Bra fitting help » Too small?
Ewa Michalak » S Kamea (600) » 65HH 30:12
Issue resolved
Will try 1 cup up!
(maybe even 2)
Original problem
I already sold this bra but i realize i should have done a fit request! I am not sure if the S style and i will ever get along. The pics are with the cookies removed. I was exploding out with them in. I think its too small even with them out though since i have a lot of boobie flowing over the top of the cup and it cuts into my tissue up there as well. It gave me a horrible shape under clothes from the little bit of quadding. I special ordered it in a 65 but it measures more like a 70 and rides up in the back on me. Does this look right or would i do better in 1 cup up?

You are absolutely right--it is too small. There is not a huge indent because of your firmness but it is not containing nearly enough of the breast, especially at the center. If you look at the measurements it is clear also that this cup is not deep enough. Try at least 1 cup up, maybe 2.
This is an issue that you have to look out for if you are either very young with super dense tissue, or have implants. I actually often see augmented folks (even certain bloggers, who shall remain nameless) who are misled into believing something fits because there isn't visible quadding. In fact, if it's not containing enough of your boobs, you are not well-supported, which is a problem for everyone, implants or not!

Thank you so much for your help! :) This bra definitely didnt feel very supportive. I knew the measurements seemed low but i thought i remembered reading that with a moulded cup bra it isnt uncommon to fit into something with smaller depth than usual? I just redid my measurements the other day because i felt i was outgrowing the things i was previously fitting best in (65HH EM and 65M Comexim). My perimeters were only 11" before so ive definitely been in need of a bump up it seems!
Thank you for the suggestions! Ill have to see if i can find anywhere remotely near me to try Empreinte on! All the 30Gs on my list are old bras im just trying to get rid of. It has definitely been a struggle to find something that really works well for me. Comexim in a 65M has been nearly perfect! But i require so many alterations it can be a bit frustrating! Especially from the swapping standpoint :(

Oh no, what you've read is probably that molded cups RUN smaller (and tend to be shallower)... this absolutely does not mean that you'll fit into it easier, on the contrary. That's why finding a molded cup that fits is typically very difficult for women in the large cup small band size range, although the Polish brands do offer narrower and projected options.
Where do you live in the US? It can be rough finding a boutique that carries Empreinte if you are not on one of the coasts. If you are in SoCal you can likely find stuff because of the fortunately coinciding concentration of both luxury shopping options and augmented boobs. There is a good online discounter in France, not sure what they have in stock at the moment though.

helpfulIt looks like it's the right size (cup-wise) to me! I think the issue is it's not very accommodating to your FoT tissue. You could try a size up (maybe try to find one used for cheap you can just try out, rather than invest in a new one?), but it's probably best to stick to PL, which is super open on top and allows for top-heavy, firm tissue.
Have you tried their half-cups (CH, CHP, HP)? They're REALLY open on top and super accommodating. Most (including) people even go a cup smaller, because they're so open.

I have a PL in this same size and it's a little on the tight side that's why I was hoping a cup up would help in the S too! Really I only care because I NEED that strappy black one ;) overall Comexim is a far better fit for me than EM anyways!
I haven't tried any EM half cups yet! I've been told they'd probably be too shallow for me. Im very full all over and not just FOT! But I did just try a Comexim demi cut from Wellfitting that worked pretty well. So I might have to give the CHP a try! Thank you! :)

helpfulI'm curious because I dont actually see quadding, as much as just a lot of you outside of the bra. i think if you look at the bigger model on Ewa's page for this bra, she's coming out the top too. I cant imagine i wouldnt FALL out throughout the day, but i think some ppl like a bra that doesnt cover much. Idk, i havent tried this model yet

You are right it doesn't look like it in that picture but it definitely does cut into me and cause some quadding. Not a ton but enough to make the shape pretty ugly under my clothes! I don't mind having some tissue bubbling over! But I just really wasn't sure I liked the fit on this one at all! :(

ETA because I'm nosy, I took a look at your current list of bras, and it looks like you've been struggling to find a decent fit. I actually think you would be right on the outer edge of the Empreinte size range, i.e. a 30H in their (comparatively) less deep bras i.e. all the seamless ones, and a 30G in the crazy deep-fitting ones like Thalia.
