Bra fitting help » Breeze Longline Padded Balconnet (9025) Go Up a Cup Size?
Cleo » Breeze Longline Padded Balconnet (9025) » 28E 28:6
This is a 28E longline. I ordered this bra in 28E because I read some reviews saying it ran large. I just got this today and I think I may need to exchange the 28E for a 28F but maybe someone can look at the pics and let me know what you think. I think the cups fit me better than the Marcie, but still not sure if I should go up to 28F.
Thanks

helpfulIMO, yes I'd size up. It looks too small. You're getting quadboob.
It is a very pretty bra on you though!

Just as evetybody already said - it looks beautiful on you. ☺ That white gives a really nice contrast to your skin.
I would also take the 28F in your case.
If you want to exchange or sell this 28E just let me know. Its my size.
If the breeze is too hard to get in 28F you can as well buy the sister size 36D and shorten the band. (You need a good sewing machine or someone to do this for you.) -
I was looking at that same bra - it looks soo pretty! Hope you are happy with the new size.

helpfulIn what way is it better than the marcie? I was actually wondering if it was too closed on top for you.
I tell you, it looks so beautiful - makes me so sad I'll never fit one

I thought that maybe the cup fits better, but I think it may just the different style that is making me think this. Bra fitting is a big headache for me!

It took a long time to find what fit - and then I gained weight! I feel your pain!

I had the same thought. I'm full on top, so I have that problem a lot. You did mention in your post that it cuts into the tissue at the side of your breasts, too, though, so I think it's worth trying the larger size. You should measure your laying breast perimeter so you can see if the cup depth matches it.

CaitlinRenee Is this a recommended thing (re: breast perimeter = depth)? I ask because I have definite issues sometimes around cup size, even though I've mostly found that 32FF/30G (UK, natch) works well.
-
It's a good starting place at the very least. If there's a big difference (more than an inch or so) between your perimeter and the bra, and you're having fit issues, it may be the wrong size. As I alluded to above, though, your breast shape can make a huge difference in whether something fits you or not. I have narrow roots, very little side fullness, and full on top breasts, and bras would fit me very differently from someone who had wide roots and full on bottom breasts, even if our laying perimeter was the same. Hope that helps (even though I'm pretty sure it just complicates things lol).

helpfulDid you have any luck with the 28F? I might've peeked on the other sizes of this bra hoping to see your success.

helpfulYes, try 28F! You might even want to try a 28FF, as the 28E clearly looks *a lot* too small.

Yes, it's already on its way back and the 28F should be here sometime Friday. Keeping my fingers cross it will be the one.
