Love the stretch feel of this bra but something doesn't sit right in the cups. The top section is one layer and thinner while the side and bottom are two layer. Get slight cone boob in this because of the different seams pulling. Wire feels a tad to wide on the side so I don't know if it will be ... good to go a cup size up. Center gore lays flat and is pretty narrow but in one of the pics you can see how close set I am when pulling gore away from me. Close to a perfect bra but not the perfect bra.

Material feels on the cheaper side, has a stray thread on left breast cup, almost scratchy material but tolerable. Band is a little tight. Good amount of padding

Been wearing this bra about two years now. I know that's way too long haha. Band stretched out and cups never fit me right but I just went with it because it was ok. For close set breast this isn't the best as I have spillage in the middle after a scoop and swoop. Gore doesn't lay flat either.

Yes I am very close set, like a pinky finger distance. Been trying a lot of balconettes but the gore doesn't seem to be skinny enough, I've read that polish brands may be a better fit. I was looking to try this same bra in a 30E (I don't think Chantelle has DD). But I also have a feeling if I got any bigger in the cup on this I will have gapping near the top at the strap since I'm pretty bottom heavy. Waiting on Amazon to let me do another try before your buy round lol...

I love the look of this bra and it's comfortable. It just doesn't seem to suit me. I can't get it to fit right.
I am told it's good for even fullness or bottom and it's worth a try. It looks fine in the cup but there's a lot of movement for me and a gaping at the bottom of the cup.

Two bras tried on still can't get it right 🙁 gap between wire and boob.
Frustrating. Especially when you have hardly any time to find and fit a bra
Bravissimo millie 32ff . Band seems OK if it's too big a 30 will be small. One cup lifts up. Feels comfy but wish top was firmer

Not loving the material or fit of this bra. Cups are oddly shaped for me. Sizing up will not fix this. Just get an overall bleh feeling with this one. Cups are too separate for me.

First off, I don't like Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate, or any other of those brands. Their bras are really scratchy, stiff, and uncomfortable.
Honestly, I've seen quite a few of your fitting help picture. Every single side picture you are popping out of the top of your bra. Are you sure your in your right size? To me it looks like all these bras are too small in cup for you. Or are you just full on top? I would suggest trying abrathatfits calculator, see if you get a different size there then here.
I appreciate the feedback and comments! I have been wearing a 32D in a Chantelle Comfort Chic full coverage for years but my bra is over a year old. The band is stretched and loose and the cups were never perfect but I can tell it's not the right cup size. Abtf says I'm a 30dd/e which is the sister size of 32d/dd. I have never worn non padded bras and after trying all the ones I have posted recently I have made a new order for some 30e and 32dd/e just to compare.
I always thought I was FOB and shallow on top because my tissue lays on my ribcage past the fold. I read last night on abtf that those with close set, center full and wide root could have an underestimated size on the calculator . Any advice or brands that would be good for close set would be appreciated! I always have spillage right by the gore. This is all overwhelming haha, my breasts appear droopy to me but there's a lot more tissue than I think I have (more than my hand in a push test) and the tall/short root thing really confuses me.

Wanted to Love this bra. Very pretty, feels luxurious and well stitched. Cups are too small but give me cone boob. The wire goes to far back on the side. I think this bra is better for someone with wide set/splayed breasts with side issues. I don't think a cup size up will benefit my close set wide root breasts.

Elladeer I see what you mean about this bra, the style of this bra leads me to believe that this is made for heavy on bottom. I would give the 75E - Chantelle » Norah Molded Bra (13F106) a shot.
Also give this a read, it made me realize a lot about my breasts. https://www.lilypadesigns.com/breast-anatomy-bra
I like the stretchy feel of the fabric, band runs large to me and I need a 30 for sure, back is great, will need to size up too.

Fits better than a 32 D but cups still too small. May need up to two sizes bigger. Band feels good in a 30 or 32.

I'd be curious to see how this would fit you in a DD, the gore isn't sitting flat because the cups are too small if I had to guess. It could also be your a close pair. Maybe a Balconette would better suit your needs?
