Bra fitting help » Should I size up or is it a shape issue?
Gossard » Retrolution Half Padded Bra (8511) » 30FF 30:8
Issue resolved
Shape issue.
Original problem
I quad out of this cup size, but also get wrinkles on the top of the left cup. I really really like the look of the bra, so I would really like it to fit
I am center full, which is why I suspekt that this might be a fit issue really. But I also know that the bra runs small in the cups as my usual gossard size was WAY too small.
Should I try one cup size up?Edit: I know the cups here are too small, my question is more if I should bother going up one cup size (if it's a shape issue), or if I should just return it?

helpfulIt could easily be a shape problem as well, but I do think the cup is too small. In the frontal photo, it looks like the inner portion of the wire on your right breast is sitting on breast tissue, which, combined with the quad-boobing, makes me think it's a cup size issue. But I'm very new at this brafitting business, so I could be completely wrong!

helpfulI'm leaning towards this being a shape issue, definitely. Looking at your pictures, I get the feeling that going up a cup is going to result in the underwire poking you under the armpit. If you bought this at a store near you and it'll be inexpensive and easy to try a larger size, go for it - the underwire issue may not end up bothering you. But if you have to go back-and-forth and post things and pay shipping...

I ordered it online since I don't think any swedish stores carry gossard. But I'm returning some other things, so maybe it's worth a try after all.

helpfulI would definitely size up. The cups are too small. The under wire doesn't look too tall or long but that is a comfort issue that only you can decide. If you size up in the cups (I would) the wires on the outside of the cups might be taller or longer. The straps might be as wide or wider than this bra. So if you really like this bra I would size up and then alter the straps and band.

helpfulTried the 30G. I got rid of the quading, but it proved that this was definately a shape issue

Because larger cup size means longer wires and wider straps. :(

Uhm, yes, but that wasn't really the issue. I had a massive amount of wrinkling on top and empty fabric on the sides, but still it was to narrow by the gore. I don't think the straps were noticable wider or longer, at least the adjusted far enough.

Yes, the gore is sort of resting on my tissue, because it's too small.
