  The Tease Me is terribly open on top, and shallow on bottom, so all the boob tissue is squished upwards. It's like a triangle shape basically.
  I have shallow boobs too and it didn't work for me either. There were nip slips although it technically 'fit' by the criteria of Bratabase.

  You could try to make it more closed on top; I've seen people do this by taking in the ribbon on top of the cups (fold it in at the sides and sew it to make it shorter, this will make the top stick closer to your boobs), or by sewing an elastic band underneath.

  Probably the Thrill Me will be a better fit. I didn't have the chance to try it out myself, but several people say that it runs more closed on top and a little less shallow on bottom.

  I found this compare review of a Bratabase user very helpful: http://www.bratabase.com/compare/dhlde/ .
  This article on Bratabase blog focuses on the fit differences as well, and explains how the cuts have changed over the years. It's important to know that the different Thrill Me colors fit differently in terms of shallowness, height of the cups etc. http://www.bratabase.com/blog/2012/mar/15/thrill-me-tease-me-explain-me-183/

  • Thanks for all those links! Yep, I don't think the Tease Me will work for me. I'll have to try the Thrill Me.

  I think the big problem here is that the band will be much too big for you- in fact with a 27" ribcage your gonna struggle getting any band from the showgirl range to be small enough for you, they're just all so stretchy and run big. The thing is, it's really hard to get a decent fit on the cups when there is such a discrepancy with the band size (as there is here), so unless you can get hold of a 28 FF (which is the sister size) just to try to see if the cup shape is better with the firmer band (tho I think a 28 would still be too big), you might just have to give up on showgirl bras.

  Also the thrill me is even shallower than the tease me so I wouldn't recommend trying that if these cups are to shallow for you.

  Can you wear it up any higher or is the cup too shallow in the bottom to do that?

  I've had many showgirl half cups and they all failed on an epic level on me.

  I have to go up 2 cup sizes and down one band size in the Thrill Me, and I think it's very similar in fit to the Tease Me. Is 32E your usual size?

  • I don't know my CK size at all. I can fit into 28F/FF Freyas or 30E/F Freyas decently. I've yet to find my *perfect* bra.

    I suggest trying a 28G in the Tease Me or Thrill Me.

    I think going up a cup size will just increase the gaping :(
    It's just too open on top.
    I don't think this is a size issue; it just doesn't work with certain boob shapes.

  • i think youre right..it doesnt work.wih my shape.
