Bra fitting help » Cups too wide and tall, bottom empty
Cleo » Jude (5846) » 30G 30:9
Issue resolved
The cups are too wide and shallow for me, I need deeper, narrower cups with also more room in the centre as I'm centre heavy.
Original problem
I just wanted to check with you more expert ladies if I got all the things that are wrong with this bra (at least for my boobs) to avoid similar shapes in the future.
I can't fill the sides and bottom of the cups, I have at least a finger's width of empty space. They're probably made for shallower breasts than mine so based on the cup depth measurement here on the site, I went up a cup size but the cups are also too wide for me and possibly too tall as well? They're almost up to my armpits but luckily this doesn't bother me much. I just find it odd because I thought I had medium/tall roots but now I'm not sure.
Also, if I'm not careful with the scooping/sweeping I get a minor quadboob in the centre.
All of these things do not show while wearing clothes and the bra itself is comfy enough, so I'm going to keep it.
The only other thing I don't like are the white details because they show through thin tops.I also went up a band size because it was on sale and there were no 28s!
What do you think? Is it a terrible, horrible fit?

Jude is WAYYY too shallow for a lot of people in your size range and is also more suited to side fullness than center fullness. Sizing up tremendously is the only way you will fit into it, which you have done. Perhaps you would like the Juna instead? Have you tried it?

I've never tried the Juna, but I'll keep an eye out for it, thank you! What about the cup height? I feel the cups too close to my armpits and I don't know if it's just because the cups are too wide or also too tall, but the wires are ok.

MerryMomoka The discomfort under the armpit could probably come from this bras misfit concerning your shape.
If someone with more pendulous&fuller boobs would wear it I am sure the whole bra would sit some inches deeper. So it would not dig under the arms. If you really like this bra I would try one cup smaller.
But there ate so many other cute bras who would fit perfect for you.
Not just Juna. -
Yes I think the only reason the wires are bothering you is that you've had to size up so much. In a bra where the cup shape is right for you as well as the volume I don't think you will have those issues.
1zora is absolutely right you have many options--I was just suggesting the Juna because it's a foam Cleo and I see you also tried the Maddie, so I surmised you might be interested in it. -
I think curvy Kate e.g. Cascade would be a good choice too.

In truth I didn't size up that much, just a cup size (and band but I'm talking about cup volume). I have two other Cleo bras, Jolie in 28 G that fits great and the Maddie in 28GG which is not the best shape for me as well, I have gaping between the straps but I'm almost quadding in the centre (which is why I didn't buy the 28G), but the wires are fine.
I'm afraid that if I tried a smaller cup with the Jude I would definitely get a quadboob in the centre, so I'll just keep this one as it is comfortable and the misshape isn't noticeable while wearing clothes.
Anyway, next time I'll have to order bras I'll look for the Juna and Cascade (which is soo cute!).
Thank you both for your help! :D

helpfulThis bra is indeed too shallow; I recommend staying with 28G bras made for projected and FOB shapes.

Just checked out for vs. fob.
Juna is good for fot and I am not sure but I think you might be fot.
Always thought myself I was fob which I might not be because all styles on the pinterest website work fantastic for me.Updated on August 3, 2016 Flag this

I don't think I'm FOT, my breasts are full all over but the bottom looks a bit more full. To know for sure I think I will have to try a bra for FOT breasts.
The problem for me is the inner fullness, especially with plunges and bras that don't have much space in the centre because the cups cut my breasts in the middle :/

Juna was what I thought too. But check out The right size via the bratabase calculator. It recommended 30FF for the Juna for me wearing usuallyDD orE.
Concerning your bra I will check out to get it in size 30E as I am looking to something that fits my wide rooted boobs.
