New bras! (and FB questions?)

I got three new bras in the mail today! I'll do full reviews in a bit but...

The first was actually a Parfait Charlotte in a 36K that I bought firstly because it was cheap with Prime and secondly because I just wanted to try UK bras again. It looked comically large taking it out of the package but unfortunately was definitely the right size. The cups are too tall though and it dug into my armpit so its going back. That one was really a longshot anyway.

The second was a PL Triumf in a 36KK. I haven't tried a PL in 4 cup volumes now and actually the last one I bought was too big when I got it anyway. I was shocked by how well it fit and how nice it looked on! This one is definitely a keeper!

The last was the FB Szafirowa Pantera in a 36K. I normally get my unlined bras a cupsize smaller than my lined bras and I had heard at some point that the FB cups tend to run a bit big. Unfortunately this one had some quadding, so I think it was about a cup size small (if anyone wants to look at the pics I posted and try to tell me that its two cup sizes small and I wouldn't be ridiculous for buying the clearance 36L one that Zathiya has though, please don't hesitate!) It felt good on and I think I could definitely really like this cut in the proper size, so I'll likely be trying again with it.

For my question, does anyone with FB experience know if the cups normally run smaller than most other unlined cups or if this was just a one off? I had always heard that they run a bit big but I think this fits about the same as my 34K SFs which I wasn't expecting.

  • I mean, its so hard to tell with her. I'm currently wearing my 75K - Ewa Michalak » S Mojito (828) , and I dont quad - but S is so open on top in this size range. My 70KK - Ewa Michalak » S Rokoko fits better and the cups are much larger . . .despite being a sister size. My 75KK - Ewa Michalak » Fb Szafirowa Pantera (1009) is a little loose on the top half of the cup, but fits well - really comfortable and much more secure than either of those Ss - even tho it should be 2 cup sizes larger.

    I remember early reviewers saying it ran large in the cup, but definitely this particular model seems not to.

  • dbmamaz I guess it really doesn't help that we both have the same model haha. I wish there was anywhere that had either an 80KK or another model of the FB in stock so I could try them out... I'm really eyeing the 80L Pin Up...
