My boobs are also fuller on top rather than the bottom, and it's not unusual for me to have a bra that is too wide in the bottom of the cups, but then it cuts into my boobs at the top. I have found a style that suits me very well, and possibly you too, curvy kate. Most of the curvy kates I've tried are very comfy. They have a bit of a balkonette shape, so more room at the top. I'm very happy with the ones I have. I was sad to find only one bra from curvy kate on the site though, I hope they're not done with selling the curvy kate. :( <br /><br />Re: busy fitting ladies, in my experience the ladies in the changing area are almost always very busy, and have very little time, every time I was there, there were at least 5 customers waiting for an appoinment and as far as I could see, all the ladies were booked. For a proper fitting I always make an appointment so there's time enough for me, and someone with access to the stockroom. :)Annekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303232666607267415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-84144527970017995752013-09-11T14:41:33.842-07:002013-09-11T14:41:33.842-07:00Please do this!!

My problem is with the Rhea is I get a very small empty space at the bottom as I think the cups are not deep enough for me. Also the gore does not tack and the top of my arreolas want to peak out at the top. I got it in a 34GG as that was the only size that was available and I truly needed atleast a 32H. Do you think the band can be altered to make it tighter an then maybe the gore would tack down? I love the bra too much to part with it. :/lisazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720585847145720524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-55796108542574091572013-08-23T10:17:53.655-07:002013-08-23T10:17:53.655-07:00I've really enjoyed your review I'd just s...I've really enjoyed your review I'd just say that from the sounds of this experience your sister seems to be trying on rather than having a fitting.

The best solution is to bite the bullet and go to Rigby and Peller and then once fitted properly buy Prima Donna bras. The Deauville Comfort bra is the best support I've ever had (36 h). Forget having lots of bras and just invest in a few really well made ones.

Your note on the relative proportions of the upper and lower sections of the Wild at Heart bra suddenly explains so much about why some bras give me such a weird shape and fit so oddly.<br /><br />I recently bought a Cleo Juna and had pretty much the same results as you -- very rounded, but a little bit lacking in uplift.
