Bra fitting help » Too big? Or just too wide?
Curvy Kate » Dreamcatcher Balcony Bra (CK2301) » 28F 28:7
Issue resolved
Wires are too wide and bra doesn't allow for projection
Original problem
I'm still trying to figure out what size I should be. This is the first unlined/unpadded bra I've ever worn so I'm not sure how it's supposed to fit. I'm definitely FoB with projection, but I'm not really sure what else. I've been wearing the wrong size for a long time, so I have a lot of migrated tissue on my sides that I'd love to put back where it belongs.
I'm not sure if this fits, is too big, or is just the wrong shape. The gore digs in and the cups wrinkle a bit. The cups definitely extend too far on the sides. Also this gives me the infamous upside-down 7 boob shape.
Any help, insights about my shape, or suggestions for other bras/brands would be lovely!

Yeah, the cup is too wide. I don't think it's too big, but I think it's looking for more upper fullness than you have. See if you can find a CK Bardot in your size, or your sister size of 30E.
Cleo Lucy might also work.

Absolutely, yes.

I do not see a wide root here at all. The part of your root that is low down enough to fit into an underwire appears to be almost entirely on the front, not the side, of your torso. I see a very narrow and projected breast shape. You appear to have a bit of axillary (underarm) breast tissue but that is a natural and normal physiological feature, and not a deformity caused by ill-fitting bras.

Thanks! I've been looking around to find a Cleo Lucy or Lily, but I haven't been able to find one that's a justifiable price. I'll keep an eye out for the Bardot. So you think the 28F is the proper size in a different shape?
