Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) » 32F 32:7
Issue resolved
Could not pull up much higher and after wearing for ten minutes had bad marks at gore. Have sent it back
Original problem
I have bought 36C bras for years and after measuring and researching, this is my first attempt trying on 30F/G bras. I have recently lost a lot of weight due to illness so I should weigh about 5kilos more soon. This bra does wrinkle slightly at the top but I expect more fullness soon after weight gain. I am very unsure about my breast shape and whether this is a good fit. After seeing other before and after pics, I was hoping for more lift in this style but maybe I just have shallow breasts? The band feels tighter than I am used to but the underwires are comfortable/ no digging. How does this bra look? Is it a good fit?

You do not have shallow breasts
Can you pull the underwires of this bra up any higher into your IMF (http://i.imgur.com/LrXugqr.jpg)? They actually look a bit low. I also think you are FOB, and this bra is FOT friendly with that upper lace section. I have the same problem in stretch lace bras - I simply cannot fill out the top half. This looks to be the correct volume for you though. I bet you'd get better lift and a more rounded shape with a Cleo Lucy in the same size, or possibly a Lily, as the Lucy's wires might be a touch wide for you. Curvy Kate Bardot might be another option you'd get along well with.Updated on October 28, 2015 Flag this

So, the wires on this look a bit wide for you and the straps look a bit wideset. This is why you're getting some wrinkling at the side of the cup. To me, you look fairly narrow and averagely projected for your size range. If I were you, I'd try this in a 30F and FF to see how the fit differs. The band on this actually (according to your measurements) runs large for a 32, and you'll have less issues with strap placement and wire width in a shorter band (because it will expect the smaller frame that you have). I know it can feel like a shock to go down to a fitting band when you are used to one 7 inches larger than your ribcage, but you will get used to it quickly. Are the underwires pulled all the way into your IMF? Jasmine tends to be pointy on anyone who lacks upper fullness (and I agree with your assessment that you're fuller on bottom). Have you tried Cleo Lily or Lucy?

I think you definitely need a 30 band. Also, this looks like it's sitting very low on you--can you try pulling it up right under your IMF, scooping and swooping again, and seeing what happens? That seems to be why it's not giving you lift.
