Bra fitting help » Think it will relax the shape?
Curvy Kate » Lola Padded Balcony Bra (SG1901) » 32JJ 32:14
Issue resolved
Well, after a few more weeks, its still pretty lumpy, but I like how warm it is in the winter under 2 layers, with the padding. I'm keeping it so . ..
Original problem
So this is the smaller size (see my other request http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dlmfg/)
It fits better. its not perfect. Its slightly loose, and the shape is a tad awkward.
Hey, it cost $15 and mostly fits so I am keeping it - but do you think it might soften its shape a bit in the wash?
any other thoughts?
Oh, and it measured almost a half inch deeper than the database's estimate, so thats good.

helpfulIt seems to fit MUCH better than the 32K. I think how much it softens up after washing depends a lot on how much padding there is. For the price, keeping it is definitely the right move. I'm just curious why you went for the padded bra, though. I'm becoming a big fan of unpadded, and even unlined, bras. For me, I like the shape I get. I wore VS push-ups for a number of years, but I'll never go back. Not that they have my size anymore, anyway. *grin*
I wanna know how you get those fabulous overhead shots! Maybe I should try my phone instead of the digital camera.

Thanks. I laughed out loud at that. You are just plain awesome.

helpfulHaving tried this I think the fabric will soften up. It's the same fabric as some of CKs other padded bras. I have found that it's not perfect the first few washes, but really comfy after the 3rd or so wash.

Thanks, Animated! exactly what I was hoping for!

Good! This bra has a weird shape and I think it takes heavy breasts like yours (I assume) to make it work.
I personally love the ck desire which has the same padding. It has a much nicer shape now that I've had it for 6 ish months. -
which bra is that? I did notice from other reviews that this Lola seems to do better on larger/heavier breasts that can stretch out its odd shape
-
sorry, the desire, missed that - the largest cup in my band size is 2.5 inches shallower than this . . . I think the daily boost actually comes big enough, though
-
The daily boost is made out of the same stuff! The desire also runs a cup size small... So probably not ideal for you. Although, it does run about one band size small as well. Amazon has it, in not sure about your size, but if you find it then you can return it for free :)

I'm not ready to buy another bra quite yet. but i'll try to keep it in my wishlist
-
dbmamaz the Daily boost isn't big, it's just wide. If you see gaping in the cups by the straps, that means the cups are too wide.
-
What i mean is that it goes up to a large enough cup size in my band size.
The daily boost comes in a 32JJ with a 13.4 inch cup depth, or a 32K with a 14.3 cup depth.
the Desire only goes up to a 32HH, at a 12.1 inch cup depth - way too small for me.
also, the boost in a 32JJ has a cup width of 6.8 - in the same range as my other bras, not particularly wide.

helpfulI would hand wash it, just so it won't get ruined in the washing machine. That softens bras up a little.

helpfulFirst update - I have washed the bra and wore it today. Uh . . all day. With my panache bras, after 4 hours I was in agony - this is just uncomfortable - on the first day - wow!
The bra has settled in to my shape a bit, too. Its not as much uplift and certainly not as nice a shape as my panache bras, but it has much better cleavage (not that it matters under a turtleneck on this rainy cold day, but i looked a few times lol)
Really curious how I will feel about this after a few weeks - will post the review then.

Honestly, I was looking for a light-colored bra . . . i couldnt find any! and then for the price i figured it was worth a try. Might be nice on cold days, idk
I actually use my camera - its got a zoom and i zoom it all the way in and put it right under my eyeball lol
