Bra fitting help » Gore doesn't tack but the cups and band fit ok?
Freya » Deco Shape Moulded Strapless Longline Bra (1462) » 28FF 28:8
Issue resolved
It seems it was a shape issue. Thanks for the help!
Original problem
As the title says, the gore of this bra doesn't tack but the band is really firm (loosest hook) and the cups fit (a little big, even). Is this a shape issue? What can I do about it?

Shape issue for sure since there's too much volume but the gore isn't tacking. They haven't really perfected this style in my opinion.

helpfulHow loose are the straps? Try tightening them if they're very loose. It looks like maybe the cups are kind of leaning out because the straps aren't holding them up enough.

They're pretty tight, I moved them in to the more inside location because they're adjustable, and it seems a bit better, but the gore still doesn't quite tack. When strapless, the cups come away even more, but I probably won't ever wear it strapless anyway.

Huh. That's weird. A lot of people seem to have fit issues with this bra. I'd be curious to see how making the straps racerback affects this? Would that make it better or worse? If better, that probably means the straps are too wide for your frame. If worse, it'd be pulling the cups together and pushing the gore out more.

I have this problem as well in my Deco 30F and I thought the cups weren't big enough so I ordered an FF, but nope, the problem persists. It might actually be that the gore is slightly too wide for close-set breasts, at least that's my current theory. But, yeah. It looks like it fits just fine, to me. The gore doesn't have to tack completely to be a good fit, imo.

helpfulI would try a cup size down if I were you. It looks a bit too big to me. Also, Deco really does have a wide center gore, but smaller cup sizes have lower gores. You could try your luck with a smaller cup size.

Yeah, something about the shape is weird because I actually fill the cups almost completely, but the gore just won't tack.
