Bra fitting help » What size should I try next?
Fantasie » Susanna Side Support Bra (2402) » 30G 30:9
Issue resolved
Going to try smaller size.
Original problem
So, I took a risk ordering this, because it was listed as a UK/US 30G, which was confusing. Well, it is too big, but I'm wondering if I should go down one cup size or two? I tried to get photos of the loose fabric at the top of the cup and my smaller breast not filling the cup. The larger one nearly fits. The wires are a little wide, and go farther around my side than I'd like. The band feels pretty comfortable. I do worry that after wearing it for a few hours that it might rub my armpits too much. In the photos the straps are tightened almost all the way, and the band is on the loosest hook. So, it's not a keeper (I don't anticipate gaining enough weight for this to fit any time soon), but what size should I try next? It is pretty and seems like it might fit my shape ok in the right size.

helpfulSo, the weird thing is, I'm a numbers person - and your breast perimeters are listed as 11.5 to 12, and the cup depth is 10.5 . . . which means it should be small? Have you lost any weight since you took your measurements? I'm also wondering - how much empty space do you have on the sides of the cups? I'm wondering if the shape is ok for you? If the cups are way too wide and you are somewhat projected, its going to be hard to get a good fit - but I could be reading this all wrong, idk

Ok, put it over my knee and tried again. Pretty close to 12" if I did it right this time.

Which means you could go down - but is there a lot of empty room at the side? How much space is between the end of your breast and the wire on the outside? Because it looks to me like the bra is baggy on the outside, but not so baggy on the inside?

It's not really baggy on the sides, there's maybe half an inch between the end of my breast and the wire. The bottom is filled ok, and the inside fits ok. I think my main problem is not being able to fill the top, and ruffling at the top edge, if that makes sense. I cannot for the life of me get a good picture of this issue. Thanks for your help.

I have a few bras that are a little loose on top - but if that doesnt show under a shirt, I dont worry, as long as the rest is comfy and I like it

dbmamaz I was confused about the depth measurement, and honestly I could have done it wrong. Let me go look at the instructions and try again...this is the first bra I have tried to measure.
