Bra fitting help » Slight gaping/wrinkling at top of cup
Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) » 30FF 30:8
Issue resolved
Bra needed to be moved further up my torso, after that the gaping was minimal and the band felt very snug. I still like the fit okay, so I'm going to stick with it for a while.
Original problem
I thought this bra was my perfect fit, but I've noticed there's a slight gaping/wrinkling at the top of the cup, it's a little hard to see in the pictures, sorry. I'm very FoB, so it's possible this is just not the right bra for me.
I'm also not sure if I could be in the 28 band, maybe with an extender? It rides up a little bit, but it already feels tight enough (I can fit two fingers but not more) so I don't know if I want to size down.
Thanks!

Before I even read your concerns I noticed that the bra is sitting too low on you. You have at least one finger worth of empty space near the wires at the bottom of the cup.
Is the bottom too shallow for you or you didn't pull the bra in place properly?The fit may very well change after you adjust the bra, wires should sit directly in the crease of your breast.
The gapping here isn't enough to justify a cup down, but that may change after you adjust.Besides, you will rarelly get the prrfect fit if there isn't any stretch lace involved.

helpfulVee gives really sound advice. If pulling up the bra increased the gaping and made it feel tighter, I would go down to a 30F with an extender until you need to go to the hooks.

After adjusting the straps and moving the bra up overall, the gaping was very minimal, so I'll probably let it go for now since it felt very comfortable even after wearing it for most of the day.
Thank you though!

Yikes, I have been wearing my bras too low, which explains a lot.
I tightened the straps and pulled it up quite a bit so it sits right in the crease. There's some very light wrinkling, but I can barely fit a whole finger in there. I might do one of the alteration tutorials if I want to wear tight clothing, but I'll probably stick with this size, as I hear the 28" bands in Cleo are super tight and this one is already pretty tight as is.
I'll try to post a picture later, I just wanted to get a second opinion.
Thanks!
