Bra fitting help » Slight gapping at the tops of the cups, should I buy a 32E.
Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) » 34DD 34:5
Issue resolved
I purchased this bra in a 32 dd, and it fit me.
Original problem
I recently bought this beautiful bra from Panache. And I have to say that this forum and reddit have truly helped me. This bra, even though the sizing is off is the best fitting bra that I have ever purchased.
Unlike my other bras, I am not having any issues with empty space at the bottom of the cups. Now I am having a slight issue with me not being able to fill in the cups of this bra all of the way at the top. Additionally, the band is too large for me. Should I look for bras that have less fabric on top?
I am assuming that I have bottom heavy breasts, and that is why I have issues with filling out the tops of the bra. I did purchase this bra in a 34E and I do have an issue with not being able to fill out the tops of the bra, as well.
I should mention that in both of these bras, I cannot fully fill out the tops of the bras, but the bottom of my breasts are fully encased in the bottom cups of the bra!
So to recap:
1). Is it recommended that I go down to a 32 band?
2). Should I buy the bra in a 32 E or a 32 DD?
3). What types of bras do you recommend for full on bottom breasts like mine?

helpfulThis cup is just plain too big--that's why it is wrinkling. Compare its depth (10") to your horizontal perimeter (9"). If the 34 band is riding up on you then, yes, you want to try a 32. I suspect you're sort of between the 32 and the 34, so you may need to use an extender with the 32, but that's not a big deal
So, a 32DD seems like a logical next step.The fact that you only fill the bottom unfortunately doesn't mean much about your shape: as gravity only works one way, if a cup is deep enough, the bottom of the cup is where your breast will end up--regardless of upper and lower fullness or whether the cup fits or not. The only thing I can tell about your shape here is that it's fairly projected, and the breast root is not particularly tall.

My concern is that a 34D or 32DD in this will likely have too narrow wires for you.
-
If the wires are too narrow Teremaailma, then what kind of bra should I purchase then? Should I stick with a brand like curvy kate instead of Panache, and just purchase their bras in 32 dd or 34 D? Thanks.

I don't know how we can be sure that the wires would be too narrow for you in 1 size down... It's always a possibility of course when you are sizing down, but unless you can tell that the 34DD wire is as narrow as you can go (no space whatsoever between the outer breast crease and the wire) you pretty much have to try in order to find out.

Ok then, I can try the bra on again later on today.
Ok then thanks I will be sure to exchange the sizes!
