Bra fitting help » Freya Lauren fit issue
Freya » Lauren Balcony Plunge (4822) » 28F 28:7
Issue resolved
Okay, okay, I'll accept the letter G from now on.
Original problem
This is Freya Lauren in the colour Lupin (28F). There's a little quadboob in the right cup, but I can live with that.
Side spillage...I don't know. From the pictures it seems that I have major armpit fat, but in reality they seem to be fine. Maybe it's because of the angle+movement? How would you define "no armpit fat"?
I just want to check if this bra is good for my boobs. So, what do you ladies think? Thank you!

Yeah, there is no way this cup size fits you! But in the right size the colour is very pretty.
Your perimeter and the depth of the cup should clue you in to the fit problem, for future purchases!

bra depth vs. perimeter depends on the cup construction, how much stretch the bra has and how firm your boobs are.
The firmer your boobs are there will generally be less difference in the two measures, so I'm guessing you will be needing at least 24 cm in cup depth.But be sure to count in the wire width. For instance, a bra with 14 cm underwires and 24 cup depth might fit, but also a bra with 23 cm deep cups and 15 cm wide underwires could fit too :)
Anyway, don't break your head around this - once you get your right size you will know what to look for in the future :) -
Gotcha. Thanks!

What She (Vee!) said! The cup depth should be pretty close to your perimeter, otherwise where are you going to put all that boob?!
It is fairly scientific on here, but i think that if you cannot try bras on IRL, then measurements are the best way to make an educated guess without spending loads of money!
Like Vee said, there is a bit of scope on wire width and cup depth, depending on how wide you like / need your wires.

Hmmm alright. Thank you! :)

I think you have no business with F cups ever again
Time to accept the letter G. )Updated on December 27, 2012 Flag this

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! *runs into the corner and weeps*
I kid.
I don't even know how I lived with 34C all these years............. *cries*

If it's any consolation, I was stuffing my 30jj's in 34e bras for years :) God bless the internet :)

God bless ebay as well.

One question about swooping and scooping method. After I swooped and scooped, the cups wrinkled, so I should smooth them, right? After smoothing this bra, I don't have noticeable quadboob. Ummmmm soooooooooooo ahhh I'm confused. :S
-
Where do they wrinkle?
-
The top section.
Also, if after s&s, there's an empty space at the bottom, should I push the underwires above so it goes directly to the root of the breasts?
-
Could you put pictures up of that process please?
Yes, you should adjust the wires and/or the straps after scooping. -
Done taking pictures! But how do I add pictures here?

Vee: Oh no you didnt?! (About you wearing 34E bras) It's even worse than me :O I at least wore 34F :D Well ok, after I got 32 years old. In your age I settled for 36C-D :D
Where the h-ll were your boobs by then? :D Those bras must have killed you? :O Or was it the same for you as for me as long as the band was loose (36 in my case) wearing a smaller size was easier? :D
@devilangel: I just agree with what Vee says :D
You're wearing your bra too low. But also what I said in the other fitting request; you should probably have bras with most cup depth on top or evenly distributed bras. This is the reversed. I've tried Lauren as well in the same size as Andorra was too small. I drowned in it because of the big bottom section :)
-
Hmmm how am I wearing my bra too low? The underwires were directly under the breasts root. Boohoo I guess I have to return this bra... :(

http://blog.butterflycollection.ca/2012/11/are-you-wearing-your-bra-too-low.html# Here's a post. Vee might have linked it already but now I did it again :D
Anyhow: You cannot push the wires up in this bra because the wires are simply too narrow for your boobs :) Like Vee said, get used to the letter G :D
-
Sooooo for my breast perimeter, what's the range of the depth of the cup that'll suit me? I feel bra fitting is such a rocket science right now. :(
