Bra fitting help » am i wearing wrong size? or shape?
Freya » Fancies Plunge Bra (1011) » 32FF 32:8
Issue resolved
I sized up in the band, AND up in the cup. much better!
Original problem
I feel like I'm so close yet so far.
I really thought I had a winner with this Freya Fancies Plunge in 32FF. This is the very first bra I've ever had that sat comfortably at the center gore, not too high, not too low, not too tight....
However, after swoop and scoop, the underwire immediately sits under IMF, and wrinkles at bottom. Breast tissue eventually falls to bottom of cup, through day, eliminating most of that wrinkle, but that leaves too much space at top of cup on smaller side.
Where do i go from here?Bra is ~6mo old and already too big at the band. Wondering if I simply purchased the wrong size? or if i should look into something in a different shape.

So the first and second photos are without scooping and swooping, and the third through fifth photos are after scooping and swooping?

Okay, so you should always be scooping and swooping, so the cups are definitely too small. The spillage at the top of the cup, the nipples ending up above the diagonal seam, and the wires sitting below the IMF (assuming you cannot get them up into the right spot) are all indications of this.
Looking at your ribcage measurements, I think this band is too small. I would put you in a 34 band. So I'd guess the band stretched out quickly because you were overstretching it.
I would try this in 34FF (sister-sizing up to a 34F and then going up a cup size to account for the spillage).
