Bra fitting help » I'm all UP front and center projection and tired of falling out the middle
Ewa Michalak » S Białemisie Multiway (821) » 85H 38:11
Issue resolved
This is the bra I wear every day even though it falls out of my imf and quads halfway and to my gore, it holds up .
Original problem
It seems I need a bra with a(1) greater immediate projection, (2) an seemingly impossibly narrower wire at least towards the arms(2.1) yet some how closer towards the apex (3) a smaller width between the straps, I do love the shape this gives my boobs lifts them to where they should be. perhaps just a shorter gore would help it's like the entire bra needs less space between my breasts. Im not close set just center full.

You could try Comexim. Their wires are more vertical and their plunges have more room for your breasts to stretch out and plenty of room at the bottom in the larger sizes. The cups also tend to be shorter in these sizes. You might want a size 85N.

I don't know if my comment helps, but is your bra all the way up in your IMF? If looks low to me. We have somewhat similar shapes, but your breast volume is much bigger than mine, and I have found that getting bras with deep cups and tight bands help my bras not move out of my IMF and onto my ribs.
-
That's exactly what the issue is I think my imf is always above where the underwrites lay my breasts are so projected with such insanely narrow roots so high on my chest and the roots seam splayed near the bottom center between the girls but maybe the last part is just a byproduct of the center full Ness either way I apparently must try comexim! But a size 85 N !! ? I'm a bit alarmed but I'd rather be proven dead wrong so I'm up for anything. Even if it's maybe a bra style issue ,love4pollinators, I think if I understood correctly the chp in ewa might be a good thing to try .I haven't heard much on how comexim holds up in heavyweight lifting so I'm a bit standoff-ish. All I know is I need like 3 or 4 bras that fit either equal to or better than this one . OMG I wrote a book!

Follow cupandahalf. She has not only center-full breasts but also heavy breasts that require significant immediate projection. The bras she wears are a safe bet for you, too. :-)

Yup my best fitting bras were Comexim 90Ms until I grew out of them *sob*. I got great lift, shape, and comfort. I would order a Basic from Breakout Bras until you get the right size (free returns). Then you can order from Comexim direct and ask for stronger wires which do help the bra keep its shape.
-
Thanks guys haha an I'm over here all dramatic and stuff like I've reached the end of the line . No where close to it appears.
-
Don't worry it can be frustrating and take a lot of time and money.
-
For what it's worth the N only sounds like such a scary cup because Ewa uses U.K. cups and Comexim uses FR/Belgium cups... one letter per cup rather than allowing double letters. That difference gets really big really fast! :)
-
Yup. A 90M in the basic fit me like a 38J in UK sizes basically. And would be a 40J if translated to U.K. Sizes.
-
Any advise for ordering directly from comexim ? I didn't see size 85 N.
And their fit guide was more confusing than helpful -
Choose the bra you want in a random size, then write the size you need in the comments on the order form. You can also write any changes you need. Use the simplest English you can.

How does the band feel? Measurements are suggesting it may be too loose which can lead to too wide straps plus other wire issues. Is the stretched band measurement of 38 distorting the wires at all? It is hard to tell from the back photo if the hooks are snug or not.

The band is the one thing I definitely feel is perfect , at first I wasn't used to the correct band so I thought it was too tight but now I love it and double checking the wires they don't seem effected at all until my breast tissue settles through the day.
-
Hmmmm...well the wire does need to be pulled taught but not distorting when it's on. That flex helps with holding the weight of the breast tissue. With the 36 comfy and the 38 stretched it may just be slightly big enough to not give that taught and snug pull on the wires that keeps the breast tissue in place longer. Maybe try Comexim? They are more center full friendly overall.

Thanks again!

Ewa Michalak bras do have fairly wide-set straps... Petite/super small band women often have a problem with this due to their small frame. However... Unless I'm completely misinterpreting your measurements, I'm getting the sense that you, on the contrary, are either tall generally or have a tall torso, and that you have a very nice shoulder width. So the fact the straps sit so wide on you to is unexpected. To me this suggests that fabulouslyfullfigure is right and you could benefit from sister sizing to a SMALLER band (80). Right now I think the cup is borderline too small overall and definitely too shallow at the apex, but these issues are going to be greatly aggravated in a slightly too-large band, which allows the front of the bra to slide down, the gore to tilt out away from your body, and the breasts to fold over onto themselves inside the cups since the wires will not stay high enough on your torso. Even if you think this sounds nuts, just try it and see--I am guessing it will make a difference.

Okay I was under the same general ideology or however I should correctly phrase it that the only conclusion I had come to is that my band is not tight enough but upon some testing I found it to be an impossiblefeat to tighten it inow any way.
-
If my band were to do as it pleases I would sit around 36 and I feel like I'm about to be an outsider who's the owner of a semi large to medium band with a extremely projected and narrow width c razyness that is uncomprehensable for everyone! ? Wow I'm getting dramatic .!......
What time of month is it ?......?, -
You're not the only one sister. It's a tough club to be in though. Another option for you is Curvy Kate.
-
Okay thanks !
-
Avoid CK Victory, Daily Dream, Portia, and Dreamcatcher though. They are too wide and shallow as they scale up.
-
On the contrary it's not incomprehensible to need a proportionally narrower wire than what manufacturers tend to propose... unfortunately it's kind of the norm in your size range and these are the folks we see the most on Bratabase in this range because they need to search a good while to find a bra that is compatible with their anatomy.
-
Hmm well wearing this today, I tried in a dark hidden ally to push it up where it should be and it wouldn't stay so perhaps a band adjustment but as I started to walk away from my alleyway readjustment I noticed my armpits also pushing the wires down! Now I'm thinking I should just go with longer wires and let um go under my armpits until I can tie um together behind melol
-
OMG I have tried to explain that armpits can push down wires!!! It's real. Immediate production is not the only reason a bra can slide down.

https://brasticmeasures.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/fit-issues-center-heaviness-is-a-dominant-shape-trait/ check this out its an older post tho but it describes about everything wrong with my fit I think and I was hoping someone could give some updated info idk it makes so much sense that my center full Ness causes the gore to push down against my rib and push the wires back into my armpits and my armpits push them down and out so it doesn't sit in my imf
-
Im ready to get a Hans solo style cast of my bust and wear that around
-
YASSS!
-
I don't think I've seen Hans solo style bras lol
-
Wait yasss to what?
-
Yass to science? I would love a soft breastplate taken from a cast of my body.
-
Also the centerfull rocking wires is totally real and I certainly experience it. Lower gores have helped a lot for me.
-
If I were to try ck would a 36 h be reasonable or ?I never know where to start with different brands.
-
I would start with 36HH and go from there.

Additionally, you can request the straps be moved in which is helpful to many of us. And, they will overlap the wires at the top of the gore. They will happily and for no charge alter almost every part of the bra. Amazing customization!!
It does look like you have more center projection than this cut allows. Ewa Michalak CHP has more center projection; providing your breasts are not close to enter at the base.The S is both less center and immediately projected than the CHP.
When you find a bra with enough space for your center fullness, your ribs will feel better. It is your center fullness pushing down that causes the wires to dig into ribs. It can really hurt!
