Didn't fit

This is both my first unlined bra and my first 28 band (thanks for the swap waffleknit ). While there were a lot of things wrong about this bra, I think I'm going in the right direction.

Pro:
- my boobs look surprisingly good (read: full) considering this is an unlined bra. I wasn't into the shape at first, but now I'm kind of digging it.
- aside from the sternum-poking (see below) it was easy to forget this bra was on. There was minimal adjusting throughout the day.

Con:
- my roots are too tall and/or my boobs are too FOT for this model, especially when I swoop and scoop. It becomes less noticeable as I lose the swoop, but it is definitely not an ideal shape.
- that also leads me to wonder if this is not the correct size and I should be wearing a 28DD.
- the underwires dig into my sternum. I've never had the problem of a band being too tight before, so perhaps this will fix itself if I keep wearing it?
- it is pink. Ugh.

I won't be getting rid of this one in a hurry because it's oddly comfortable and definitely closer to fitting than my 30Cs and Bs, but I think I'm going to look into half-cups to avoid the cutting in on top that I got here.

    at least in bigger sizes, Marcie is considered very full-on-top friendly. So I wonder if it is a size problem? Also, you can try wearing an extender to see if the band is just a tad too tight, and you can also try bending the wires so they dont poke.

  • Hmm yeah, that definitely makes me wonder if a DD would be a better fit.

  • If you've found bras that fit better (since this post is really old!) I would LOVE to buy this from you!

Fit information

On Jul 2015

cups are too closed on the top and probably too small in general

Center gore comfort:
Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too high
Top of the cup:
Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
