Bra fitting help » Wrong shape

Issue resolved
Decided cups are too small
Original problem
Seriously, can anyone wear this bra? It seems so flat! I'm new to this site, but not brand new to the world of bra sizing. But you'll probably see a few fit-issues pop up from me. Oh man, I wanted to love this bra. It's so beautiful and sexy. But the gore doesn't tack... I'm assuming this is strictly shape incompatibility?

helpfulWould a larger cup help? Your perimeter is much larger than the depth.

Not an expert myself, but I'm also wondering about the cup size. That said...it looks a little uncomfortable. The wrong fit will do that, of course, but if the bra is just plain difficult, I'd keep hunting!

I've decided the cups are just too small. Since it's not made any bigger, I listed it. Thanks everyone :-)

helpfulI feel like most strapless bras are some combination of: too shallow, too broad wired, top edges of the cups cut into the flesh. It does seem to shallow for you. I honestly don't know of anything that is non-shallow, but if you want a bra that doesn't cut into your flesh at the top edges of the cups, Cleo Neve Strapless in 30E is a good one.

Thanks. I'm thinking it's definitely just too shallow. The Freya Deco strapless was a better fit cup wise without quad-boobing, minus the side boning issue, so I do think I have somewhat shallow breasts, just apparently not THIS shallow lol. I've actually had better luck with any strapless bra in my life, shape-wise, than non-strapless... even back when I was a VS sheep and wore the wrong size.

helpfulKeeping in mind that I am far from an expert, are you sure that you have the right band size? Strapless bras are usually quite a bit firmer fitting than those with straps, and I know that going down a band size often helps a gore to sit flat, and going up in the cup size might help the wire sit better under your breasts and prevent the top cutting in as I see these are also mentioned as issues. If I were you and really loved the bra, I think I would try a bigger cup and/or smaller band before totally relegating this bra to the "wrong shape" pile : )

Not 100% sure - I can close this one on the tightest hook. I took the pics on the middle hook. Used the tightest one last night and didn't notice a huge difference in the way it fit. I'm not sure SP does 28 bands? Do they? Might be worth looking into if I could get a 28FF in it for cheap... dang I'd need to look for a 28G if I wanted to go down in the band AND up in the cup. It's a bra I want to love but I'm inclined to think it's a shape incompatibility.

Possibly. I do quad boob a bit if I s&s. Once I measured this bra I was like holy cow! That's a really shallow bra!! The width and depth of the cups are different by 3/4" of an inch. It's almost got a slightly pointy shape, at the "peak" of the cup there is a slight bit of empty space my breast shape doesn't fill. If I can find a 30FF super cheap on eBay I might give it a shot. But it's seeming more and more to me it's just not the right shape no matter how much I like it :(
