B.tempt'd By Wacoal » B.amazing Balconette Bra (953224) » 30DDD 30:6
Issue resolved
As close to the perfect fit as I've gotten so far!
Original problem
I think this bra is a pretty perfect fit - but since this is my first time finding what I consider that to be, I want to get some feedback from this awesome community to make sure before I start buying more bras based on this fit. Please let me know your thoughts!
Also, any suggestions for other bras that are of a similar cut/style would be great! (Cleo Marcie?) Thank you!

helpfulIs the gore fully tacking? The pictures arent clear but it doesnt look like the top of the gore is flat against your chest? It might just be the angle tho.

Good point - I have this problem in all bras, so this is about the closest I've ever gotten to it fully tacking, but you're right, there is a gap. I've uploaded a picture. Thank you!

Looks like its sitting on breast tissue, or else you have a concave breast bone. If its not painful I wouldnt worry too much, but you might want to try some bras with lower gores to see if its more comfortable. I actually pull my breast tissue away from the center of a bra some times - my gores dont always firmly tack either

helpfulIf you like this bra I recommend checking out other b.tempt'd bras in 30DDD. You might also like Betsey Johnson bras in 30DDD. Gossard would also be nice to try in 30E.
As for Cleo Marcie in 30E, I'm not sure. It caters to people who have an FOT shape and you listed your shape as FOB. It also caters to people who have a neither FOT nor FOB shape but have tall roots.

Thanks for your input! I think I am actually even in fullness - I seem to always have issues with quadboob (SO aggravating) so that made me think I might be FOT, but then my shape matches that of the FOB or Even Fullness in the reference images I looked at. I am definitely full in the center and/or just have breasts that migrate to the middle. Appreciate your feedback! :)

It's entirely possible that your shape may be neither FOT nor FOB, and with tall roots. In that case it very well may be nice to try the Cleo Marcie. The Freya Deco Plunge also caters to that kind of shape, but it is a lot narrower in the wires.

I think Marcie would work well on you. The band is tighter and the wires are stiffer than Wacoal/b'tempted, so you might want to try that one in a 32DD.
As for bras similar to this, I agree others by this brand, and also just aesthetically this reminds me of Chantelle which you might like. Their sizing varies a lot between models but this size (30F for them) is a fine place to start. You can get them cheaply on ebay.

I think you are right that I have tall roots. I never thought of that before, so thanks for mentioning it!
And I do have a Chantelle bra that I like but it doesn't tack properly (a common problem - I think my breasts are pretty close-set). The cups may be too small.Thanks so much for the input on Marcie. It comes up repeatedly in recommendations, so I've been looking at it a lot, especially since it seems to have a similar cut to this one. The info about the wires is very helpful. Thank you so much!

helpfulIt looks great. You could go about half an inch deeper, but I think you just about nailed it.

I agree, 1/2" more cup would probably make it even better! Thanks so much for your input!!
