Bra fitting help » Does it fit alright? Need help
Freya » Lacey Plunge Balcony Bra (4791) » 28E 28:6
Issue resolved
I'll try to wear this model with the extender.
I should try different models for my breast shape.
Original problem
Hello!
I'm newbie in the right-for-you bra journey, so I need some help.
This bra just arrived and I have to decide, does it fit alright or not.
It seems that the band is tight, but I don't know, is it ok or not, because I used to wear more free sizes, so maybe it should be tight.
The second issue is the cup depth. As the photo shows, it goes a little bit drapey(?). Need to say that, while the bra was reaching me, maybe I lost 1-2 cm. My weight flows sometimes.
How it looks for you? Should I try freer band or smaller cup size?
In the conclusion, the bra itself is really comfortable. Thank you for any help and sorry for my English (it is not my native language).

I agree the cup looks a bit loose on you. Try a DD and see how it fits.
Freya brand bras have bands that stretch out very fast, so I think it is probably better for you to keep a 28 and wear this with an extender for a while--then it will stretch and you will be able to wear it without the extender. In other brands, though, you may want to try 30 size bands. You have a small back but you don't have much soft flesh to protect your ribs, so tight bands (28 size) may be uncomfortable for you.

How about the wires? Do they match your breast root? Are they sitting in breast tissue?
In 28DD the wires would be .5 cm narrower, so this might be too narrow for you.
Freya balconies are well-known for making 'orange-in-a-glass' issues on wide-root boobs in the smaller cup sizes. Read this: http://www.bratabase.com/knowledge/orange-in-a-glass/Updated on August 19, 2014 Flag this

Oh, this is exactly the thing.
In this size the wires are ok and the cup is filled pretty well in the bottom. So, this is for me, as I think: "base is much bigger than the depth". -
Check out Libby's list about bras for wide root shallow boobs then! http://www.bratabase.com/profile/65y/adventures/2346/ These have a high matching rate for that shape.

Thanks, bracrastination!
More thoughts - the size of this one is ok, but I need other shapes. :)

Thank you for the comment, wendybien! It is really helpful.
I should try DD then. Need to think about keeping this one or to exchange to another one. =( The next time, I think it is better to order different sizes to try...
