnitures) I wasn't annoyed by the bra, just by the tag.
Other good thing, but strange : I am now on PMS (so fuller, firmer heavier breasts), and the bra looks much better ! It is still pointy, but the bottom of the bra is a bit more round, because of the weight of my breasts pushing down I suppose. The top is also more full, I am just at the limit of quadraboob, but no digging or red marks, my fullness is where there is no bra and can live in freedom braless in the top of the bra. Strange strange strange because I was thinking the bra was good but on a small side, but now I have gained a size, it fit much better !
So, confort is definitely good enough, with heavy boobs, the shape is pretty, I keep it !
I think it will become third favorite bra or so.Thank you all of you for taking the time to help me !
Original problem
This bra "fit", I can't say the contrary.
But, wires are on the narrow+short side : they are not ON the breast tissu but just next to (absolutely not painful), and they "push" my breast in front of me, like that : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2TUfoFDK4Q/UWAfhEFJPrI/AAAAAAAAAmM/ZsKW6aCmsQE/s320/SCHEMA.jpg (brown=natural shape, red=the bra).
I have a PL toffik in 70DD that have exactly the same wires, I had it a few months ago and worn it a lot, but I know wires are not the best for me (I have to re-adjust in the day, the front look make me a bit hulk in a push-up). The advantage of the 3D bra is at least my breast tissue fill all the cup, that is not the case of the PL that is too deep.
Straps are also 1 or 2 cm too short, the band is tighter than what I prefer but is totally wearable.
It is difficult to judge alone, because on one side I know I will be a bit annoyed by the bra when wearing it, but on the other side, it is beautiful, and black (I need/want a black bra)My questions are :
- what do you think of the fit ?
- Do you think the 34C have wider wires ?
- Do you think this bra make me beautiful enough to keep it, even if it is not perfect perfect ? (I know it is a strange question for a fitting help, but I am in between "hello,I am sexy", "the LACE on the band is so pretty, the fabric so soft, but I don't really like the diamond-bow" and "hello I am Hulk with pointy little fun boobs" )Thank you in advance !

helpfulI can totally relate to how you feel about this bra. It's a problem I myself have with Ewa Michalak (other than that most of her styles aren't really compatible with my breasts at all) although I haven't tried the 3D range yet, but also with the Freya padded half cups, for example: they push the breasts too much front and centre (yes, there really is such a thing as too much front and centre) for my wide-shouldered frame, making my upper body look completely out of proportion -- in my opinion, of course
Also, I find that to keep my breast root inside those narrow wires, the band has to be tighter than I am comfortable with, but maybe that isn't an issue with you.Anyway, back to you and this 3D Szykuś.
I actually don't think it makes you look out of proportion, but as I wrote above, I can understand why you feel it might be doing just that. The side view does seem a little bit odd, but I agree with Branarchist : this will make a lovely 'special occasion' bra. I think it will look phenomenal under tailored clothes, for example.

MilkAndHoney Galactica This is exactly what I tried to explain in my review of 32HH - Tutti Rouge » Betty Bra (TU103) Freya and Ewa bras are terribly unhealthy for boobs like mine while typical pushups are really really good. What a typical pushup does is supporting boobs so they won't fall out on the sides but instead can go to the upper inner quadrant and boom cleavage. Ewa on the other hand are made for deep boobs and so forcefully pushes the whole boobs front and center. And that is terribly uncomfortable and unhealthy.
-
Branarchist : yes, Ewa Michalak are unconfortable because of the pushing front and center, but on the other hand, their center gore are a dream of confort for close together breasts !
I am more and more thinking I will not keep it, but I am still in between... I have tried my clothes with the Szykus, I havn't found a really "waou" fit ( maybe "waoo" ? what do you say when you look at something beautiful ?), but it never look bad, just unusual. I have worn it during half an hour, confortable, straps are ok, underwires too, best support than the PL because cups are fully filled : good points. But underwires are this particular shape, bad point.
Do you know a black pretty bra around 35€ or less, with narrow center gore and the combo very wide wires+shallow cups ?
-
Galactica: as everybody is probably quite sick of hearing by now, I absolutely LOVE my Braologie Posture-Contour Casual ;) It maybe is a bit plain and definitely not as dainty as this EM, but it works like a dream for my superconical breasts, is the most comfortable thing ever, and actually flatters my frame, something that plunges don't usually seem to do.
Branarchist : yes, exactly :)
-
The braologie bra looks so good on you ! Congratulations :) !
I am a bit afraid of the "posture corrective" thing, and how it works or not works during a long time of wear. I think prefer reading more review after a year of wear to see if theses bras have a long term effect (in good or bad), or if they are just good bras. -
I actually don't notice it much with the bra -- it doesn't feel at all restrictive and it doesn't limit my range of motion. If anything, the strap position and armhole are MORE comfortable than any of my other bras. The mini-vest that is recommended to be worn with the bra is a different story though, but I usually wear the bra without anyway :)

