Bra fitting help » Cup too big; another style?
Kinga » Nati Ii (BC-451) » 85F 38:6
Issue resolved
Bought and waiting for other bras suggested!
Original problem
As usual my cup is a problem. The bra cookie did absolutely nothing to help this bra. I think the cups are massively too big. Wondering if I should try a different Kinga style? I didn’t fill out the bottom of the cup either.

helpfulI think it’s more of a shape mismatch. The cups seem to be the correct volume but they’re too tall for your short roots. I find padded styles a tricky fit even when they have seams. The tops are always too open for me in the right size but if I size down the gore doesn’t tack. My breasts are pendulous and semi soft. They don’t seem to want to fit the shape of a padded cup. I suspect it’s the same for you, and you’re too projected for this particular bra.
An 85 band is too long for you. I think your best band size is 34 and certainly no larger than 36. In European sizing that’s 75 and 80 respectively.
Have you tried any Curvy Kate? They’re generally good for short roots. I know cupandahalf has helped you before, her breast shape is similar and she wears a lot of them.
Polish bras tend to have narrow wires and tall cups. The narrow part suits your shape but the tall part doesn’t.

Yes and I appreciate the help. With plunge bras I fall out so those aren’t really helping either. Honestly I’m just looking for something that’s lighter and less intense than my current wire bra. The gore will probably never tack and the right side top cup will be mostly empty. I currently live with that.

The Comexim plunge in 75L has a higher gore than this bra, so it's not that plungey. CK Ellace is also a great choice, lots of center and forward room and a stretch lace top so it fits different sized boobs. It's also nice and lightweight.

Okay I got the CK Ellace today and I'm wearing it now but I need some help so i'm opening a ticket. I *think* it fits but it's very different so I'm unsure if it's because it fits properly and I'm just not used to that OR it doesn't fit.

I hope it fits! I'll take a look once it's up.

helpfulI agree. the band is way too big. The cups are not too big, only too tall. Also with your breasts being omega-shaped, you might not find bras that fit your breasts like a glove. You might need to focus on bras that support your breasts, look good under clothing, and dont hurt.

helpfulI think with cups this much bigger than you need, shape issues can be hard to determine. I also don't know a lot about Kinga bras in particular, so if someone else could contribute their knowledge about this, that'd be great. If you decide to try this bra again in a different size, I'd say that you should go down at least two cup sizes as well as a band size. I'd recommend an 80E.
The only thing that really makes me hesitate here is the gore. My thought is that, because you have so much space in the cups, your breasts are spilling towards the center and preventing the gore from tacking. You could also just have close set breasts that gores might not ever play nice with (in this case, if Kinga has any plunges, you might find these more comfortable), but I'm not quite sure. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks! Appreciate your thoughts. Every single time I order a plunge I fall out, so generally avoid those. This was my first experience with Kinga. I don’t expect the gore to lie completely flat. That’s just never happened.

Yes, my recommendation is to try Curvy Kate and Comexim. Comparing your measurements to the cup, I don't think this bra is too big. My small side is two cups smaller than my large side and I generally just ignore the loose cups or look for stretch lace tops or more closed tops. I also tried sizing down for a long time because bras were too tall but once I got the right cup size (three cups bigger than I thought I was) for my big boob I ignored the small one when fitting.
For Comexim, try the Basic plunge (free shipping and returns through Breakout bras) in 34/75L.
For Curvy Kate try Ellace in 34G or Lifestyle in 34G or GG. You can also try Charm in the same sizes. Do not try their padded bras, you'll only be sad.
