  So I found your other bra - http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlk8b/ and at least I think this one looks better under the shirt. It looks like you dont completely fill out the bottom of the cup in the F here? But its hard to tell. I think foam cups are not very forgiving. But I'd say your breasts are taller than the bra is - i dont know what the official word for that is - shallow maybe?

  • Thanks for your comment. Sorry, jus to clarify did you mean the F looks better under the tshirt or the E?

    Yes, I thought so, but maybe it was the angle, idk. I'm still struggling with all of this, too, but if something is comfortable and looks ok under a shirt, I'm trying to believe thats good enough - I'm tired of shipping things back and forth!

    I can see that the E cuts in a little, but it looks like it's closer to the volume you need, so it would give better support. As long as it isn't bothering you. Ideally you would probably need a style that is more open at the top of the cup. I would just go for the one that feels more comfortable like dbmamaz says.

  • dbmamaz I'm really sorry that was me, it was a complete accident! I don't know how to undo it. Your comments have been very helpful.

    It was me. I disagree with your statement of foam cups not being forgiving. On the contrary, they are the most forgiving fabric/substance used in a cup because unlike rigid lace and even some stretch lace cups, moulded cups mould to your shape if you fill them out completely. And if you don't, then even a little bit of space or gapping that does not warrant a size change is masked due to what they are made out of. Try this same example of fit above in a lace or unlined cup and you will see the slightest ill-fit through thin tops.

    Well, for me foam cups seem harder to fit. My breasts are very uneven in size and very (very) soft. The foam doesnt conform to my shape at all, and if I cant conform to its shape, its not . . fitting. the one I have is low cut like that and my larger boob spills out the side and my smaller one, the gap is so big you can see it through a shirt.

  • Mine are quite soft as well, so for me they even things out. As i stated, a minor fit issue that does not warrant a cup size change will be concealed in a foam cup. That is one of the purposes of them, for women who are in between sizes or have a minor size difference.

    You should always fit the larger breast and for the smaller use pads, cutlets or inserts to even things out. Shortening the strap on the smaller breast to an acceptable but not overly tight setting can take out the excess room from the top of the cup. If it's tightened so much it lifts that smaller breast higher, then you need to use inserts.

    If the foam is not conforming, try one that's less rigid. Spacer foam moulds to you, unlike these "cardboard" styles that take several washes and wears before this can be achieved.

    Keep in mind too, foam moulded cups come in a few different shapes. Some are made pointy, others round. You should be selecting one that fits your shape. Otherwise it's like a woman with a curvaceous figure trying to fit into jeans made for that of a 12 year old.

  I'm going to have to differ frpm the other posters... to me this looks like an A+ . ab-fab, fantastic fit. Your tissue is contained, you are supported with excellent uplift, there are no indents or quadboob, no gapping, wires seem to follow the natural breast crease, band is suitable for your petite frame and lean torso.... basically perfect. Naturally foam cups aren't transparent so it's always possible there is a fit issue not visible to the naked eye, but using visual clues alone, again this looks like a stellar fit. Unless you are experiencing some sort of discomfort, I would call it a win and wear it until it falls apart (or your size changes).

  Slight underboob creasing is nothing to worry about in the absence of other fit-problem cues. On its own, sometimes a crease is just a crease. When it occurs WITH other issues, such as wires being too wide, band too tight or too large, gapping, quadboobing, lack of uplift, etc. then it merits analysis as it can be a sign of shape mismatch such as orange-in-a-glass (when your breast is more projected than the bra cup can accommodate, it can get 'stuck' higher in the cup and is unable to settle in the base of the cup).

  • wendybien oh really?! Ok that's great thanks alot. I almost just asked for a refund! Will consider hanging onto it a little longer

  • Seriously, is it comfortable? Does it support you (no need to adjust yourself constantly as you go about your day)? If so, and it looks good, trust yourself!
