I now own too many bras, it's official. And I never thought I'd say it.

So, oops.

Today I received 6 bras in the mail. Oops. 3 CK's I ordered from Zulily, a Kris Line I bought from Zulily, a Kris Line I bought from another bratabase user, and an EM.

2/3 CK's are too small in the cup (both 28H). I bought a 28HH and two 28Hs (currently running between 28 & 30, so I prefer loose 28s like CK or tight 30s like Ewa), and annoyingly the 28Hs are a bit too small in the cup. My Romance in 28H fits well still, so I thought I'd be okay, but I guess the Emily's a bit different. Oh well, I really only bought the white ones (the 28Hs) so I could try dying them. Can't wait to get my hands on some lingerie dye!

The zulily Kris Line (the Charlotte) is gorgeous and fits pretty well in 65HH. I'd heard they run about 2 cup sizes smaller than UK brands, so I kept that in mind when ordering and thus ordered the 30HH. 65 band is fine, but I do wear it on the 3rd set of hooks (the Charlotte actually has 4 sets, so I have a bit of room to tighten as necessary).

The bratabase Kris Line (the Cornelia Semi Soft) is far too big in the band at a 70H, but I definitely knew that would be the case. It's so stretchy though that I think it's closer to a 34 than 32. I'll definitely be altering it to fit me.

The EM SM Wrozka in a 65GG arrived today as well, and while I find that the cups are a bit small (I could probably use a 65H really, but that is now special order), it's a pretty good fit. Not a huge overspill at all. Band is pretty firm, which is good for me. I am sure it'll loosen up a bit with wear, but it's pretty great for now.

So all in all, I am fairly pleased with my bras, but I definitely have ordered too many. I have another 2 Ewa's on the way at some point, and plan to take part in another group order and get 2 more. Yipes.

Maybe I *do* have a problem....
