Bra fitting help » Bra fits weird, sizing off?
Curvy Kate » Daily Boost Balcony Bra (CK1801) » 34F 34:7
Issue resolved
I went up 2 cup sizes.
Original problem
It gives me quadro-boob, but my boobs dont seem to fill to the end. I also seem to have a weird "overhang" or lack of support on side.
I've been wearing the wrong size bra forever and measured myself and decided to start at one recommendation. This bra is a 34G Curvy Kate. I dont know where to go from here. I currently live in Japan and dont have the option of going into a specialty store to ask questions or request help and am in desperate need of some assistance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you swoop and scoop? I would say that this bra (it's a 34G, right?) is too small and the apex of the cup does not match up with the apex of your breast. If I remember correctly, this model of bra is notoriously awkward to fit. I agree with Blur, it would be very helpful to have an underbust and bust measurement, and what shapes you consider your breasts to be . Once we figure out sizing and shapes, I would be happy to recommend bras to try

It's a little confusing when the text says that the size is 34G and and the bra is registered as a 34F (UK). It's an easy mistake to make, especially since 34F in UK sizing is often called 34G in US sizing. I think you will get better answers if you double check the size. Looking at the measurements, I'm guessing it's actually a 34G in UK. If the label is confusing you can always post a pic of it. It would really help to have your own measurements too, particularly ribcage and horizontal breast perimeter.
I don't feel that I'm able to comment about the fit, just trying to save you some time.

Yeah; cups are definitely too small so they're not filled out because they just don't line up with your boobs
Also, the gore is cutting into your tissue, which says the cups are too small. That may also make the band feel shorter, so once you do get your correct size (measurements?), you'll also probably want to size down at least once in the band, maybe 2 sizes depending on your measurements.Updated on January 27, 2014 Flag this

Actually, just stick your measurements into http://www.sizemapp.com/en/
Do you have a bust measurement, over the largest part of your bust?