helpfulI have to comment because I find it interesting
When MilkAndHoney showed her Tutti Rouge Betty Bra (TU103) it seems her boobs were too flattened in the bra and so it did nothing for her even if it did fit. This bra on you does like the completely reversed; it fits but the boobs are slightly too far away from the chest wall to look natural. It looks a little like you would wear the Bravissimo Dotty Spot Bra (AU08) So everything depends on taste.
There is no green skin here
And even if it were I wouldn't think you reminds even the slightest of a hulk Not even this one, even if at least hir is a French http://testdb.msmagazine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/feministhulklarge.jpg The angle and front pics are great! It's only the profile pic that makes it look a little Dotty Spot. But pointy does also have it's place and fashion
Why not keep it as a special occasions bra? And you could have both a Dotty Spot Szykus and another less Dotty Spotty Szykus
But yes, I'm also interested in knowing if the wires might be wider in 75C, somehow I doubt it though ;/Updated on July 26, 2013 Flag this

Yes, exact opposite as the tutti rouge !
I will try my clothes and see if something can look good with this "dotty spot" shape !
if yes, I will be the moulded round shape rebel ! (I like it :) )

helpfulI want to see that bra on you in a 32DD This one looks good on you I just think you could maybe go up a cup from the on top pictures. You look almost overfilling the cup on top but then when you look at the front view it looks totally different. Is it too tight on the top of the cup?

It is not too tight on the top of the cups (no quadraboob), but there is defnitely something weird here. The curve of my breasts don't continue the curve of the bra, my breast's curve is a lot more vertical I am more and more thinking I have super tall boobs, with a sort of vertical full on top thing, even if my breasts looks more full on bottom (read "round on bottom").
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HkeNk6keksQ/UfOTLM1YjMI/AAAAAAAAAtU/HJOQkIWYdE8/s1600/expl.jpg
In the drawing, the green line is my breast, the pink in the "ideal" shape for the bra, and the orange curve in my muscle that add an over curve.
It sound very strange, but I don't feel I overfill the cups them self, but I overfill the "ideal" shape, where is no cup anymore.
I also made a supposition of me in a 32DD, but since I have not tryed it, I only can suppose. I already have 2 effuniak bras in 32DD, so I have supposed based on how theses 3 bras fits me.What do you think ?
-
If it doesn't feel too tight on the top of the cup or quad boob than that is good. I like the drawing of the 32DD because there is no cutting into tissue. Or maybe what I mean is it looks more conformed with your muscle.
-
Galactica I've thought about the pecs thing as something that in a lot of times will give the same effect as full on top. The need for open top bras, the stubbornness and the total incompatiblity with plunges. I think since we look kind of identical with flexed pecs we both do have tall roots. And tall roots needs open top bras. And very little interfering with the top in general. Also shallow boobs cannot be forced in one direction or another. They pretty much sit where they are and can only be reshaped inside a bra by how the bra is made. Like pushup bras :)
Something like that? :)
-
I agree the 32DD drawing is better for the shape on top. But I am afraid in real life it will end up too big and empty somewhere.
The ideal would be this volume with a top more open, and wire just 5mm wider. Urg... I am frustrated....
Don't you know a way to loosen/stretch the top of a light padded bra ? -
I wouldn't worry about it. It does look good. As long as you don't get marks from wearing it where the top of the cups go, then I'd say it's good. And also if you feel good support when you are wearing it.

helpfulI think it looks good on you and I think you should keep it!

What you explain in the first paragraph is so true for me too ! It is the "hulk" feeling !
I will try the bra with all my clothes, and see if it looks good or not. Good advice ( I have only tried the bra with the t-shirt I worn yesterday, and totally forget I have over clothes !).
ps : I think the padded 3D with a full band is totally like a PL, but with wires a size wider, and projection a size/a half size smaller, with the same cup perimeter. exemple : the 3d 32D have exact same wires as PL 32DD, with projection of a 32C-D.
I think for me, for a "perfect 3d" I should have wires of a 32E and projection of 32C, with the top of the cup more vertical.
padded 3D with a partial band have wire that distord, so they are "wider".
