Bra fitting help » Lace wrinkles, too projected?


Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) » 28E 28:6

Issue resolved

Decided this bra was slightly too projected for me.

Original problem

I thought this bra fit really well at first; however, I have noticed some issues:

I don't really care for the shape it gives me. It's a bit pointy, you an particularly tell in the angled photo.

Additionally, I think I may be a bit too shallow for this bra. Perhaps that is part of the shape problem. The gore does lay on breast tissue a bit. It tacks at the bottom, but at the top on one side touches my sternum while the other lays on breast tissue. It does not hurt or bother me, though.

The lace wrinkles where the lace meets the cup, which shows under clothes. This could be because of my lack of adequate projection or because of my tall roots perhaps?

My shape characteristics that (I think) I have figured out so far:
Tall roots, wide roots, shallow, center full. My best fit thus far is a cleo maddie, but I only have it in 28DD and it is too small. I also filled out Freya Deco Plunge quite well (28DD), but the wires were awful! Too narrow.

I will be very thankful for any recommendations or information that you guys can offer!
