Location: Midwest, USA | Actually, it is performing like it should. That is what that bra is designed to do, push up and squeeze together your breasts. You might want to loosen the straps a little and allow the bra to not rest so high on your shoulders. I blew up you photo and it looks like it would fit better if you dropped it down about a half inch. Since I’m not there to examine how it looks in the back or feel how tight it is in the band and shoulders, I can only make a suggestion from looking at the front. But I will examine all areas of the bra when I’m checking the fit on my daughters. |

You are right, it looks a bit too small. It could be okay to wear at home, but it looks like it might be making bulges under the clothes... I went and looked at the brastop.com page and saw some pretty nice bras from Kalyani, has anyone tried them?
Yes you are right - it would be OK if I didn't have to wear clothes! The bulges are even worse from the side. I have a Kalyani yellow bra and a couple of flowery ones - it's really pretty and has thin straps. I usually wear plain bras which are very useful but Kalyani is my touch of feminine. I have found that it is wise to go up a cup size in this make even in the full cup styles. Think Kalyani are from India and are trying to break into the bra market. Got to be a good thing. |

I don't mind the pushing together - that is actually more comfortable as I can then move my arms. I have pushed my breasts as far into the bra as they will go but as I move they will come out more and the bulges over the top will be even worse. I have cleavage with every bra even sports bras so I just want as smooth a line as possible. I always look as if I should loosen the straps but it is just my bust being too big for my frame. The wire is already far lower than the crease and I admit I do like to be uplifted to stop aching and pulling in the tissue. Wouldn't it be nice if they stayed up on their own! Are your daughters going to try it? What sizes are they? |

Location: Midwest, USA | You might need a full cup bra then to help keep your breasts from wandering. Unless you want to show off your cleavage with low cut necklines, this bra that you are telling us about would not be for everyday use in my opinion. Your boobs are naturally going to be bouncing around in that style of cup. I have seen women wearing this style of bra under their clingy knit tops and it’s like they have Jello wiggling in there. If this is the image you are going for then this is the bra but if you are not trying to attract attention to that area of your chest then a different style would be more appropriate.
Sometimes I have to put my foot down with my daughters as far as how they present themselves. They could very easily walk out the door showing more than they should. They almost have as many bras as I have in just about every style imaginable. I’m not sure if they own your brand but they have similar ones with deep plunging cups. Their everyday bras are full cup bras. They also need the support capabilities that these full cup bras have. I sent you their sizes in a PM.
A particular style of bra should be chosen to compliment the outfit. In other words, choose your outfit that you will be wearing first and then determine which style of bra works best for that outfit.

My Flirtelle Minx Satin Plunge Bra in a 30FF arrived today. Think maybe the cup is quite a bit too small! - what do you think? OK for Jordan maybe. It looks pretty good style wise but has a flappy bit under the wire that sticks out from the body and digs in. Might be better if you don't have any fat round your ribs unlike me! The thing about having to buy mail order is that now I can't be bothered to order a bigger cup. The band is just about small enough on the tightest hook and does ride up a bit at the back. Keep going, Flirtelle I'm impressed but might suit someone else better. If you like Panache inferno you will like this one. Will stick to my Freya retrobasics plunge for now.
Anyone going to try this bra or any other Flirtelle? I know there's some 30-36D-G on here!
Hi. My opinion , for what it's worth, is that the cup size does look too small. It's a lovely bra but I can imagine that you wouldn't get a flat line under your clothes wearing the bra as it is in the picture. |

Location: UK | Probably not the right thread for this but it just about sums it up and is written in a very entertaining way!

Location: Midwest, USA | That is just about right. Most of us have or will follow that story line. Between pregnancies, the so-called middle age spread that happens to most of us due to the lowering of our metabolism as we age, etc. we end up shopping for larger sizes as we age. I was in a size 36 bra at age 18 but now at 48 it’s mostly size 42 bras. I won’t go into the cup sizes at this time. That is another long story. |

| hi,
the only solution with that is
whether 30 j
whether 28jj
wearing corset and girdle becoz upper of girdle theres a bone that can carry
such a massive boobs and even can cause the bra long lasting and not loose
anymore,it works for me .
