Bra fitting help » Flipping Gore and Wrinkling
Freya » Ivy Balcony Bra (1332) » 28GG 28:10
Issue resolved
filled out over time and weight gain, flipping gore was the alteration
Original problem
This bra has a weird problem where the wires in the gore are sort of flipping over on top of each other, which can get uncomfortable and leave marks after a while. I did get this bra used and the gore has been slightly altered (there's a seam on the inside) to make it narrower, but before I resort to actually taking the alteration out I was just wondering if there might be another possible reason for this happening? Has anyone had this happen before on a non-altered bra?
There's also the wrinkling and gaping, which you can see pretty clearly. This is weird to me since this bra is both shallower and and narrower than my CK Princess, which also wrinkles at the top, but a whole lot less. I think it might be because the fabric of this cup goes a lot higher up on the breast, where I think I'm shallow on top. Even though it's a balcony it feels more like a full coverage.

helpfulMaybe if you pull the band down a tad more in the back the top of the cups would wrinkle less. I just noticed the band higher in the back than it is in the front.

helpfulI havent seen that - it looks kinda odd all around, except I think it gives you a nice shape under clothing. You are so projected I wonder if there are any half-cups that would work better for you? wendybien does that make any sense?

helpfulI think it's the alteration, can you post a pic of the front of the bra lying flat so we can see the gore alteration while it is not on you?

helpfulMy unaltered non-plunge Bravissimo gores tend to do that, since I'm quite close-set.

I have a Freya » Morning Meadow Plunge Balcony Bra (1411) unaltered and the same thing happens...almost like 1 gore overlaps in a kinda perpendicular way? It works in my favor because even a single underwire is too wide for my close set boobs...but I thought it was a result of my shape not the bra. Maybe it's the bra after all.
