My breasts are center-full, pendulous, FOB, and I have a lot of squish in my band measurement. My center-fullness is usually my dominant fit requirement. I suspect I have somewhat short roots, and narrow-to-average roots for my size. I also have narrow, somewhat sloped shoulders.

Oh, I want to like this bra so much, but I really do need it in a 34JJ, I think. Unlike 36HH - Sculptresse » Candi Full Cup Bra (9375) , the band is quite loose and stretchy. I can easily wear it on the last set of hooks. Sculptresse calls it a full cup bra and I suppose it isn't a balconette, but it does have a lower, more rounded neckline than say, Elomi Cate or whatever. Because the band is loose and the wires a bit wide, I do spill out of the top of the cup a little on my larger breast. It's sort of hard to describe but it's not that the cups are too small, exactly, so much as i have very soft tissue and the fit of the whole bra is just oh so slightly off.

The appearance and quality is lovely. I do with the straps were removable or adjustable. TBH, looking at the construction of the bra, there's no reason they couldn't be. ETA - by straps I meant the strappy detailing across the top of the cups, not the, you know, bra straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

• Hi! I just received this bra in the mail and feel the same as you about the band. I'm starting to wonder if I should have taken the 34J (but I predict spillage, as I'm FOT) or the 34JJ (but I feel those cups would be too big). I just want the center gore to sit flat against my chest, like my 36J Panache Jasmine does. What would you suggest?

• Bragirl808 Hey there! Unfortunately 36 is the smallest band size it comes in. :(

  If it did come in 34 bands, I would ask how the cups fit you. If they fit okay, I would try the 34JJ first because it it is a sister size of 36J and therefore have roughly the same proportions, whereas the 34J would be just straight up going down a band size.

• Aaah, ok - then I will sadly just have to send it back :( I had tried on a 36H at a store near me; the band was alright but the cups were much too small. Such a shame! I really wish bra companies would start ALL their bras at a 34" band. Thanks so much for your help! :)
