  I'd reccomend sizing down, at least one cup size. Gaping at the top is a sign of a too big bra.

  This is definitely not a shape issue as far as we can tell at the moment. If you can order a 36FF and a 36F, I can't tell if it's 1 or 2 cup sizes too big. Other than that, how does the band feel?

  • The band feels firm, but good! It felt like the straps were barely needed, and all the support came from the band.

  • That's good then, so definitely try out those if you can, it will be easier to evaluate the fit since it's so obviously wrong on this one.

  • Thank you, I will do that! Wanted to make sure before I sent it back and tried again.

  What size do you normally wear, and in what brand? I ask because I'm wondering if this is a UK/US size conversion issue. If you normally wear 36G in a brand that uses US sizing, you'll likely need a 36 F in this bra, as they use UK sizing even thought they are based in the US.

  • Yes I did realize this after it came! Unfortunately I've been wearing ill fitting nursing bras for.... forever. So I don't really even have a starting point for fit or shape or anything. I'm a completely different shape, size, fullness... everything since the last time I bought a "real" bra.

  I don't know if this is the case but many times it is. I always check this out before claiming it's too big in the cups because many times it can be resolved by doing this. http://imgur.com/a/aARnL#0

  You should have gotten the Charlotte balconette and I should have gotten the Charlotte plunge, LOL!

  --See fit request below with the Charlotte Balconette - that's mine. The balconette Charlotte isn't not the right shape for me. Drat.
