Bra fitting help » quad boobs
Fantasie » Elodie Side Support Bra (2182) » 32G 32:9
Issue resolved
32H fits!
Original problem
Band and wire length is okay, but I'm not lucky with the cups and the quad-boobs problem, maybe the cut is just not made for my boobs

helpfulThe Elodie has kind of a funky shape, especially the angle of the upper cup. IMO this is a cup shape that should never have been associated with the wide-set balconnet straps--I think they tried to convert a design with more traditionally centered straps but moving the straps out just effs everything up quite badly.
Basically, if everything else is good perhaps you can try sizing up, but otherwise just try a different bra.

In 32G you have lots of choices in Freya, Fantasie, Panache etc. Elodie is just unusually hard to fit.

Thank you :)

helpfulWell, according to the numbers you posted - your breast perimeters range from 12.2 to 13, and the cup depth is 9.3, which would be a mismatch. However, the average cup depth posted for this bra is 11.4, which is at least closer. The 32GG shows 12.1 depth, and the 32H is 12.5 . . . which is much more in your range. .
So my first thought is - too small. Its hard to know if the bra is too closed on top causing the quad when it looks like it might just be too small. I'd try at least one size up.

But when I size up, the wire sizes up, too, doesn't it?
-
The wires should get a smidge wider, but as long as the cup is deep enough and the wire isnt sitting on boob flesh and doesnt seem to be poking you in the back or the underarms, its not a huge deal. My best fitting bras often have the wires a fingers width too wide.

I always look at the bra I want here on bratabase and see what the cup depth is. I know I do best with a cup depth somewhere around 13.5, so I check out a few sizes here and see what is closest to 13.5, and order that. But I'm a 32J, and I didnt like the fantasie bras I tried and haven't tried Pour Moi. Newer Panache (and cleo by panache) and Ewa Michalak seem to work best for me, but I'm close-set and very projected.

helpfulI have a couple of different size Fantasie Elodie Side Support Bra (2182) that don't fit me, including a 32H I think; will be happy to send you one for free if you are interested in trying.

Hej audrytec! I'd be very interested in trying :) would it be a problem to send it to Germany?
Kind regards, Julie

Hi, Aramina ! It seems that bratabase covers shipping for giveaway bras - in that case, I could probably mail it. Can you look into that closer and let me know? I will probably need to create a listing for the bra to qualify for the free shipping.

Hi audrytec! This http://www.bratabase.com/help/shipping-coverage/ is what I have found about shipping coverage. Btw I'm curious about the colour ;)

I had the same bra when I had 34FF (3 years ago) but somehow my boobs seem to have grown a bit, at 34FF it fitted pretty good.
Do you know any bras which could fit? The suggestions were only 3 bras with a fitting rate of 40-60%. That couldn't have been all, I think :D
