Bra fitting help » It fits?
Curvy Kate » Daydreamer Balcony Bra (CK5401) » 28GG 28:10
Issue resolved
I have to keep searching a bra that fits me
Original problem
There are wrinkles at the top of the cup.
The center gore is too high, wide and digs in a little.
The band feels right but I'm not sure if it's seems right

helpfulI had this one and the lace is a bit loose on it, the wrinkling could just be cosmetic. Cups felt wide and shallow. CK and Panache also have very wide gores. You could try bending them out so they don't dig into you. It's not an ideal shape but unless you go Polish, UK bras in a 28 band are going to be stretchy and loose, and the gores wide.

helpfulby the measurements the band looks on the loose side but you will have a hard time finding much that is tighter. I think that bra runs wide in the cups - the wires go well past your boob on the outside, right? rather than curving around and touch the side of the breast? I think size-wise its ok, shape-wise its not ideal. but again I think your size is not easy to find.

This bra shows every sign of having a band that is much too tight, disguising the fact that the cup is larger than you need (it is pulled/wrapped tightly around you due to the excessive band tightness). This is NOT your fault though... as I mentioned in my response to another poster above I think there is something wrong with the measuring instructions currently--we keep seeing new posters/users who are being assigned band sizes that are ridiculously tight for them. If this bra didn't have an oversized cup compensating slightly for the band tightness you would probably be in serious pain... this is so snug that it is distorting the cups and orienting them east-west.
Anyway.. The first rule of bra-fitting is to wear a band only as tight as you need--not "as tight as you can bear without dying" lol! A 30 band should be much better. For cup size, at least 1 size down (30FF) might be good... it is hard to guesstimate but if you take the "lying down" single breast perimeter that usually is helpful in figuring out the ideal cup depth for most bras. Try to balance the breast so it represents your breast dimensions when supported and does not hang too much off the side of the body.

Also I have the 30ff florence curvy kate and fits the same way of this. I haven't uploaded photos yet.
I generally wear 34dd's and some 32ddd's that fits in the cups and the band moves easily
I don't now what to do to find my size, and in my country there's no something smaller with bigger cup than 34, the smallest size is a 32c (I can barely found the dd's all that we have is b's or c')
Maybe I should just give up -
Well, the Florence and the Dreamcatcher are not the same bra, so one bra model can run a bit bigger than another-- if the 30FF Florence fits similarly, that simply means it is still too big. So if you wanted to buy another Florence I would suggest a 30F (if you think the shape is good). For the Dreamcatcher, maybe the 30FF would be ok if it runs smaller than the Florence, or if it runs similarly to the Florence maybe the 30F.
If you have 34DD and 32DDDs that fit in the cups, 28GG is A LOT bigger in cup volume so it is logical that this 28GG could be more than just 1 volume too big. If you go down 1 cup volume and up 1 band size, that would only take you to 30FF, but if you go down a second cup volume you would land on 30F.

dbmamaz I can't shake the feeling that we are seeing the effect in measurements tables (and probably also in the sizes assigned) of a change in measuring instructions. People who are not even close to plus size nor ultra fluffy on the upper body are now entering Tight measurements that are 2, 3 or more inches smaller than their Comfortable underbust and so the calculator assumes they are super fluffy and assigns them a band that is tight AF, pardon my French.
