Bra fitting help » What does this say about my shape?
Fantasie » Lois Side Support Bra (2972) » 32HH 32:12
Issue resolved
Thanks for all the feedback. I tried it on again this morning to double-check. The center almost 'tacks' or whatever - the side on my bigger boob is against my chest, but the side towards my smaller boob is not. So its not flat?
In some ways, I think it really does fit well and is comfortable. I get a little spillage on my bigger side and a little loose fabric on the smaller side.
But in the end, I just hate the pointiness of the shape. I dont want points. So I'll return this one.
thanks again
Original problem
This bra has the strangest problem I've seen (but i've not been at this for long).
First of all, its too pointy for me, I'm round. But its got this 'side support panel' - which seems to make a dent in my boob? Like there is the bullet-shaped boob sticking out, and then this triangular piece connecting the cone to my body.
If you look in the fuzzy picture, you can kind of see there is a slight indent where the three seams meet. I have no idea what is supposed to fit there!
But I am not familiar with the lingo you all use - what does this bad fit say about my shape? Just that I'm round? Or full? Or what?
(I thought I already posted this, but it didnt show up - i'll delete if its a duplicate)

helpfulthe lois is a tough fit in the larger cup sizes. i'd abandon it.
the 'dent' with the side support panel is just something bra manufacturers need to work on, lol. i have a panache emily that gives me 4 boobs...at the side!

helpfulIts not the right shape for you and too small. The dent is the manufactures fault,
Side supports tend to do that, Im not a fan of those myself. Updated on August 15, 2014 Flag this

helpfulSide support panels often make that indent. It doesn't really mean anything!
However since the gore does not tack that indicates the cups are a bit too small. Try one size up and see if the fit improves.Updated on August 13, 2014 Flag this

A bra can be big enough or even too large in one dimension (width for example) while being too small in depth. In your size range, as I mentioned on the other request, if you wear underwires, you really, really need the center gore to tack, otherwise the wires cannot do their stabilizing job and will move around and hurt and whatnot.

the lois has relatively soft wires, so it often does not tack in the higher cup sizes -- it doesn't necessarily mean the cup is too small.
Idk, the top cuts in a bit, but from the top view you can also see some loose fabric. I cant imagine living with the dent, either - i mostly wear t-shirts, often clingy ones. I think I dont like the shape - too bullety for me. But on my other request someone said I might be longer/narrower than the round shape I like. Its very confusing.
