Fayreform » Coral Underwire Bra (F75-8030) » 38C 38:3
Issue resolved
Although this is a pretty bra with all your help i know that this bra is miss matched to my shape. Thank you all for your help
Original problem
I am a 16C but this bra seems to be on the small side in the cups. Should i go up a cup size in the same band

How does the wire on the side feel? It looks like maybe it's a bit too narrow or low?

Maybe what you should do is try a sister size up then, 40B. The wire will be wider and the band won't feel so tight.

With the gore floating, I'd say you should definitely go up a cup size, but I suspect you might start to get gaping at the top of the cup in this particular bra. Have you tried fastening the band backwards and seeing if it still feels too tight? I am wondering if the cups are smaller than the fit indicates and distorting the band fit. I think this is a case of small cups and a serious shape mismatch - you would probably benefit from wide wires and a shallow cup profile. Fayreform's wires are on the narrow side. You might want to try Pour Moi or a padded Lepel Fiore Plunge (93200) .

Thank you so much for your help. I agree with you and as i suspected the cups are to small.

The fit does not look bad here, I think the problem is more likely to be due to a shape/construction issue. You will probably feel more comfortable in a design that offers more support on the sides and possibly also a taller cup that provides more coverage on the upper pole of the breast.

It does feel a little low and also narrow. Thats why i thought if i went up a cup size it would help. As the band is tight i really didnt want to go down a band size.
