Bra fitting help » FIT CHECK - First Chantelle, second attempt at a "right" bra
Chantelle » Basic Invisble Memory Foam T-shirt Bra (1241) » 75F 34:6
Issue resolved
I returned this one too, because the band was just too stretchy.
Original problem
I think this bra fits, but I'm not entirely sure. It looks good, there's no cutting or quad boob, and it's comfortable.
The band is a little loose on the last hook, but it's really stretchy. In the photos included I am wearing it on the last hook (the biggest one) and it works well.
My main issue is the top of the cups aren't FULL feeling, but there isn't any gapping, except on my left boob (which is smaller, but I expected that). When I bend over there's a little gapping, but it's not severe. The wires are also a little wide for my boobs, but I have a small frame and a narrow root, so I expect that with most bras. I'm sure that if I decide to keep this bra I could alter the wires a bit.
Does this bra fit me (for the most part?) Should I find a different style, since my breasts aren't very full on top? What style would you suggest to try next? Is this one okay, or should I return it?
Thanks ahead of time everyone! You are all amazing. My boobs thank you

helpfulI actually have this same bra, in nude, and I read in another users Bratabase review that if you find it's getting really loose, and it wasn't when you bought it, remember to let it rest 2 days between wears, to give the fabric enough time to regain its shape. If you think that it's still too loose in the band, I'd check into if there's a sister size available in a smaller band/bigger cup.

I do think the cups look really good. Some slight gaping when bending forward in a moulded cup bra is almost unavoidable as your boobs will change shape but the cups won't. Just make sure you feel comfortable and supported enough so that you can bend forward without falling out in such a way you need to adjust. At least for me that is the critical point...
As for the band. If it stretches to 10 cm more than your loose ribcage measurement than I would probably consider it too big. Now, it might still be okay if you have enough friction and/or a tapered ribcage that makes the band stay but I would still very much like to see a photo of the back, both directly and after you've worn te bra for a while, reached up with your hands to pick something of a high shelf etc, just to see how the back behaves.
Just to be on the safe side.Updated on February 25, 2014 Flag this

helpfulThe picture looks good but I think you will get a better fit with going down a band and up a cup.
