Bra fitting help » Wrong shape, cup size, or both??
Natori » Euphoria Front Close Contour (728206) » 32D 32:4
Center gore digs in, large gaps at top of cups. Band fits well. Can't tell if wrong shape, wrong cup size or both.

helpfulThe cups and the band are too big. I would recommend going down in the band (32D -> 30DD) and then down probably two cup sizes (30DD -> 30C).
Are you sure you measured the stretched band correctly? The smallest stretched band measurement recorded for a Natori 32D is 29.1", with an average of 32.1". Assuming that you measured the resting band length correctly and that this bra has the same band stretch factor as Natori's other models, I would expect the stretched band to be about 31"--not 28"!

helpfulI recently had the same problem. The band is definitely too big, and I think the cup is actually too small.
I measure at 28D/DD but it's hard to find my size, so I got the Natori feathers underwire contour plunge bra in 30D. My breasts swell quite a bit during my period and when I last had my period, my bra did the exact same thing. It was like my breast was finding its way to the largest part of the cup because there wasn't enough space at the bottom, pushing the bra down on my ribcage, and it was impossible to keep in place because the band was too loose. Makes my breasts look like they sit way lower on my chest than they actually do and is so annoying.
My recommendation: get a bra in 30D or 28C (smaller band, bigger cup) and opt for something with less coverage because you're having gaping. I would actually recommend the bra I mentioned above - it's very comfortable and it's super molded. They don't make a 28 band though. Good luck!

helpfulOh my, you and I have similar measurements. I found it earthshattering when I found out that bands came in a smaller size than 32. Given your ribcage size, once you embrace the 26 -28 bands you will find greater fit and a flattering silhouette. I never knew I had boobs until I found smaller bras!
I call this bra here the pancake bra and had tons of them since that was all I could find. Have a look at the bras listed here in 26d and E (60 D and E) and 28C and D. Look at the ones people have posted but also what is for sale. I personally found that tailoring my bras was a godsend given the lack of selection in this size range. I tack the top lace but also shorten bands given 28's are hard to find.
You are not wide and shallow as I am sure people have told you but petite and projected. No more Natori bras for you! Good luck in your bra journey and shopping smaller bands! Say no to 32's and 34's. Just say no!

helpfulI agree with jazzypants. You seem to be petite and slim (like me), and given how far you can stretch the band I can say you're more of a 26-28 band. The band is too big, the cup is the wrong shape. In fact, I see many similarities with myself, your roots look short and narrow and I bet you have some projection too, given how the underwires are being pushed down. I recommend you follow jazzy's suggestion, and use the A Bra that Fits calculator. You may be a 26-28 C-D-DD. And based on your description of your shape, I think you're a great candidate for Comexim. Once you figure out your size, you can order from Breakout Bras with the safety that they are returnable if they don't work. That's what I did! You can also check my profile and see my pictures with my Comexims, we may be boob twins? Good luck!

helpfulIf the centre gore is digging in you may need to size up in the band. With your shape you may need a bigger band to prevent digging into the ribcage. The cups are clearly too big. I would try a 34 with an A or B cup. This should give you the width in the cup without the depth needed to fill it and prevent the gore from sitting too tight and pressing in the centre. (worst feeling ever). The cups on the bra here are also far too wide and hence why you are getting space in the back band. This is why sizing way down in the cup and up in the band will balance things out.

I agree that this looks too big across the board.
Cb5678qas Have you tried using the A Bra That Fits calculator? The measurements I’m seeing for you here don’t look right. For example, the breast perimeter (which is admittedly hard to measure) looks like an over estimation.
