Bra fitting help » Improper shape or too small?
Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) » 32G 32:9
Issue resolved
Cleo just isn't a good fit for me in general.
Original problem
I love the idea of this bra, but it is obviously too small around the band and I have a major case of side boob that no amount of swoop and scoop will fix. The cups are filled and the lace lays flat, but scooping and swooping leads to quading. My breasts aren't super shallow but they are fairly soft. I think I need wider wires but other than that I am lost. Any suggestions?

helpfulCan you upload some more photos with an extender? A too-tight band distorts the cup and makes everything fit weirdly. If you can ease the tension on the band I think people will be able to offer more meaningful feedback. It would also help you to fill in more measurements (Vertical and Lying breast perimeter and Frame width) because people may be able to make better bra recommendations for you that way.

littlehenwoo if 34FF still has the side breast tissue escaping, the following may be happening:
1. your roots are too broad for the Lucy
2. your breasts are too far apart for the Lucy
3. bothI think that with you, it is a case of #1.

I think you need a different shape. I had the same issues. Try a Cleo Marcie in the same size.

Yeah I tried the 34FF and while the roots aren't escaping I just don't love it. I'm having trouble uploading the pictures for some reason, but here is a link to my ABTF post. http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/2xq5br/fit_checkrecomendations_panache_jasmine_curvy/

helpfulHi,
your roots are placed low on your body and therefore you need taller wires. If pulling it up doesn't work or makes you spill, you can try a bigger cup to see if the wires are longer, but it might just be an incompatible bra for your shape.Updated on October 17, 2015 Flag this
I already returned the bra, but a Cleo Lily in a 34FF band had the same issue with the side boob, if that helps. I will get the other measurements soon!
