Bra fitting help » Small bust/projected and Losing My Mind
Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) » 32DD 32:5
Issue resolved
I have discovered I am "shallow" on top and projected on bottom, therefore, the majority of my bras are cutting into my top tissue.
Original problem
Super frustrated! I thought for sure this bra would fit almost perfect, but I've got wrinkly at the bottom of the cup (very minor) and I don't quite fill out the top of the cup. This is the ONLY bra that I've tried on that has enough projection for me (Marcie came close). Do I need more FoTness? No picture of back because it was a bad picture. The band is a good fit.
I measure at a 32DD/30E
What am I missing? I could use any and all help/recommendations.
I've not tried any Polish brands yet.
Thanks!
Edit: The gore only digs because I tightened the straps. Once I shuffle things around a little and move the gore slightly down, it's good. I'm not quite sure why the bottom is a tiny bit wrinkly, I have a suspicion it may be because either the wires are too wide/narrow. The bottom of the cup is totally filled. Maybe If i didn't tighten the straps I wouldn't have had the wrinkling. My big issue is finding a bra in my size with enough projection - as most seem to be made for shallow breasts. I could try a 32D, but I would be afraid of quadding then and not enough projection. I have a really hard time keeping underwires in my IMF. Also, left breast is bigger than right. So, a bra that fits my left will be too big on the right . I think you can see that in these pictures. Main picture is left breast.

helpfulThis looks simply too big in the cup. Wrinkling in several places, wires hurting etc. means there is no surface tension on the cup fabric because you are not filling it. I'd try 1 cup size down.

I think there is a typo in the cup depth measurement. 7.5 is not a normal 32DD depth for the Jasmine! 32D (so 1 cup smaller) is 8.5".

(7.5" or so is a typical depth we see in UK brands for the 30D or 28DD range, in case you were needing that info for the bra nerd files.)

helpfulEdit: Typo in the measurements. Cup depth should be about 8.8. Corrected on measurements.

I wonder if her breast is too firm and cone-shaped to be squished in to a smaller cup? all of her perimeters are larger than her cup depth, so I'm confused - it does look like a lot of empty cup though.
