My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

This bra is really cute, however it’s way too big on me (I think I received a mislabeled bra because when I compare the measurements entered here, the cup depth is much too large and I can fit my whole hand in the top part). I initially got this because the gore seemed low enough to maybe work, but it is too separate and sits on my breast tissue. The straps are pretty wide, a little bit wider and they would definitely be a problem.

Blue colorway

This bra is not owned any more

  If you add photos of you wearing the bra, "we" can help guide you to find bras that will suit you better ;)

  If you're close set and center full, CK most likely won't work. They have wide gores (like most UK brands) and not much projection at the wire.

  Thank you AprilGoulding that’s very kind of you! I don’t think I have pics for this bra, but I do have for a Freya bra I tried this week that almost fit perfectly, just the gore and band were the problem. I will try to post those for a fit help. I am definitely still trying to figure out my shape, I may be way off, lol!

  If gores are a problem, I suggest going to Polish bras...Gorsenia, Ewa Michalak. You'll find narrow wires and space for center fullness.
  For reference, IF a UK bra were to ever fit me, I'd be 30F/FF. Which is the sister size to 32E.
  In Gorsenia and EM I wear 65G.

  Princess is a hard bra to fit, from what I understand. AprilGoulding i tend to disagree. I am center full and close set and the Ellace fits me well (when I have the right size...mine is too small now). It is dependent upon the style, I think. Some are wide and shallow and others are narrow and projected.

• AprilGoulding Thank you. Yes, I’ve been thinking about that option! I think some polish bras may work well, just daunting to have to order. I’m thinking of ordering from Magda since she helps so many users here. I finally got the courage to post a bra fit request here: http://bra.pe/T7v/

• Calluna I like the look of the Ellace too. It's actually on my list to try, thank you for reminding me. From what I saw here on batabase though, the gore comes up very high, but maybe it could still work! Honestly, I'll try pretty much anything if I can get it and return it since I'm trying to figure out my shape still. I posted a bra fit request here (finally got the courage!): http://bra.pe/T7v/ This is wearing a Freya bra, I deleted the pics from me trying on this bra since it was so big. I realize now that maybe I should have kept them to compare.

  A higher gore can actually be better than a lower one for close set breasts IF it is narrow enough.

  My Ellace gore was shorter than my Marcie gore and I think both are the same width at the top. Have you also considered reverse scooping to get any trapped tissue back into the cup instead of under the wire? I know that with my Marcie, I have a tiny bit of wires sitting on tissue but it’s not a huge fit issue for me as it does not hurt.

  Calluna Thank you for suggesting reverse scooping! I didn’t even think of trying that. I will try doing that with some of the new bras I ordered.
