I just bought two Parfait Madeline Contour bras, both 32 G, just different colours. The grey one fits all wrong but the white one fits almost perfect! What gives?

  • Are they both from the same season/year collection? Were they ordered online?

    Sometimes I've noticed that online 'discount' retailers (like ebay, amazon, zulily) will have what appears to be the same model/style/product number but the company has made some changes in it from the previous years for the current collection. I'm assuming that the ability to get customers a discounted price is thanks to a lot more than simply placing one big order and making deals with shipping companies. When a business decides they aren't going to take delivery of the full shipment from a manufacturer, or the business is unable to sell all of the stock but needs to make room for the new, they still want to recoup as much money as possible and maximize profit. This is where close-out and clearance retailers step in - and why Ross will have random sizes in department store brands on occasion, along with online stores that sell on ebay or amazon.

    Other than that, sometimes the materials themselves are the reason, and one color manages to fit differently than others.

  • This is why we always recommend to add each bra independently, that will let you know better what is different.

    I agree with valentine556, It makes me grumpy each time I ese that a brand makes changes to a bra and they don't label it properly. Bras need revision numbers to know what you're getting. Freya's new Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) are coming with different cut this season, and unless you know, you won't know.
