For our Bratabase fans
We couldn't get to all of you here on Bratabase, so we would like to comment on some of the topics on here in this post.
Yes, we are starting to get sizing correct, why are we starting to get better? Because in the beginning, we will be worried we are giving cups too big, but we realized that there's no cups too big for this Bratabase, only cups too small. After throwing that thought out the window, we are starting to get the hang of it.
Another post talked about cup structure. Yes cup structure is important, meaning cup support to the weight of the breast is a main part of what we do, but how the support is designed and where it supports the breast is important as well. A lot of bras can stand up by itself when put on a table, but how it is done and how it effects the support of the breast is important as well. You can see that even though our cups stand on the table it doesn't stand like normal bras, this is because we reinforce different parts of the bra cups rather than having the whole bra cup being reinforced.
Still on the topic of cup support, one of our clients posted our full cup bra. This is one of the reasons why we highly recommend the lacie bra than the full cup bra. We understand that this client can't wear our lacie bras so we are doing the best we possibly could to cater to this situation which is sewing little paddings at the bottom to "try" and lift the breast as best as possible given the design limitations of the bra. Breasts are like "Jello", especially for big breasted individuals since tissue is usually looser and less firm (again, we are not saying this is EVERYONE), they will take on the shape of the bra when worn so it is best to find bra designs that are uplifting and supportive at the bottom. Full cups, no matter how they are designed, are just inadequate for this situation.
What we have noticed is, if the bra cups are not reinforced and using thin fabrics (most full cup bras), the bra cups will take on the shape of the breast, but if the cups are reinforced (molded cups or our cups), the breast will take the shape of the cups.
Again, this might not be the case for you but a general observation over the years.

I must ask you however if you've heard of what we call orange in a glass? That happens when the bottom of breast is larger than the cups so that they push the wires and hence the whole bra down.
If the root of the breasts are wider than the bras this will happen even in your bras. It took me about a week for it to happen in your bra but the only way to make it not happen is by stopping scoping and swooping.
I think this is a new issue for you in the larger sizes you are now making and to be fair I think you might have to make new designs if bigger boobs are to be held. This is also especially true if you want the bra to be as projected as possible since the further out from our chest frame our boobs lay the more pressure will be pushed on the bonings in the bottom as well.
On me posture countour cracks. My best answer to why is too much projection compared to too small cups.
But I inherited the bra so it wasn't a fault of your fitting. I just wanted to give a heads up on the issue :)
"cracks", can you explain that in detail?
Thanks
And yes, we are making bigger cups so to prevent this issue.
