Bra fitting help » Is there an Empriente size/style that may fit better?
Empreinte » Elea Full Support (17114) » 30E 30:5
Issue resolved
Need more open cup. Perhaps low neckline styles will fit better.
Original problem
The cup feels small; not quite tall or wide enough. But, the depth is excellent.

Do you have the straps loosened all the way? If not, try it and see if it helps.

OK so that wasn't the problem then. I would say this is just not a good shape for you in Empreinte, it is almost a vintage design in how full-coverage it is. If the cups didn't have that additional material up top and the straps were a little less centered you wouldn't be experiencing so much cutting in. I would recommend that you try any of their "low neck" designs. If you are a lover of round shapes try the Melody or Kaela. If you don't mind a defined apex then any seamed design is worth a try.

ETA I have two other seamed Empreintes in 30E in the full cup design, if you would like to compare measurements other than those normally registered in Bratabase to see if the full cup format might fit you better,we can talk about that. Let me know!
ETA2 sorry I'm an idiot, they are a French 80E which Empreinte considers a UK/US 32E, not 30E. So different size than what you have I think. Sorry!!! Comparing might not be as helpful but I'm still willing to do it if you are interested... -
That may be incredibly helpful!! Thank you for your offer :-)

Sorry see disclaimer above I may have spoken too soon :-/ Still happy to do it though

I think it might be too closed on top for you. This bra is VERY closed on top, and I see a little quadding in the last pic. That might be why it feels small, it's not necessarily too small but the closed top part is pushing you out.

I tried to find the shortest cup; perhaps too short and closed. :-)

We need the same things there :P even those who are FOB still have SOME top fullness they need to allow for. Have you tried many Ewa S and SMs yet? I've had the most success with those, esp S Colette and S Orzechowa Pralinka, which are 2 of the more closed on top S (but not like this!), the Colette being more round and the Pralinka having more of a peak.

I tried to order three E.M.s last night. They displayed a 46 day lead time + shipping. I couldn't finish the order with that amount of wait time. I checked Bra Obsessed and my size is not available in the styles. Joy :-)
-
Usually it's a specific bra that hold the time back... maybe try removing one from your cart and see if the time changes.
-
Yes, eliminating the nude BM diminished the lead time by 21 days :-) I tried last night but eliminated the other two bras instead of the BM. Thanks! :-)

I loosened them, but significant wrinkling appears in the base of the cup...
