Bra fitting help » Weird dents at top of wires
Cleo » Minnie Balconnet Bra (7431) » 36GG 36:10
Issue resolved
Close, but a bit too wide and tall wings, and band too loose.
Original problem
Ok, I went by measurements and it looked like 36 would be better than 34, but it is too big. I think I'm too FOT, because the bottom part fit ok, maybe wires a bit wide, but major quadboob. I don't know what else to try, as Freya above G was a failure too (see other fit check).

Yeesh, these wires are not designed for boobs with narrow roots. They are going VERY far onto your side.
Oh and I get that weirdness at the top end of the wires in Cleos also. Their wires stop a little low compared to where my breast tissue ends. It's not a dealbreaker but I think this wire width may bother you sooner or later. Is it comfy?

There is no quadboob visible in these pictures. Can you elaborate?

Dang you're right it doesn't show in the pictures. I wonder if it's only there when my arms are down, since I had them raised taking the pic. There was bulging where the red trim meets the white mesh, and a little over the top of the trim. I don't know that my tissue is soft overall, but I have loose skin.

Try this when you put the bra on:
don't overscoop. The wires of all bras except comexim are plenty wide and will not sit on your breast tissue at the side. So when you are putting the bra on, lean over to let your breasts naturally fall into the cup, and then give a very mild scoop with your hand. This will ensure you are not scooping non-breast flesh and skin, which will compromise your fit.
Stand up. Then, holding the straps, give your breasts a healthy shake to get ALL THE WAY into the bottom of the cups,at the underwire. If shaking doesn't work, use your hand to pull the cup upwards on your breast tissue until the breast is all the way at the bottom and the underwire is just under the inframmamary fold.
Then, adjust your straps until they are just tight enough not to fall off. Cleo straps are very short and may have to be let out all the way or even altered longer.
When the bra is on and adjusted, wear it for five minutes to allow your breasts to settle further.
THEN, look at it in the mirror and see if there's quadboob. My guess is there won't be. This looks like a decent fit on you. The in-cup quad is a result of soft tissue and cannot be helped unfortunately.

I'm not sure if the wire width is comfy, because I was bothered by the lack of depth. Or maybe not so much lack of depth as that I'm too FOT for the cup. Search by measurements actually was bringing up 34GG Cleo Marcie and sisters, but I thought 34 might pull the wires like my 34HH Jasmine was. Sigh, I really probably do have to go Polish.
