Didn't fit

Since my 28FF Marcie gave quad boobs but the Envy was fine, I concluded that 28FF is my size, but I need the stretch lace for my top fullness. So, I ordered this bra which is supposed to fit my projected, fuller on top & centre boobs, with tall and narrow roots, close-set and soft tissue.

I'm not sure what's happening here - are the cups too big or the wrong shape...? I'm having lots of wrinkles on the mesh portion of the cups. Despite this, I feel supported and my boobs look good. The cups are deep and narrow, and the stretch lace definitely accommodates my top fullness. The band is snug and nice.

Black colorway

    I think it looks pretty good! Maybe you could size down but I don’t think I would if it’s comfortable for you. Wrinkles like that aren’t necessarily a problem.

    Looks great to me but I think it’s wrinkled because of the material being thin and silky. You might try a size down as this one is known for being a little bit big.

    If the wrinkles do not show through clothing and you feel supported, I do not think they are a big deal. I had some similar wrinkles in Hettie, in a couple of sizes, despite KNOWING one size fit/was a smidge too small. I think sometimes fabric just wrinkles a bit, and it is not necessarily a fit "issue". Certainly in this case, it does not look like they are a result of a *functional problem* that would affect support or comfort, and they are minor enough that I would not expect them to be an aesthetic problem (showing through a shirt). It looks like it fits well enough that I am not sure another size would work better.

  • I'm glad to know the wrinkles aren't a big issue! Pretty sure a cup size down will be too small as I had spillage in the 28F Jasmine which is supposed to have even more room at the apex and top than the Hettie.
