Bra fitting help » Lack of space at the bottom and center
Freya » Faye Balcony Bra (4202) » 30H 30:11
Issue resolved
I think Freya is just not for me. I am looking at bras with more immediate projectioné
Original problem
This bra clearly does not fit. It is overall too big, but I am still in desperate need for a bra that fits! I have a 30H Bravissimo Alana that is almost too small, and this one is too large. The main issues with this fit is empty fabric at the bottom and the gore that does not tack. There is not enough room for my center fullness (same problem with Alana).
As this is not only a size issue, I am looking for advices on what kind of bras to try and which sizes.
Do you know a bra that has romm at the wire (both at the bottom and the center) and that do not have super long and hard wires like Panache?
p.s. I am a little scared of trying Polish brands.

For an FOB and FOI shape with immediate projection, maybe try the Cleo Lily and the Cleo Hettie? I would have recommended the Cleo Lucy except it's not the best for close together spaced types. Freya Arabella/Ooh La La/Siren/Vixen might also be good to try but I'm not sure how FOB and immediately projected it is in your size range.
I understand your concerns about Polish brand bras, but EM really does have great bras for people in the GG+/H+ size range in regards to level of projection, especially immediate projection. EM is also known for having multiple styles that cater to FOI shapes.

FOI and FOO work similarly to FOT and FOB. If your shape is FOI, you probably have relatively more projection towards the gore sides of your breasts. If your shape is FOO, you would have more projection towards the wing sides of your breasts. A common problem FOI shaped people face is that many bras don't have enough room in the cups at the gore sides.

Was this bra used? Freya should be ashamed of themselves if they are selling brand new 30 bands that are as big as a 34-36 band when unstretched!
I would suggest a search by measurements with a cup depth of about 11.5", wire width no more than 5.6" and wire length 10.8" or less. Then narrow by reading reviews and looking at pics.Updated on September 19, 2016 Flag this

Yes this bra is used. However it does not look streched. The band is in good condition and there is no pilling.
-
It's still totally abnormal for a 30 to measure that big unstretched. Freya has a bad rep in terms of bands though

helpfulTry Lepel fiore plunge. Or Fauve or Charnos.
Cups run big in these brands. I have a similar shape to yours with smaller cup size and the same Panacheproblems.
Check out my bras.

I don't know if Charnos have changed its bra constructions recently... You are the second person to suggest this brand fot its wire comfort. I bought Charnos Sienna last month and it was real bad. I bought a 30H, which is my average size for most brands, and this one felt like a 26K. And the wires were super long and hard.
Unfortunately Lepel Fiore plunge does not make more than G cups. -
Mmmm ... I am sorry I did not think about the cup problem (size) concerning the lepel.
I have only half cup charnos bras i.e. Carmen and Rosalind. I swear both are really confy and not too expensive.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I got the concept, but what does FOI exactly stand for? I never heard of this acromyn.
From Cleo I only tried Marcie (I tought I was FOT at first) and it did not fit at all. Wires too hard, straps too fat apart, gaping in the cups... I'll do a little more research fot Hettie. It is gorgeous plus it has stretch lace, which I like.
