Bra fitting help » How many sizes too small? Style issue?
Bravissimo » Paradiso Plume Bra (LN141) » 32J 32:13
Issue resolved
I was advised to go up in band size and/or try some different styles, like the Alana (which is very cute, I must try it soon!), and the Tango. Thanks for the help!
Original problem
Gore doesn't tack, I get spillage. Underwires dig in under my boobs. When I press the gore to my sternum, my boobs get extra spilly. I love this bra, but to the best of my knowledge, I can only go up one or maybe two more sizes. Is it worth spending money on a different size?

I'm having a hard time seeing the details of the clasp area. It looks like the hooks are being pulled pretty aggressively - maybe that's the lighting? - and you said the underwires are really digging in, which I'd pin on a too-small band. (Your measurements say your ribcage is over an inch larger than the stretched band of the bra.) You could get the 34J, which would loosen up the band for you, and give you more cup space, which would help ease that tight lace cutting in.

Yes, there's a homemade extender there. I'm afraid I can't get any better lighting anywhere.

34 J or 36 J. Since your ribcage is almost 36 that might be a good band size to try. And Jillsas I agree with her that maybe a style with more room on top might be better. http://www.bratabase.com/search/advanced/?ribcage=36.6&breast_perimeter=16.5&stretched_band_length=0.0&band_length=0.0&cup_width=0.0&cup_depth=0.0&wire_length=0.0&gore_height=0.0&wing_height=0.0&cup_separation=0.0&strap_width=0.0&hooks=3&units=1&size=&brand=&search=Advanced+Search. Those have 3 hooks. This one has 2: http://www.bratabase.com/browse/panache/tango-luxe-6721/36G/

This looks pretty bad for your shape. That being said, it looks too shallow on top of being too small (in the band and the cup). If you really love this bra, I'd try it in 34J. I'd try to find super supportive designs that work well for soft breasts, like the Alana instead and the Tango (if you're full on bottom).

I thought the same thing - and was going to say pretty much the same thing - but it looked to me like she has an extender on it?
Maybe that's just me? It is kinda hard to tell.
Ohp, silly me, it doesn't go up to a JJ! Lol.
