Hasn't set fit

This is a really close fit for me in terms of projection. I am very projected and pendulous shaped with center fullness (so plunges are a big no) and the lace top is what sold me on this. Normally I fall out of a plunge! The gore almost lays down which is a miracle. Due to my shape I never fill in the bottom of a cup and top tissue is extremely soft from breastfeeding twice. So my right side is about 1-2 cups sizes smaller than my left which often represents a challenge. I've been looking for a replacement for my Elomi Tia because it's discontinued and now I'm spilling out of the top of the old Tia's. My only issue is that (I think) due to the extra fabric I'm getting some rubbing under the arm front of arm area rubbing. Not armpit. Now I'm super sensory sensitive to clothing so am I just hyper focusing and it's a correct fit or what?

  • close? It looks too tall under your arm pits though. Would you consider it wearable? If this were me, I think the chafing would be an issue. I wonder if it could even be altered. the gore doesn't tack as if should, but that's hard to do with some bras. Hmm, "Fit tips for soft breasts" http://butterflycollectionlingerie.blogspot.com/2014/01/bra-fit-tips-for-soft-breasts.html Her blog has lots of interesting info. Interesting how she says make sure you have a medium to tall gore. That's hard to do if a person has close-set breasts though.

  • also, do you think you have a short torso , or high set breasts? http://butterflycollectionlingerie.blogspot.com/2013/10/bras-good-for-short-torsos.html How tall are you?

    After wearing for a few hours I can concur that this is not the bra for me. The projection is better than others I've tried but the excess cup just causes too much chafing. I never know how much is *normal* or if I'm just super sensitive.

    BraOdyssey I can't do a high gore at all. It pushes me very east-west and it's uncomfortable. Usually a 2-3 inch is good but then I need something like a lace or foam to put some distance between but not push, I can't stand if they are touching in the center. I didn't realize how close my breasts are together and how slim my ribcage is for my breasts! It's incredibly difficult to find something that fits all the boxes. I also usually will give on a few areas because I have to!

  • This is a stab in the dark, but what about trying a bra like Empreinte Cassiopée Underwired Seamless Bra (07151) They're *not that expensive* if you know your size (so you don't have to exchange it) & you buy them directly from France on sale. Esp. b/c you're in the U.S. and you won't have to pay any duties for imports, like we have to in Canada.

    I saw them marked down at this store https://www.mesdessous.fr/en/77279-private-sales/s-1/brand_2-empreinte?page=3 50% a couple of weeks ago for their "French Days" sale; the sale went on and on for like 10 days, too. The prices were anywhere btwn 43 - 55 euros, IIRC, on their sale Empreinte bras.

    Something to consider, of course I'd probably try them on in the U.S. Unless you wanted to try on while buying them directly from France, and using PayPal "Returns on us"

    I wonder if they would work for you because your breast root on the side doesn't look that wide! Looking at the pictures from the Dalia bra. Even though I know you said your "Holy Grail" bra was Elomi, which is known for having wide wires (not sure if they do that in every style).

    I read this review from Introvert and she found that bra works well for her. https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnl43/

    It's my understanding their G cup is like a UK H cup; that's just from reading reviews. They run deep in the cup (allegedly), I can not comment about their bands though. I have no first-hand experience with the brand a.t.m.

    BraOdyssey the Tia isn’t perfect by any means and the cups are too wide (much side boob) but it was better than what I was wearing prior 2016ish and I’ve always had a chafing issue So I just gave up and kept on with it. Lol

    That sounds like something to look into!
