Maybe a little picky, but it can help.

Today I read a post of bra science by 'The Photog's Brog' (the link below). And suddenly I know the main issue of my recent post of fitting help about Cleo Marcie (link: http://bra.pe/T9h/), even the awful fit of the both Freya bras I have had.

I have even to FoB and close boobs, but they are also a little splayed at the bottom. Cleo Marcie has a narrow gore width at bottom, so it makes the slight wrinkle that I mentioned in the fitting help. Many Freya bras may be very shallow at apex, so they are suitable for the typical FoB shape with less top fullness.

So please measure the cup depth at apex and the gore width at bottom to make sure the bra fits your shape perfectly (and additionally for Jj : please improve the measurements system if it is possible).

Thank you for reading.

  • I always measure the cup depth three ways, though it’s usually the same result in two of the three if not all. Wearing the bra, I see the deepest bit, and then over my knee I measure with the bra facing me, and the wires (back) facing me. I also tend to add a little bit of tension to flex the wires some. As for the gore, I follow the instructions on the site and measure at the top. I agree that it would be nice to have a field of the width at the bottom though, demonstrating the angle.

  • I have the opposite problem, and have just started to realize the importance of gore width at top and bottom. If the wires splay out too much at the bottom, I end up with wires sitting on the tissue because there's not enough room for my center fullness at the bottom.
