Didn't fit

Going to do a full review of this later this week when I have a 60F to compare, but as of now I will just note that the 65F is super comfortable, but has a few fit issues.

Notably:
The band seems very big-not to say that it isn't TTS. This isn't a huge bother to me as it once was. It isn't flimsy or cheap; it is great quality as Comexim always provides. It doesn't feel like the band isn't even there, it isn't riding up, and it doesn't feel like thin elastic or anything like that. It is simply that I probably need a 60 band. Or could at least use one.

I know your support comes from the band, and I can stick my entire hand under it, so it's not the most supportive thing for me. However, my boobs have lost most of their weight, so I don't find it terribly problematic.
I guess this is a good sign for my 60F on the way, which I bought after being offered, because I suspected that it might fit better in both band and cup.

Not a super good sign for my 65E's on their way from Comexim, but, I suppose I can always re-sell and re-order if I got bands that were too big. I'm also not sure if this is something specific to the Ingrid. We shall see.

The cups are another thing. Lately I haven't been wearing cups to cover my tail of spence.
This could be why I can wear 2 cup sizes down as opposed to just 1, after not losing as much weight as should result in 2 whole cups. My previous bras in 65G and 30E always covered my TOS. My boobs fit well in those; regardless of the fact that they also covered the TOS, they had no issues with gaping, and I had more upper tissue than I do now.
Now I feel like my boobs are just floating around in cups that cover both my boob and TOS. They don't follow the same lines and curves, and my tail of spence goes up much higher than my boobs. Trying to cover both just does not work since losing so much upper tissue.

If I try to have a bra cover my tail of spence, the bra ends up too high and deep on top for my boobs, which makes them float a little. This has been a HUGE issue with my EM bras, which is why I am currently sticking to small CH bras.

This means I either need a true half cup bra in 65F/60G, or to try out a 65E/60F, which is what I've decided on. However, the wires on smaller bras fit me MUCH better and result in a much nicer shape.
So, I don't care. I believe TOS is breast tissue, but it doesn't work inside of my cups anymore, and I don't honestly think it needs to be there. It also isn't so pronounced on myself that I mind it much.

Anyway, more on the actual Ingrid in an update! Will leave a link here and on my 60F https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Edit:cups are almost definitely lowered https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    My TOS is well pronounced and drives me batty, but I agree it doesn't belong in a bra. If I found a bra to cover it, it would be in my armpits and the cups would be huge on top. I've lost ~10 lbs lately and only maybe half a cup size, but ALL of my upper fullness. So now most of my bras are too tall, including all my Comexim plunges and even my CK Bardot :-( I still swim around in the plunges because it'll be a cold day in hell before I get rid of my poison ivy or brigitte, but the half cups' height is much better on me.

  • lcl0706 Aw, I'm sorry :( I hate it when you get a good fit and then gain or lose a few pounds and it just throws everything off Dx

    Haha I feel the same about my Geisha! Luckily that is still available to order though. Will probably be replaced once I am positive what it is I really need, but honestly if it ever sold out I'd keep the 65F xD

    Offhand, do you know the difference between cup height in the PL and HC cuts?
    I ordered one HC and have another HC Joy Longline coming in the next few months, so I'm excited to see how those compare to the PL's. It's a shame because I really love the PL shape, but if I find out that's more of my problem than size then I'll be likely just be reordering everything in a halfcup cut.

    I have a 60H Green Velvet 3HC and had a 60H Green Velvet PL. The cup height along the center seam was .25" taller in the PL than the 3HC. The PL will just get taller towards the strap while the 3HC stays close to the same.

  • jlcl119 Thanks for the info! ^_^
    The 3HC actually sounds like exactly what I need then. All of my bras keep gaping near the strap area Dx

    I'll definitely give them a try if the ones I ordered don't work. Probably should have just tried one or two out first to compare, but it appears that I am very impatient/impulsive where bras are concerned xD
    But this gives me a lot of hope about the Yoko that I ordered. :)
