Stuck between 30d and 30c based on fit criteria - please help me understand bra fit!
I don't have pictures yet due to privacy concern. I have shallow breasts with slight projection and my nipples do not point straight they point slightly outward. As well my breasts are a bit widerset. Nothing exaggerating.
I currently have the Natori feathers in 30C and 30D.
The 30D feels great but it feels like the bottom centimeters of the cup are flat empty space (even after swoop and scoop). Despite this my breasts sit very comfortably in the rest of the cup. No spilling. My breasts are aligned with the wider set position of my breasts. No gapping at the top. My natural slight projection of my breasts look good.
The 30C I feel ok in that I have very minimal flat empty space at the bottom of the cup (after swoop and scoop). However big problem is that the cup feel more shallow than my natural breast projection and I look flatter. I have spillage in certain positions as well. Another huge problem is placement of the cups is more centered on the chest so my breasts sit weirdly centered.
Is it this specific bra that is weird for my shape? My A Bra that Fits Calculator results are below. I tried a Freya 28DD and the band was uncomfortably tight for me.
