i keep trying with Orla, and i keep failing. i thought if i tested enough sizes, one would work, but i think i am officially giving up. even if i found the right cup + band size combo, i think the construction of Orla wont work for me.

This bra is an all around terrible fit. the band needed an extender just to be tried on, and im comfortably wearing either stretchy 32s or tight 34s most days, so it looks like i would have to size up 2 bands to even fit into it.

The cups gape quite a lot, at least a whole cup size. my best guess is that i would need something like a 38G/FF? the cup itself is also too wide. the gore is hellishly high, as are the wings, which has been the same across all the sizes ive tried.

My main fitting beef is that the straps are wider set than any bra i have ever tried on. my arms feel like they are begin torn off! even with my arms straight at my sides and not forward, they dig horrendously and it is excruciatingly painful.

i had such high hope for Orla- i want an unpadded half cup! but shes going back https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
