Bra fitting help » To adjust or not to adjust? How?
Tutti Rouge » Fifi Bra (TU105) » 28F 28:7
Issue resolved
I kept both bras i will adjust them
Original problem
I have a common issue with bras because I am full on sides but have no center fullness. I have a huge gaping in this bra in the center, but it fits perfectly on the sides. Smaller size (28E) is too narrow and the underwire cuts in my bigger breast on the left side (but there's no gaping). I can not add the photos of it here, but they are visible on the page of the bra (I am currently the only one owning 28E and F). I can sew the center part of the cup to the central gore (it already works well with my Tutti Rouge's 28FF Betty bra because 28F was too narrow) or somehow adjust 28E, or return both. The bra is beautiful and I like the red one (which happened to be 28E) more. It would be a pity to return it, but both are unwearable at their current state. Need your advice.

helpfulIf you can make it wearable and you love it, why not?

helpfulHmmm...given all the issues you noted do you really want to try to fix them? Sewing the cups down may fix the cup height but what about the straps being too wide? Have you tried any of the Polish bras? Looks like wire and gore width are not working in this style of bra. I hope you find a workable solution. It's so frustrating when bras are not fitting properly.

I am totally in love with Tutti Rouge Liliana which is a perfect fit, so I decided to explore this brand. I am having this issues in nearly all Balconette bras and it might be just the wrong style for me. But I like how it looks. However, this is not the worst fit I had.
I fear polish bras will be too narrow like many other brands :(( And they are harder to get. Maybe you know a good place to purchase from? -
Did you check here for any in your size in the for sale area - it's a cheaper way to get a hold of one to "test". Another good place is trying Facebook for buy & sell of bras.
-
My size seems to be very unpopular. Nothing here :((
-
I found this from Ewa...it may not be your exact size but you an at least try? The seller is active here on Bratabase too so she may be willing to help you out with sizing, etc.

It looks so ugly to me... terrible color. According to the measurments of the bras that fit me, I need the cup to be at least 13,5 cm (around 5,5 inches) wide. But this one is just 12,9 cm. I don't think this is a good choice.
-
I find that Ewa's bras just fit differently...are you wide rooted? Her cups are deeper at the wire so that allows more swoop and scoop and push forward with breast tissue.
Colors are going to be slim pickings in the "used" area - everyone seems to hold onto their Polish bras :)
-
I like the apperance of many Ewa bras, but definately not this one...
I am very wide rooted for my size, it seems. It is hard to find a bra that would be wide enough. I also had a problem with lymph gland in my left armpit when I did not know about the right fit, because of narrow wires (and sizes like 32D that lied exactly on my breast tissue).
And I don't really like when breasts are pushed forward, it gives me ugly shape under the clothes. -
Ah okay! Polish may not be for you then. Wish you the best in the hunt for the perfect bra!
-
thank you!

helpfulThere are a couple of options. You can definitely sew the cups to the gore. I've done that and it works well. Another is you can bend the wires of the smaller bra wider, especially if you only need a few more centimeters on one side. If you want to go with a sure thing as you can easily pinch the fabric there to get a good fit I would return the smaller bra.
It really is a pretty bra, I can see why you want to keep it.

Thank you! I never tried bending the wires. But I like the red bra a lot! Is it very hard?

It should be fairly easy to bend those wires unless they are really firm. I do it with my hands.
-
I tried it. They bend! I didn't get what I need yet, but I will try more.

helpfulAre you positive that it's a lack of center fullness as opposed to simply a wider separation between the breasts? I can't really tell in this bra.

I never have cleavage :))) In balconette if the outer side of the bra isOK, then the inner side is too big, or the opposite. If the inner side is OK, the outer is too small, quads or cuts in. Plunge bra is more of my type :((
I think there is half an inch between my breasts, no more.

Keep both? Or just one?
