Too Big Band, Too TINY CUPS ugh

This bra is not owned any more

Bought this bra a long time ago when I didn't know my size, so obviously it doesn't fit. It's probably either from Women's Secret, Etam or H&M, but I'm not really sure.

Warner ?Y??A in 30H

I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

The band measured 21.75” to a max of 37” with 2 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 10.75”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 12.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of ... the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

This is another one of my well loved bras from the past. The tag writing is worn off from years of wear, so I have no idea what the model name is, but I am 99% positive it was a UK 30H. I had this one in white, and two in black. It looks very similar to a Warner bra I bought at the same time, which was UK 30H, and I bought them all assuming the ... fit would be the same, which is why I’m sure these were 30H as well.

The band measured 24.5” to a max of 38” with 2 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 11.75”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14”

Yes, I know the gore does not completely tack (it floats around 1 cm, I think). I know the cups should be a little wider (maybe half a cm). But...

Holy mother of all cleavages!

This bra is beautiful, looks nice on me, and gives me, for the first time, a butt-cleavage that does not hurt by smooshing my boobs. I do not get quadboob and I get a decent look under clothes as well. The wires are flexible so they do not hurt, the band is wide and with 4 columns it can be made tighter to increase support, the inner part of the cups is cotton and the lace does not itch.

I am going to keep it. It makes me feel sexy and comfortable.

Note: this bra is marked E75, like this, and seems to be either Chinese or Japanese. Maybe Japanese? I recognize the kanji for below and above, but that's it...

I made this drafting my own pattern, it’s a work in progress.... This is attempt two of original pattern, first try was a complete failure due to sewing with to many distractions, all and all it’s an acceptable draft/base line.
The good: it’s comfortable, amazingly so. The left cup fit is great other than top edging/trim. The band, gore wires all feel good. Straps spaced nicely in back. Wide band and high wings! I want my bra to feel like a warm hug, this has potential.
The bad: I put the hooks/eyes opposite of normal, so I can’t hook it behind my back, or unhook one handed, the cups ... are uneven (barely), made more obvious by the smaller cup being on the bigger breast, also because my breast are crooked. Straps to far apart in front. Cup seam should hit center, it is to low, on redrafted cups pattern bottom is taller, hopefully that fixes it.
The weird: The center comes up further than the wires, still tacks, still comfortable, wires end about 1.5cm down. The band is sloped up in back, as if the bra was to loose but it’s not to loose, it’s a design issue.
