Fit Check 42E/F Tried Natori, Chantelle, Elomi

Hello!

​

May I please have a fit check for these bras?

​

The calculator says I'm a 42E/F UK. Here are my measurements:

​

Loose 43

​

Snug 42

​

Tight 40

​

Standing 47

​

Leaning 49

​

Lying 48

I am AFAB and shopping in the US.

​

I had a breast reduction almost exactly 2 years ago. It has been recommended to try shallow brands because of this surgery, but I also tried some Elomi bras. I scooped and swooped, the wires were in my IMF, and the bras were on the loosest hooks.

​

1. 42DDD US Natori Statement. Gore tacks, band feels okay. Cups are too big, and just do not fit correctly no matter what adjustments I make. Wire digs into my right armpit.

​

2. 42DDD US Chantelle Rive Gauche. Gore tacks, band feels okay. Cups look okay, but wire digs into my right armpit.

​

3. 42E UK Elomi Morgan. Gore tacks. Just doesn't feel like a great shape fit overall, but I could be wrong. It might just feel stiff because of being new. Wire digs into my armpit, but not as bad as the above bras. Does not seem to give the same side coverage as the Elomi plunges I tried.

​

4. 42E UK Elomi Charley. Like the Morgan, this also feels itchy and stiff, but I assume that will improve with washing. I like the overall fit of this bra. Unfortunately, after a couple of hours my larger right side was sneaking out of the top a bit, and the bra started to rub uncomfortably in my right armpit area. Would it help to go up to an F cup?

​

5. 42E UK Elomi Lucie. Feels like the best fit overall, along with the Charley. Has the same stiff feeling as the other Elomi bras I have been trying on, but I'm thinking a wash would help. I don't feel the wire in my right armpit, but I suspect that, like the Charley, it will start to rub after a couple of hours. Is it possible that issue would go away after the bra stretches out more, or is that likely to make it worse? Should I go up to an F cup?

​

Do you think any of these sound like they fit properly? I would love some advice about where to go from here and what I should try next.

​

Thanks for your help!
