So I got a curvy Kate today size 28 G and it was too small on bottom half of cup and too big on top half of cup. I tried to fit into it right and wasn't able to so, I am going to sell it on e-bay. I tried on my 28 F Mark and spencer limited edition and it fits with 2 bra extenders on the loosest. LOL Can someone please tell me what that means? Am sizing wrong with all my bras because I have to wear extenders for all of them to get them to fit correctly in the cup. I know for sure I am bottom heavy because of the issues with the Curvy Kate Emily it's brown with lime lace. I was hoping it would fit right. It's kind of sad. Any advice (seeing as I am very new to the right size bra wearing experience) would be very much appreciated. My band measurement is 26.5 comfortably and B perimeter is 10. Thanks so much! I was thinking maybe it was because I was shallow. I have tried on bras that are too small but yet they are all baggy. And then the ones that do fit only fit the cups after I put a bra extender on. the bands aren't too tight cause I tested them backwards but the cups are too tight on all my bras until I loosen the band. Could that mean that I have shallow breasts? They look smaller than they are too. A lot smaller. but it takes more than 2 of my hands to cover all of my breast tissue. The only Curvy Kate that every fit was 28 FF elegance plunge but it was too small. I could in the center where the cleavage was supposed to be the cup was digging in like it was too small. Fantasie Susanna is probably the only bra that really looked right on my girls. The 30 E I had was too small. It was painful to wear. I think I have grown out of a bra that I didn't even wear. Now it's too tight with 1 extender. :/ Right now that best fitting is Pour Moi 28 FF with 2 bra extenders on. Thanks for your help!

  • You could ask for fitting help for any of your Curvy Kate bras and get some more precise advice :)

    28 sounds OK for the band given your back measurement, but then there are tight 28s and loose 28s :-/ ...

  • Marks & Spencer Limited Collection bands tend to run very, very tight. The 28 usually fits like a 26, occasionally even smaller. You're probably right to choose 28 bands in general; you just happened to get a bra that fits very atypically.
