When do wrinkles mean that the bra is just the wrong shape?
Recently, I purchased the Cleo Lily and while I like the bra there are wrinkles around the nipple area and under my breast. I am thinking that the bra might be a tad too shallow for me. I like the shape that the bra gives my breasts, and I really like the fact that the bra fits the upper part of my breasts so well, that's why I am assuming that the bra is the wrong shape. Additionally there is not any gaping material where the cups lie against the front of my breasts. So when do you ladies know when a bra is too shallow for you? Thanks!

Well all wrinkles are not equal. You can get wrinkling from excessive stress on the fabric (it's being pulled too tight in a certain direction) or on the contrary from insufficient stress (lack of surface tension because you're not filling it out, it's too large).
And frankly sometimes the wrinkling is not a fit issue but a fabric/materials/construction quality issue. Sometimes manufacturers go for the cheap and cheerful variety of materials that may not sit very well, or may get wrinkles from normal wear that then won't go away, or they may have less than impeccable quality control resulting in some slightly bumpy seaming--this also can cause wrinkling.
Excellent response as usual Wendybien. How do bra wearers know when their bra wrinkles are a result of too much stress, rather than a too large cup size?
