  I definitely think you'd do well in a bra with a narrower gore. Does Comexim do overlapping underwires? Do you know if other Polish brands would do it?

  • I don't know. That would be a good thing to ask.

    Yeah, i looked at some other ppl wearing the bra, and it fit them better. By the numbers, the depth is smaller than your perimeter, so it might just be too small

  • But if I went up a cup size wouldn't that make the right side rub against my armpit even more?

    true - your breasts are very high. Hmm. Not sure this is the right model for you, then?

  Are you quite sure this cup size is deep enough? Do you quad if you press the gore to your sternum and force it to tack? Also, assuming your measurements are up to date, a 7.5" cup for a 9.4" lying perimeter seems like it would be a pretty tight squeeze. I realize that the depth measurement on a plunging, low-gore bra doesn't always represent the way it fits but I don't know that you wanna be a full 2" off from your real anatomical measurement.

  • I'm starting to think I might go down a band size and up two cup sizes. Because I do kind of feel squished.

  • The thing is that it quads a bit on my left side of I push the gore down but on my right the top cuts ino my armpit. I think I'll try bending the wires.

    If it is at all returnable I wouldn't mess with it too much, I'd just send it back. It really does look too small to me. I think you're being visually misled by the fact that the cups are way taller than you need, so it looks like there is space up at the top--but that doesn't change the fact that there isn't enough space for your boobs in the main part of the cups.

    If Comexim customizes cup height then surely that would help with the cutting in? No?

  • I missed the return date and already bent the wires. I'll take new photos today of it with the wires bent. Would you recommend just going up one cup size? Then lowering the cups and moving the straps in?

    I'm not sure whether you'd need one or more cup sizes, maybe check measurements for similar designs? I would think that fixing straps, raising the gore slightly and lowering the cup would make it into a better cup shape for you, a bit like that Fauve bra in your bra list, but with a narrower gore and better strap placement.

  • Raising the gore? I never would have thought of that. I would have lowered it. But my EM 3dm has a really low gore and provides very little support for me. I just have close together boobs and high gores tend to cut in. But these wires are soft. Thanks for all the help!

  • I just added a photo of me wearing the bra after the wires were bent. It's still a bit small. Oh well. I guess next time I'll go up a cup size and get the cups reduced.

  go down a band size up two upsizes. get vertical seems. Raise the gore .25 of an inch triple hook but two if ur more comfortable with that. lower the tp of the cup slightly so its between a half cup and plunge If u know what i mean? move straps in see if the will overlap the wires (so the wire is closer together less space taken up between breats.) this way you will still get separation but you will also get nice round cleavage. hope this helps

  • Thanks! How would raising the gore help? Do you know if they move the wires in? Or if they will put vertical seams in?

  • i have no clue what they do :/ but ik you can do a alteration to make the gore less wide by pinching a bit of the fabric in-between the gore and then sewing it. i think this gore is just low for u. What type of cleavage are u looking for like pushed together line of cleavage going through the boobs where its almost a mono boob or separated lifted barely touching apple like cleavage.

  • I want cakes on a plate cleavage.

  • Then I would go with a half cup style overlapping wire and a open on top

  • How would raising the gore help when I have close together boobs?

  • Because u still need separation. It how the gore is shaped that's the issue atm. It's like an upside down v when you need the shape of a upside down y with the edges being curved? Do u understand my description? Without seperation and having the support from the bra every time u try to lift them they will fall inwards

  • Yeah. I got it. Thanks. Maybe Comexim just won't work for me. EM does though.

  I cant see where the outside of the underwire is? Is it close enough or too wide? Or is there really not one lol

  • Underwire is ok. The cups feel like they compress me a bit.
