Masquerade » Rhea (6121) » 32FF 32:8
Issue resolved
I got the 34FF in the mail today and I think it fits! The band is ever so slightly looser than I'd like (the cups may be as well), but overall, it's much better.
Original problem
(Sorry to post a second fitting question, but) I love this bra! And I have a hunch that, if I found the right size, it would be a great style for me.
Unfortunately, the 32FF smashes my breasts. The band also fits like a 30 (at most). Would a 34FF work? Or would the cups still be too small?

That bra definitely runs smaller in the band, my 28 fits more like a 26. The cup is very open at the top and tends to be more accommodating, but it is definitely much too small for you. You've also got some wrinkling along the side of the cups which you should not have. I am wondering if the wire may be a little short and not quite wide enough for you. A 34 will probably work out better, and you'll definitely want a FF, but also possibly a 34G.

This bra runs really small in the band. If it feels too small you probably should try a 34-band. However, there is also an issue with this bra not having an awful lot of stretch in the back, so it might be that it isn't stretchy enough to be comfortable and firm on you at the same time.
When it comes to the cups I don't think you need more than one cup size up. It looks too small, but not much. This style should give cleavage and give quite a lot of skin exposed so you are not that far off.
A 32G should be enough in the cups, and a 34FF is the same but larger in the back so it should be okay in the cups too.

I agree that the cups might not be wide enough, though maybe your arms are pulling your breasts up, causing the lack of mass in the bottom of the cups?
In any case, if you're leaning towards this style, also think about Curvy Kate's Thrill Me/Tease Me styles.

I also have the Rhea (34FF), and I hear you on the band being really tight (I originally ordered a 32G).
The bottom of the cup doesn't look very full, would pulling the bra up higher help, or is your breast tissue just too firm to fill the cup?

Is the band uncomfortable? I think the general rule of thumb is if you can get it hooked and you don't feel like you're being cut in half, it'll work itself out as long as it doesn't crawl towards your waist.
How does it fit in the bottom of the cup? It looks like your boobs are pushing the band down in an effort to make a bit more room, leaving a hollow spot at the bottom.
I'd go up a cup or two (if you've got that hollow, try two) with the same band, one size larger in the band if you're uncomfortable.

This band is cutting me in half. :) But my other Masquerade bra in a 32 band is almost loose... strange!

Interesting... Different batch of elastic, perhaps?

I just ordered the bra in a 34FF, so hopefully that will work!
