Fantasie » Smoothing Moulded Balcony Bra (4520) » 38F 38:7
Issue resolved
Tried a 34 G- better but a bit quad boob
Original problem
Bra wrinkles at top and band rides up. I believe this bra in different size might work. Suggested size?

helpfulYou'd probably feel best in a 34 band. A 34G would be the sister size of this. I would try that to see how it fits, and a 34FF, if you have access to them in person. With the cost of online returns, hopefully someone else will be able to give more direction if you have to go that route

Nordstrom carries big bras. Otherwise I've only seen small boutiques carrying anything above A-DD.

helpfulIt looks to me like the band is a couple of sizes too big and the cup is at least one size too big. I think I would try going down two band sizes and one cup sizes, which I believe would put you in a 34FF or so.

Also look at the difference between your breast perimeter and the cup depth: our breast perimeter is basically 11.5 and the cup is 13". As suggested, look more for a 34 band in Fantasie (and maybe 32 in Freya). Measure your overbust while standing and leaning over, average the two. Then using 33 as your "band", subtract 33 from that overbust number. Look for a 32 or 34 band with that cup size and see how that works.

I second (or third?) the suggestion of a 34FF or 32G. This shape definitely looks closer to what you need!

helpfulHow old are you? Women over 40 tend to prefer wider bands, often going +2 for bandsize.
A 34 band might work in Fantasie and Freya bc they are stretchier, but be a bit overkill in Panache which runs tighter.
It is something you just got to try.

I'm over 60, but I have found 34 works okay in Panache.

Hi! I have 3 off these bras in nude. I am a 32GG in Curvy Kate and Cleo, but have found this size fits me best in a 32FF. (I do use a bra extender for a tiny bit more room in the band.) I have no idea why the size difference, but it works and looks great & is super comfy. Also, no more wrinkles. Just passing along what I have found out! Cheers!

Thanks for your suggestion. I am not sure I can find anywhere near that carries these bras. I'm pretty much stuck with online ordering.
