Bra fitting help » It fits, but looks a little bit strange on the side.
Gossard » Superboost Lace Plunge Bra (7711) » 30F 30:7
This is my new arrived bra that I ordered on amazon this week. I think it all fits. And I can feel my breast tissue filled in the bottom. But it looks poiny on the side, just like the bottom is not quite filled. I don't know why.

helpfulThis looks too small in cup--if you scooped and swooped completely I suspect your breasts would totally spill out into the center--and arguably also the band is a little too tight for you. Gossard is known for having VERY tight bands. The over-tight band is pulling the lower cup even flatter than it would be otherwise (they make the bottom half flat so that it will push the cleavage up and make it look rounder!). I would suggest you try this same bra in a 70FF probably.

Or maybe can I buy a extender, put it on and then try the bra again?

You can definitely try with an extender... but I think it will probably still be too small. Compare the cup depth measurement with your lying-down breast perimeter measurement. You will notice that is a VERY big difference! Plunge bra depth measurements can underestimate the real depth on the body because they are taken diagonally , but this is such a large difference that I think you will still need much more room.
Sorry I accidentally merged the two sizing systems. If you're buying from the same shop, just go up one size in band and one or two cup volumes. I see that LACE puts the UK size in parentheses next to the European one. So if you are buying at LACE, you would select 70G European (32F UK) or 70H (32FF UK) depending on how much more room you think you need in the cup.

Thank you. I have taken another shot, you can see picture #4. I wonder if the cups are too tall for me when I try a 30FF?

helpfulLooks like there isn't enough projection at the wire. You say that you can feel your breasts filling the bottom of the cup, but it doesn't look like they are down in there. The wire doesn't seem to be in your intramammary fold and that it is slipping down your rib cage to let your breasts find the space they need, which they are finding at the apex of the cup. Gossard bras do that to me too. I've also tried that bra and found it too shallow at the wire.

Thank you. Maybe you have some suggestions for the plunges? Or should I get another size?

"Breasts together"? Hmmm...that usually only happens when breasts are naturally very close set or when a bra is too small.
I personally have not yet found a plunge with cups that have enough projection at the wire, however, a lot of girls on here find a great fit in Ewa Michalak plunges and I have ordered one, so we will see. Some other girls on here also LOVE Comexim plunges and find they have sufficient projection.
Another route is to try the CHP cut from Ewa Michalak - that gives a different kind of "cleavage" - more up, rounded and the "cakes on a plate" look. This style I have had a lot of success with.

I like the Ewa Michalak PL (plunge) and Comexim’s plunge, though I find that the latter is a bit too tall for me in the cups.
-
And I agree with AprilGoulding that its too shallow...you can see it in the first picture.

helpfulIt’s not you, it’s the bra. I got the same pointy look when I tried it on too.

Thank you for the answer. Maybe you have some suggestions? I'd like to buy a plunge or a balcony bra because I want to make my breasts together on the middle of the ribcage to get a pretty look, but the comfortable wearing is also important to me.
-
Do you want suggestions on padded/lined bras or unlined? I am a similar size to you.
-
You can try this one.
Maybe this one but it might be too shallow still.
-
I think you are right. The band is very tight, as you can see It's only 0.5 cm longer than my tight ribcage.
Maybe I should try the band of 70, but I'm not sure the 70FF you mean is a euro size or a UK size? Because in Germany we have only 70F or 70G, and the mesurements are also a little bit different from the UK size. Hier is a international size chart from Lace.de:

By the way, thanks very much for your always help. Will follow you.
