[Recommendations?] 30FF, normally wear a tshirt bra but open to expanding my horizons!
Hi everyone! I have no fashion sense and almost exclusively live in white tshirts, meaning I've sadly been banished to sad beige bra territory.
However, I'm back at work now & have several work tops that would work with other styles & I've been interested in a seamed cup. I usually wear a Corin Sophia in 30G, but it's at the end of its life & I've gone down a size anyway. I'll likely buy it again in an FF but would love a *gasp* SECOND bra that fits. Ideally one that is low cut at the front & sides with thinnish straps for certain outfits.
I've read the instructions on posting pictures and it seems... a lot. So I'll give you a written rundown on what I've tried & why they didn't work & see how we get on.
I've just tried on:
Curvy Kate Flora balcony bra 8FF - loved it from the front. The cup was a bit small. I could swoop myself into a good position, but other positions had quadding and the edge of the cup was so close to my nipple that I worry one bad move & I might be needing to tuck myself back in! The band felt more like a 32, I was on the tightest hook it wasn't even particularly tight. I hated how close the staps came in towards the hooks at the back - I prefer a wide set strap.
Freya Fascinate balconette bra 8FF - really wanted to like this. The wires were too wide for me. It didn't give me a great shape, not sure if I should try it again in an 8F or if it's just not for me.
Currently breastfeeding, but my nursling is older now, so I've done away with nursing bras. My breasts have what I read here is called "soft tissue" (think "5 week old banana consistency"). In saying that, they're quite self supporting, close set (really struggle with having space for wires to sit between them) and have been incredibly helpful over the past 4+ years, so I won't complain 😂😂. They're not full on top at all, but I don't know if they're full on bottom or even fullness
I've lost my measurements from the calculator, but if these are needed, let me know & I'll take them again.
Many thanks!!
