Bra fitting help » I love it but I want to know what you ladies think!
Parfait By Affinitas » Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) » 30E 30:6
Issue resolved
I'm going to try exchanging it for the 30F and see if that helps. Thanks everyone!
Original problem
I know the Charlotte Balconette is said to run small in the cup and the band. I don't know if that's supposed to be true with the Plunge, but if it is, I'm mildly concerned that this fits me pretty damn well in my opinion.
I have some clothed pictures and a picture of the gore from above, since that's the main thing that I noticed being off. I would just like some of you lovely ladies to sign off on it before I choose not to return it, you know? I'd like to exchange it for the next size if it doesn't fit me right in your opinions.

I think it's a tiny bit too small in the cups from picture 1 and 7 because it is cutting in a little bit at the top and not sitting very flat at the center.
I also think the underwires are not wide enough! From picture 1, they could extend back a little bit more I think.
If you feel comfortable in this, you should probably keep it because the next cup size up *might* be too a little big. I think it's a hard choice! You will definitely have more coverage at the sides and top if you go a cup up

Remember, that what Bratabase suggests according to database, is not always the truth. Could the fit of 30E and 30F really be similar? I think not...

Well, I'm not the least knowledgeable here, but I come close! So take that into consideration. I think the wires look wide enough IF you have scooped and swooped. I think, judging solely from my own experience, that wider would make you feel you were flattening out some. I can't see the slight quad boob. If you're new to swooping/scooping and "right fitting" then this bra is likely good enough for now but might be too small soon.

Fairy79: Actually, it's definitely possible for two different cup sizes of a bra to have a similar fit. The Cleo Jude that I ordered alongside this bra I got in both DD and E, and the fits were almost identical.
@RG: I did swoop and scoop, but I don't think I did it fully for those pictures. I just put it back on and scooped and swooped again, and there was some definite quadboob going on.

helpfulIt looks like there is a bit of quad boob and the gore isn't lying flat. I would suggest at least trying the next cup size up to see if you get much of a difference in the fit. It does look like the wires could stand to be about a half inch back farther on your sides.
Let us know if you choose to try the next cup size up!

Yeah, I'm really torn on this one. The database seems to think the 30F will fit me similarly in the cups, but I am worried that going up a size will be too big. I guess I can always exchange them back if the F is worse? I'll sleep on it, see what other people have to say I guess. It's just so pretty!
