Bra fitting help » New to bratabase! Is there anything wrong with this fitting? Band is tight
Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961) » 32DD 32:5
I'm new at all of this. The band is tight, but not painful. I wore it for the whole day and time to time I forgot I had it on, except one time when I was at an awkward leaning over angle and the underwire started stabbing. It does leave marks when I take it off at the end of the day but they disappear.There is wrinkling at the side that I wonder is normal or its because the band is too tight.

This is a tough call, it does look quite tight. You could try wearing it with an extender (if you google 'bra extender" on amazon or eBay), make sure that you get one with two hook & eye fasteners so it matches your bra.
Otherwise the cups look like a perfect shape for you.
The band will stretch out with wear so after several wears it might become *perfect* but I'm not familar with the Panache Cari, so I'm not sure how quickly their bands will stretch out.IMO, there's a difference between a "firm band" and a "too tight band" Firm band just means it tight but not painful - it doesn't stretch much.
Too tight band -well, it could be very stretchy, but still is not comfortable to wear.

trying the sister size up --> 34D, is a consideration.
If you live in a place where you can just get this through Amazon prime (or something) where you can just try in on and return it for free, might be a good comparison.
I like a firm band, it takes all of the pressure off of my shoulders. At the same time, there is a difference between a firm band and a too tight band. (too tight is just uncomfortable!)
But congrats on finding a shape that works for you! -
I got this one from amazon too, but I'm going to keep this one because as you said, its a shape that works and the bra extender should help until it losens. I did try a 34D in the past in store, but my breasts were not secure/locked how the 32DD bra's do. But I'll give a 34D a go in another shape since now I understand bra's better.
Thank you for all your help! The journey of a bra that fits continues !
Thank you for responding! I know bra extenders are a possible solution, but after spending so much money, I thought there would be a perfect fit or maybe go up a size.
