Issue resolved

cups too projected for my shape

Original problem

I'm getting the same little fold in the gore as I asked about with the Juna (not sure where it's most visible; here's my fit request on the Juna: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dludp/#), but my biggest problem here is the cup shape. The bra is rather forgiving, being a soft cup. However, I still feel like it's not a good fit. In the outer lower quadrant of the cups, it's VERY tight! You can (hopefully) see in one of the side-view photos how this produces vertical folds. Perhaps the tightness there is purposeful, in order to give a better overall shape. What actually happens for me, though, is that is that, instead of moving the tissue upward and toward the center, I feel like it's just getting squished to the side. The result is that I don't fill the top of the cups, especially the part near the gore. There's a lot of wrinkling, mostly in the lace part on top of the cups. I wonder if this would be helped by a slightly tighter band because, after scoop-and-swoop, I do get a decent shape in the cup and fill most of it -- but this doesn't stay in place for very long. Overall, I don't think it looks terrible and I'm happy to have tried a soft cup bra (this is my first one), but I think I'm going to return it anyway. Just hoping someone can explain what the cup issues might indicate.
