Bra fitting help » cup too small?
Fauve » Lavinia Half Cup Bra (0391) » 32D 32:4
Issue resolved
32E for nursing-times concerning that bra. I wont wear it when my size is smaller. Have to change to Charnos bras then.
Original problem
I don't know if I should send this bra back. I would be interested in your personal opinion whether I should take it in 30E or 30DD.
The cups of 32D do not seem big enough to me especially at the sides. I love this Lavinia and I had it as a nursing bra in 32E. That one is too big for me now. I wish I could afford it in all sizes but as I have to decide: What do you think?

helpfulIt seems like a shape mismatch. In photo #1 I see gapping at the top edge of the right cup. If you feel that the cups are too short and too narrow for your broad rooted shape then you are right.

If you went down 1 cup volume it might not gap, but the short cups and narrow wires would remain a problem.
Btw, 30DD has the *same* cup volume as 32D. They're called sister sizes. Here's a chart: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2a/99/e0/2a99e08bbab49ddf3dd83dce3222bfd2.jpg

helpfulBreast shape changes when you are in the early months of nursing and that is probably why this cup shape worked for you then, but not now. Your usual (not nursing) breast shape seems to be very full on the sides and only average fullness at the center whereas these cups have more room at the center. The 32E was probably big enough to contain your side tissue and your formerly fuller-at-center nursing boobs, but the smaller cup size is not adequate for your side tissue while still being bigger than you need at the center. I don't think this is something you can resolve by sizing up or down... sorry!

I think you are probably right. So I'll have to send it back (and the Emanuelle/Fauve/32D as well). Thanks for the advice. So now I know I'll buy those big Lavinias only for my next pregnancies.

That's right.But do you think another size would change that?
Or would the cups gap more if I choose 30DD instead?
