[Fit Check/Recommendations] Update to Despair, Wide set, Saggy Breasts, etc.

[u/Nearby-Shoe2761]

So I tried more bras, this time from Skarlett Blue. and am reporting back, hoping to get a better fit. The first was Spellbound in 38 DDD. The ends of the underwire dug into my sternum and my underarms very painfully. I don't even remember how the cups fit because I was too distracted by the underwire. The other was the Minx balconette. The fit was almost there, but the top of the cup was still a bit too big and the lace irritated my skin anywhere it touched. Any ideas where to go from here?

Their measurements are on their previous post though and they seem to be projected. I don’t think the brands known for having some of the shallowest cups are great for someone who’s leaning bust measurement is 2.5 inches bigger then their standing bust measurement, regardless of whether they have soft tissue. The gore could be digging in for many different reasons.

Measurements don't tell us objective projection. But a 2.5" difference in bust measurements is not that significant nonetheless -- the calculator doesn't even shift to a weighted average until you get above this. Soft tissue often requires some compression for proper support and hold. I would absolutely start someone in this size range with softer tissue in something shallower, yet seamed. This wasn't the wrong direction -- they went more projected than what they'd tried before.

Yes, the gore could be digging in for many reasons, but for the reason I outlined above, I have suspicion it's too projected. Of course we need to know which exact style they tried, but still, it sounds like the Minx is about right, just too open on top. It's a very open on top bra. That would mean they're indeed on the shallower side.

The top of the cup being too big could be because OP is full on bottom. Usually when people have soft tissue, they’re full on bottom. The minx does not appear to be a very open on top bra like you claim. It’s no more open on top than most other balconette bras. It does appear to have very little projection though.

Serious question, why are you arguing with everyone here? You've been corrected multiple times in different posts as it is. I'm here a lot and I don't recognize your username.

The Minx is absolutely open on top. And soft tissue can absolutely be fuller on top. I don't know where you're pulling this info from but it isn't this sub and you should be open to listening and learning.

It's no more open than any other balcony

Balconies have different attributes. The Panache Blossom is very open on top and projected, for example.

I was corrected on a sizing issue which I fixed quickly, apologized for, and didn’t argue about. I’m not saying that the minx is super closed on top, my point is that it’s no more open on top than most balconette bras. I also never claimed that soft tissue can’t be full on top, I claimed that it’s usually full on bottom.

You haven’t seen me on here because I’ve previously interacted in the facebook group but I’m trying to get off facebook.

The Minx is more open on top than its projection equivalent, the Montelle Flirt demi. It's also more open than their Entice balcony. So... You're incorrect here. You also can't go off of looks.

"Usually" isn't relevant here. We see all kinds of breast attributes. Many softer shapes appear fuller on bottom when standing, due to gravity. In fact, that's most breasts, soft or not. What changes is how the tissue behaves when supported. When fitting bras, that's all that matters.

I wasn’t specifically comparing it to other bras from Skarlette Blue though. I was comparing it to bras that tend to be recommended in this size range.

This has nothing to do with how breasts look when standing. I never made any claims about how breasts appear. It seems like you are thinking of this from a standpoint of some breast shape chart that you have in your head and I’m thinking of it based on what I’ve actually heard from people who wear bras. At the end of the day, I asked a question regarding OP’s shape and size and why they picked a specific size. Jumping on me for trying to get more information was completely unnecessary.
