Bra fitting help » Cup Fit?
Parfait By Affinitas » Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) » 34FF 34:8
Issue resolved
Thanks everybody for your input. I kept this one too, but sadly, it is a bit too big now, because I have lost weight. The cup still seems fine though, so I may just shorten the band.
Original problem
I am having a hard time determining bra cup fit. I generally know when the band is not right. Just having an issue with cup fit. I am too used to seeing crazy cleavage to be an accurate judge.

helpfulI am sorry, Stepane but your photos aren't showing much - it's hard to help.

The front view is ok. Need side views (with arms included:) and maybe an angle view? It's good to see where underwire is.

helpfulIt's difficult to tell if the cups are a hair too small here- I found this bra ran small in both the band and cup. Everything looks properly filled out for you, and the shape seems to flatter you well.
Does it need readjusting constantly or just once or twice a day?Updated on September 26, 2012 Flag this

I think this is one of the better ones. I don't believe I have to be readjusted much. I think I am just working out the bugs on the straps.

helpfulIt doesn't look too far off. Have you scooped all your tissue into the cups? Hard to tell without a side view, and an angled shot, which shows where the underwire is sitting. http://www.bratabase.com/pages/fittinghelp/ is great for seeing which photos will help most.
When you take your bra off at the end of the day, are there slight marks left by it? You can use those to judge where the wire is sitting. if the line is on breast tissue, the cup is probably too small. If it's miles away from your tissue, it's too big/wrong shape for you. If it's not on the tissue, but right on the border between boob and non-boob, then you're fine.
A picture of the back would help with band sizing, but the bra does look like it fits. Try scooping all your tissue into the cups, and see if you need a bigger cup or not.
Good luck

Understood. Any suggestions? I had my boyfriend took these sitting at the edge of the bed.... Not exactly the best angle. Is it my absent arms? The side view?
