Bra fitting help » Lace wrinkles in cups; too big or incompatible shape?


Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) » 28E 28:6

Issue resolved

Adjusted straps, added an extender, and searching for bras with narrower wires.

Original problem

My most recent foray into trying to find a bra that fits, and the first Cleo/Panache bra that I've tried, it came up as recommended for me with my measurements. This bra seems decently well-fitting, aside from the pesky wrinkles that pop up around the seam/in the lace top portion. Is this bra too big in the cup or is the shape just incompatible? The wires strike me as a bit wide for me as well. Help?

Also, looking at the angled view, there's some evident tissue spillage at my side. Does anyone have any thought as to whether that might be migrated tissue or just fat? I've always had pretty squishy underarms compared to the rest of my bony-ish chest and I'm not gonna lie, I'd looove it if that tissue turned out to be runaway boob. (I'll gladly take all the boobage I can get my hands on, ha!)

Also, this is my first 28 band, which I bought after getting fed up with my old standard bra, a 30D longline OnGossamer that was too small in the cup and also liked to roam around my ribcage instead of staying put. I have scoliosis (you can see it in my back view picture), so that probably has something to do with why my bands are always riding up/down/sneaking around (or does it?) but this 28 feels solidly anchored.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate any help that you lovelies would be willing to provide!
