Nov 21, 2012. Cleo Lucy and Bratabase size suggestions
I´m a little puzzled now.
I got a Cleo Lucy bra in 30E recently. The band was too big and the cups were maybe the right size (and shape!!) or just a hint too small. If too small, definitely not much, very much wearable
I tried to look Bratabase´s measurements and suggestions and that´s where I got a little confused.
If we assume that 30E cups were okay and band too big, I would have to go for 28F, right? Sometimes it is even said that you should add 2 cup sizes, so is it 28FF that´s sister size to 30E? Or is it 28F here?
When checking out 28F Lucy in Bratabase´s listings it says that cups will be too big for me!!! Could this be because of some measuring errors in here? If 30E cups are good (or very slightly too small), then 28F cannot have cups too big for me, can it?? Bratabase says that 28E "might fit", but really, it must be too small in the cups...
What do you suggest would be the right sister size to 30E in this bra model, with tighter band?

i think that the measurement suggestions on here should be taken with a pinch of salt. It doesn't seem all that accurate to me so far.
I don't think that the 28F cups will be too big for you, i think that logically the 28F is the size for you! However, if the 30E is a touch small the FF might be better, although i suspect that the fit will feel different with the correct band.
My advice: Go for the 28F and don't listen too much to the bratabase suggested correct fit! :)
Thanks for the advice, cbear :)
Do you have specific knowledge / experience of Cleo Lucy, that 28F really is the sister size to 30E? If it doesn´t work like that in all bras...
