Bra fitting help » Does this bra ALMOST work for me?
Curvy Kate » Gia Balcony Bra (CK2101) » 30FF 30:8
Issue resolved
Too small in the wrong places!
Original problem
I know it doesn't fit, but NONE of my bras fit, so I'm trying to see what works and what doesn't so that I can do a better job of picking bras that fit in the future.

helpfulNo, not even almost. It's got good depth but wires are too wide for you, and it's cut too tight near the gore--it does not accommodate your close-set, projected shape or center fullness, and doesn't work with your root height. If you size up any more you'll be floating in it, but at this size it still doesn't give enough room where you need it.

You could try. However, CK does put out a huge number of bras and several are aesthetically quite similar to the Gia, so it could be easier to just try their offerings until you find one that is a better match for your shape.

I don't have much experience with bras, but I bought the Curvy Kate Gia in China Blue in a size 32 e. And some of the same fit issues that you have, I encountered as well. Like you I have broad shoulders and I have projected breasts.
I noticed that a lot of the same wrinkling that you had in your size, I had in my size as well (though I am thinking that the bra is slightly too large for me overall, because it wrinkles right around the nipple area and by the straps).
I just want to suggest that you try the Curvy Kate Romance bra, but you will probably still have problems with wrinkling (it still wrinkles for me). And I want to add that for me the best bra that I have is the Panache Floris Bra.

Both the Romance and the Gia had insufficient depth at the center for me, but the Romance was not as bad as the Gia.
That's a bummer. :( I love this style and pattern and ESPECIALLY the bling at the gore - I love sparkly stuff. :P Think it might be possible to mess with the wires enough to give an acceptable fit, or should I just cut my losses and throw in the towel on this one?
