Bra fitting help » Would reduced cups improve this fit?
Comexim » Irish Coffee Plunge Bra (335) » 65J 30:10
Issue resolved
It's way too big and tall. Will try a reduced half cup in a size down.
Original problem
I'm getting ready to try a custom order with this same bra. I think moving the straps in, raising the gore, and reducing the cups would improve the fit. What do you all think? Would that be enough to get rid of this empty space, or should I also size down?
Note: my measurements listed are wrong. I have lost weight since updating them here. Last time I measured (about 3 weeks ago) I had about the same ABTF measurements except for my underbust, which was about 29 inches.

To me this looks like a lot of empty space and cups are much too tall, so you should definitely size down a cup (or two maybe?).

helpfulThis is massively too big for you, but since your body measurements aren't up to date I don't really know how much you should size down or if the corresponding cup height would be OK. Since it's the wrong size altogether, it's really hard to judge shape. Do you have another bra that currently fits you perfectly? You could try and cross-reference that with smaller sizes of Irish Coffee to see if one of those sizes matches up in its dimensions. Wire length can sometimes give an idea of how tall the cups are, obviously the wires don't go all the way to the top of the cup but it can be indicative of whether it is taller or shorter than average.

helpfulIts hard to see - are your breasts pushed against the end of the bra? Is the bottom of the bra really filled? or could your breasts be ok a bit squished?

The larger one goes to the end and fills the bottom. Smaller one doesn't quite as well. I think volume wise I could do a size down, but I'm concerned that the wire width might become too narrow... but that's probably hard to tell from the pictures.
Edit: I added another picture of the top view that should hopefully be clearer than the first one. This is what it looks like with the straps adjusted as short as possible.

Its bit hard to tell to this picture. Try cup size down if that problem is only happened in upper cup side. Unless I recommend reduced oe short cup for custom. Also ask them shorter straps then they will make one for you somehow in comexim they make the large bra higher and larger than smaller size.

Do you mean Comexim starts making their cups proportionally taller at a certain cup size? That's interesting; do you know the size when they start doing that?

I'm pretty sure all bras are taller in larger sizes. I mean, you have more breast to cover.

Oh I realize that, haha, I just meant it sounded like she was saying the height/width ratio takes a significant jump at a certain cup size. I might have been reading it wrong though.

Still its hard to tell but try 1 cup size down and if the wires and the side works on you, try reduced one

And two weeks later, here are my up-to-date measurements: http://bra.pe/QFb1/
No perfectly fitting bras right now. :( I have a 30GG Panache Envy and a Cleo Lucy that are way too wide, but about the right depth. Also a Freya Icon in 30G which fits... weirdly, but it's probably the best fit I have right now.
I actually measured the Freya and had the previous owner of the Irish Coffee measure its cup height. The measurements seemed similar enough that I thought this one would work, but clearly I did something wrong there!
