Bra fitting help » Size or shape issue? Other bra recommendation?
Cleo » Jude (5846) » 28FF 28:8
Issue resolved
Wrong shape, too shallow - need to go with more depth and projection. Tried a Deco and it fits great
Original problem
The band is right tightness, I cannot fill the bottom of the cups, a half an inch of it is empty. If I take in a deep breath, the top of the cups cut and I get a slight quadboob. The gore lays flat until I take a deep breath or bring my shoulders back. The fact that the bra is too low (the empty part) hurts me if I bend or sit. That and overall incompatible shape under clothes (I look flattened out to the sides, I can feel my breasts every time I move an arm). Ideally, the shape I would want in a moulded bra would be more projected.
Any recommendations? I'm really unsure if it is a shape or size issue, or both. Thanks

helpfulYeah the Jude works for few and it's definitely too shallow for you. Try the Juna, Deco, and perhaps the Marcie if you're somewhat FoT (might want to check the reviews for that)

helpfulHey chica! I know I've talked to you lots regarding our hunt for the perfect molded bra, but I think it's possibly both. But mostly I think Jude was kind of a fail in larger ranges, Cleo failed to take into account the larger sizes generally need more projection.
The gore lifting and inability to fill out the bottoms of the cups, plus the squashing and quadding all suggest the bra is too shallow. The measured depth seems to match with your measured perimeter, so I'm more inclined to think it's a shape issue rather than size.
From what I'm hearing, if you want projection in a formed-molded-padded-preshaped-of-any-kind cup, you need to go Polish lol. I've been reluctant to do so but with my recent migration and somewhat narrowing of my roots, I've finally bitten the bullet and ordered a Comexim Juliette. I will report back.
Have you read my review the Lulu Tout Madeleine, and considered trying that one? I can't remember if we discussed that bra or not.
My kitten just tried to add +++++++++++++++++++ to this post. So, that's her opinion

Agreed with lcl0706 : for molded/padded + projection + narrow, Comexim is great (others prefer Ewa Michalak or Kris Line).
I might also recommend a Cleo Juna in the same size if wire width isn't an issue. For some reason, I can wear the 30FF without pain throughout the day (now that I've bent the gore out slightly, anyway) even though the wires are a tad wide for my usual ribcage comfort.

helpfulHave you tried a Freya Deco? They don't work for everybody but for those that they do work for, they are seamless, well projected and give you lots of ooomph to your shape.
