Issue resolved
Just the wrong shape for me.
Original problem
I *think* this bra fits. But I noticed after wearing it that there are ceases at the bottom of the cup. Is it the wrong shape for me?
I have tried tighter hooks, but that causes more spillage.
I have tried hiking it up, but it doesn't stay as the cups then come up too high.
Overall,I do like the bra and it is comfortable. Just some minor issues.

helpfulHello! Jude is a very hard bra to fit, I've seen that it fits no one really. I had the same exact problems with the cups on this bra, and sizing up did not help at all. However, it does look like the bra is a bit small on you. If you really like it, I think you should try going up a size in the cups to help with the quadboob But be warned, the wires will probably become too wide if you do!

Yes, I was thinking that 1 cup up could be too big, but I also see that it's really cutting in at the armpits too. So it is possible you would be better off in a larger size :)
If you try sewing the gore together on that bra though, it should put some more space at the top of the cups to help with the quadboob -
I will try sewing the gore in a tad. I think it is just cutting into the fat/extra skin beside my armpit.
If I can find one to try on, I will check out a larger size though.

I have a very similar problem in the Jude, and as you will hear many people on here say, it is a 'very hard to fit on most' style. Its a pity, as I really like the bra..and I have tried to persevere with mine, but am finally coming to the conclusion it doesn't work properly. I have the issues you have- cutting in a bit at the top- not really quadding, just the way the top is. creases/emptyness at the very bottom of the cup and the cups and gore slipping down. But i can't seem to hike it up to stay. and then i get dug by the underwire at the side. I tried a bigger cup and had alot of empty space in the cup, particularly on my smaller side, and the wires on the side dug/ were too high.. I have heard they are bringing out the Jude in another name- having made some changes.. I hope if so, its more successful.. cause I love the style/colour combinations of it.

I agree with Noob that it's cutting in at your armpits. You should really swoop and scoop better(if you even have), unless you swooped and scooped properly and it just keeps slipping out due to other fit issues.

I do the swoop and scoop. Those cutlets are there even braless. I can scoop them under the bra, but as soon as I move my arm up, they are back out. Every bra has cut in at the armpits. I think I just have more fat in those areas.
-
I have similar bits of fat exactly in the same place under the armpits - even had them before I started wearing bras.
(I agree that the Jude seems to be a very hard to fit bra, however.)
I think if I went up in cup size it would definitely be too big. There is a bit of spillage too. I tried hiking the bra up, thinking it's too low. That worked for a minute. Overall not a great fit, but I will be adding it to my daily rotation as it is one of the few semi fitting bras I have.
