Bra fitting help » One or two cups up?
Parfait By Affinitas » Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) » 28FF 28:8
Issue resolved
I excahged it for a G-cup and have high hopes!
Original problem
I recived this gorgeous bra today, and it really feels like the shape is absolutely spot on. My only problem is the massive quad-boob that even occur on my smaller breast. I'm now in a big-boob-period, I think, or maybe they have grown like half a cup size (not sure which). I think I will keep this bra for a few days and see if it fits better.
Even if they shrink a bit, I'm sure this cup size will be too small, and I will exchange it for a 28G.
If they have actually grown to this size, do you think I should go up one or two sizes?
I will eventually take it in like an inch, because my ribcage is 58 cm and once the bra has been broken in, the band will surely be too large. I know it looks tight on the pictures, but I have quite squishy tissue there and could easily fit my hand underneath.
(I have lost my measurement band and therefore filled in the measurements given by bratabase about this bra)
Thanks a million times in advance!

helpfulIf the Curvy Kate Emily 28F you have on your profile currently fits, I would say that as it has 1" deeper cups, you need at least a 28G.
(http://www.bratabase.com/compare/dhupq/)From years of ill fitting bras, I personally found that I am still underestimating my size and try to cram my breasts into bras that are too small, or don't adjust/scoop fully because they are still too small.
If possible, order a 28G and 28GG. The issues I could foresee with the 28GG: cups too wide, cups too tall (gore and wing).

helpfulI am not an expert by far, but when I looked at your horizontal perimeter and I looked at the cup depth and the cup width, I am thinking that it might help you if you bought the bra in two cup sizes higher. Like I said, I am not an expert. Have you been able to find the measurements for this bra in a 28g and in a 28h (I don't remember if Parfait uses UK or US sizing). I hope that I was able to help you a little.
Oh and yeah I see the Christmas Tree, I would have never noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it.

The Emily has always been a little little little too small, but now it is way too small. I thought I'd Gore back into it, but this period seems to have gone on for a lot longer than usual.
I am also afraid that the gore in GG might be too high.
