Bra fitting help » Help! Beautiful bra, but problematic shape of the bust
Ava » Crystal Soft (1396) » 75F 34:6
At first, the fit of this bra seemed good to me, but after a while of wearing it, the material under the bust started to wrinkle and the bust took the shape of a duckbill. I think the size of the cup is appropriate, if I took the smaller one it would be too small. The circuit fits me perfectly, it is comfortable. sternum slightly too high and a bit stuck, but bearable I believe that my frequent problem with bras (cup puckering at the bottom) may be due to the shape of the breasts: little tissue below the nipple, triangular shape, fuller breasts on top, quite protruding to the front, tall root. What do you think about it? It's a pity, because I liked this bra so much
But I will return it, because I don't like its visual effect.

helpfulWhat a beautiful bra! I'm sorry it isn't staying in place for you. It seems like it might be a bit of a shape mismatch. It seems like your breasts are looking for more projection at the wire than they are getting. So, while you're able to get the wire into your IMF when you first put it on, soon your breasts are pushing it down further onto your ribs. I wish I had better recommendations of something to try, but we are somewhat opposite shapes aside from being projected.

Sorry about that. The IMF is the intramammary fold. What this is is where your chest and your breast meet at the bottom. This is where your underwire should sit. In the pictures, it looks like it has moved down a little way. This usually happens for one of two reasons (I think). First, if your band is too big, it might slide down in the front (and usually the back rides up, too). The other reason is if the cup isn’t deep enough at the bottom. I have that problem frequently and it causes wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. Basically the breast needs it to go out more right at the bottom of the cup, but instead the fabric is trying to go up more than out..
It could also be that the underwire just isn’t quite in the right spot and you could fix it by bending forward and lifting the wire into that IMF I mentioned earlier. I don’t have any recommendations on other bras to try because we are shaped very differently in most ways.
If you really move the wire up directly under your breast tissue and smooth the cups out and then find it has moved down after a few minutes and is wrinkly like this, I think it’s the shape. I would try looking for something with “immediate projection” (going out at the wire instead of just up) and made for full on top breasts.If, on the other hand, the wire stays in place right under your breast, then it is probably the opposite problem and there is just too much depth at the bottom. Sorry this is so contradictory, it just depends on whether the wire is sliding down or not.
I hope that makes sense. If not, let me know and I can try to explain differently

wow, thanks for the comprehensive answer. I gave this bra back, but I remember that it was much better at first, and after time it started to wrinkle, I have the same with other bras, when I put on a bra after washing it looks nice and I do not see it wrinkling too much, but at the end of the day it already you can see strong dents at the bottom of the cup. Besides, when I bend over, it seems to me that the breasts are fuller at the top (above the nipple line) than at the bottom. In general, you explained everything nicely and it is understandable to me. I still can't understand what "immediate projection" means? is it about that? http://ifthebrafitswearit.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-short-explanation-about-immediate.html?m=1 sorry to ask. Do you think I should try Ewa Michalak's halfcup?

That is exactly what I mean about immediate projection! I think the author made it make more sense than I could. Pictures definitely help, too, I hope. From what you’re saying, it sounds like that is likely the problem. You can be projected even if you are full on top.
Unfortunately that is where my help ends. I don’t know much about styles that work well for full on top shapes (I’m full on bottom). Ewa Michalak is known for being good for projection, I just don’t know what styles are likely to fit. Sorry

Thank you very much for the suggestion on immediate projection, I read a bit about it and I think it makes sense ..

If your breasts are full on top, then full cups are recommended for ideal fit. Of course, that doesn't help you when you have a square or v-necked top. My breasts are also full on top, and my best fit right now is actually a plunge by Ewa Michalak, an indie Polish bra maker. I'm told that Polish bras tend to be more projected, which you might need.
I'm also wondering if your band size is correct. The kind of pinching I see on the side of your cup happens when the cup is too small, but if you go up a cup size, you may need to go down in the band as well? To check, do a backward band test. Basically, you put the bra on backwards (so, cups are at the back) and then put two fingers under the band between your breasts and see how far you can pull it out. More than an inch and the band is too big. If you can't fit two fingers under, then the band is too small.

Recently, I ordered a bra by Ewa Michalak in a size compatible with the calculator, but the cups also wrinkled and the circumference was too tight (added to my profile), so I returned it. I think with this Ava bra the band was not too small, I was comfortable in it, but I could probably try a smaller one as well. and I wonder if the size 70G or 75E would not fit better :)

helpfulI hate the duckbill shape of most bras too, but I discovered Kinga and Gorsenia and I love and recommend them! It looks like you haven't tried them yet. I don't know if they work with your shape, but it might be worth trying, their cups have a very beautiful, round shape.

Hey, thanks for your opinion. I am from Poland, I don't know if I understand what you mean from the translation. What does IMF stand for? And what does breasts are looking for more projection at the wire? Did you mean the underwires are too narrow for me? I generally do not feel comfortable wearing wider underwires, because they end too far from my breasts and the front breasts stick out at the top and flatten. I often have the effect of the cup wrinkling at the bottom, but I still do not understand if it is because of too narrow underwires, too wide or too deep (shallow) cup
