Didn't fit

The curse of being between two band sizes (30 and 32) is that neither is just right. I was wary of ordering 65GGs for this reason and I was right.

Bm Kleks is a beautiful bra. It sort of looks like a Bm version of the Sf Blueberry? The lace is not the same I don't think, but the bras look very similar.

The cups are your typical Bm cups with stretch lace on top. In this size, it comes with one single vertical seam in the lower part, and horizontal seam on top. The cups feel roomy, *but* this is not a sister size to 70Gs. Neither of the three 65GG bras feel like a 70G with a tighter band. There is considerably less room at the wire and the cups overall feel a lot tighter (and closed on top). The compression is very uncomfortable. It's almost as if I need a 65H in order to fit like my 70Gs do in the cup.

Now I know there have been reports of cups running roomier when sister sizing down. I can honestly say that with every sister size down I bought, I felt the opposite. 80E to 75F > the cups were smaller. 75F to 70FF > the cups were considerably smaller. And now 70G to 65GG, the cups are smaller. I'm writing the sizes out for information on the size range at which this happens.

The band though is where my real issue is. I don't know if I'm just not used to it, but it feels very very tight. So that's where my problem is... the 70 band feels too loose and I have to hook it on tightest hookset. This one feels too tight on the loosest. This game just feels unbeatable : ( The band is so tight I feel like the wires at the gore are angling inwards even though it doesn't look like it. It definitely feels that way. I don't see any considerable distortion on the outside.
On the other hand maybe it's the small cups making it feel so tight. I will do the upside down test later to check.

So really that's it. Good news is this bra might fit perfectly in the future if I lose volume.

  • Aw man that's a bummer about the cups :(

    Do you have an extender to use for the band? So I guess you'll stick with the 70Gs? Is it possible to take in the band on the 70's to your preferred length?

    On a more positive note I do like the colour/pattern on this one ^_^

  • I had Kleks and I think it ran smaller in the cup. I’m sorry it doesn’t fit, it is really pretty.

  • I feel your pain... I'm between cup sizes in EM, and I can never seem to find the right size. Frustrating. Too bad it doesn't fit perfectly... It looks great. I agree with Frazzleberry .. maybe an extender until it breaks in? But if the cups are uncomfortable too, then it's probably not worth keeping.

  • Yeah I'm not sure if an extender would work because the cups are pretty shallow. I'm going to wear it a bit and see. The band is bearable, feels lots more supportive, but the cups my gosh.

    Can't seem to win.

  • Hopefully it will stretch :|

  • Oh, well that's not good if the cups are feeling too small....

  • Oh wow. I’m sorry. It’s so hard! Sister sizing is so inconsistent with her bras, I am told. Though I have heard that it’s still inconsistent with other companies too. Just makes it hard. Sorry to hear about this one not fitting as it is so lovely.

  • It is hard. I literally feel hopeless when it comes to these.

  • I'm going braless

  • In my size ranges, the smaller band sister size was roomier each time. Funny how you have experienced the opposite in your range! Ewa is consistently inconsistent. :-D

    It looks good on you, sorry you don't like the fit. :-/

  • I wish the cups were roomier :(
    I will say tho when I took of the bra all the wire marks and everything was exactly where it should be, but the compression is pretty uncomfortable.

  • I can understand that one completely.
    Sorry honey, I know how uncomfortable an ill fitting cup can be. :-/

    Just curious, were one of these bras the one you had Ewa shorten from the original BF sale to sister size it to the size you needed?
