Bra fitting help » Correct Fit?
Curvy Kate » Tropics Balcony Bra (CK5901) » 34G 34:9
Issue resolved
Returned this due to straps holding up most of the weight.
Original problem
I'm unsure if this is the correct fit. The straps are father apart than the Ellace which is more comfortable and I think a more true to size 34G. (I'm wearing this around the house today to check out how it feels) However, I do notice that in the front while wearing a t-shirt there is an obvious (well at least to me!) unevenness. Not sure what to do about that!

helpfulOkay after wearing for awhile I've discovered that the straps are supporting too much breast weight and leaving indentions on my shoulders and the material is a little itchy. The straps seem to be okay in terms of not rubbing against my underarm, but I am making a lot of adjustments when I'm moving around. So I think another style is a good idea. Oh yes, my "cookie" made the asymmetry much better.

That sucks that the straps are doing the majority of the heavy lifting because the bra gives you an AMAZING shape IMO!

I actually did get a great fit in Elomi except the ones I tried were a bit itchy in the fabric, so I’ll keep hunting. 34G in them too?
Also it’s a bit of a challenge to get used to the new, and proper fit of bra. :-)

I think so. In my size I wear the same size in both, more or less. I'm not sure how the fit changes scaled down a bit.

helpfulPardon my stupid questions, but... did you try just loosening the straps a good inch, re-scooping and swooping, getting situated with cookie and positioning the wires in IMF, and reassessing? A too-loose band would be a typical reason for the straps supporting too much of the weight but this band doesn't seem crazy loose for your measurements. The only other reason I can think of is that if the straps are too-wide set and you are forced to slant them inwards even a tiny bit, this causes uncomfortable shoulder pressure on some people (including me, I have sensitive shoulders). Your photos do not show the shoulderline from the front so I can't tell if that is a factor though.

helpfulPicture number 2 looks like the cup is too small...or maybe the breast just needs repositioning? Maybe it's just the style is not right for your shape.

Since you can wear average width wires and stretch lace seems to be good for you, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest Elomi. The straps are much better quality, set closer together, and the fabrics are all really soft and comfortable. I suggest their plunge bras (Maya, Lottie, Jodi, Jenna), and Tia, which will be slightly higher coverage. You can definitely start with this size.
I love my Vegas bra but I also switched the straps with Elomi straps after a while because CK uses terrible strap material.
