I used the fit calculator and ordered the Sculptresse Chi Chi and Cleo Asher in a 36GG. The bands on both fit perfectly but the cups are too small. The gore on the Asher doesn’t quite sit right and I have spillage the the top of the cups and on the sides. The cups of the Chi Chi are also too small and the wires dig in right under my armpit. I’m not sure about the straps on both. I have a little over two fingers worth of give.
The image on top is the Chi Chi and the image on the bottom is the Asher https://imgur.com/a/wH6k78o
Are the fit issues I’m having just the cup size or are they issues with the bra shape? I used the calculator and got a 36GG/H. I’m projected and full on the top. My measurements in inches are:
Loose underbust: 35 1/2 Snug underbust: 35 Tight underbust: 33 Standing bust: 43 1/2 Leaning bust: 46 Laying bust: 46
Have you ever wondered why the Bohemian Sculptress trades Rumours of the Upper River for Support for a Counter-Church Theology?
It is because she >!trades hearsay for heresy.!<
Check out this lady on YouTube, her reel to reel live editing and sound design was pioneering in the 60’s.
Without her, electronic music wouldn’t be where it is today.
She is the most unassuming, well spoken, typically English Badass Queen.
Mad respect Delia! Thank you for getting weird.
> "One day, when it will be possible to trace a history of Aikido in Italy, a chapter will undoubtedly be dedicated to Haru Onoda, a pioneer of Aikido in our country, since the days when the existence of this art was only known to a few lovers of martial arts and Japanese things”. With these prophetic words, Giovanni Granone, a column of Italian Aikido for over three decades, in 1973 described the importance of the role played by the young Onoda in Italy in her ten years of stay and work in our country.
I have very close set breasts and my best fitting bra so far is Sculptress Roxie in 34H (their largest cup size in 34) because of the low plunge gore. However, I’m asymmetrical and I could use a cup size bigger for my left breast, so I’d like to try an HH cup. Also, the band on the bra is so stretchy! 34s usually fit great on me, but I have to wear this one the tightest hooks and it’s still kind of big!
I’ve ordered and returned pretty much every bra in 34HH that Bare Necessities carries, so I’m just at a loss.
I’d really like to try Panache Ana as it looks very similar, and the Panache website says it is made in 34HH, but I cannot find it for sale online anywhere! Help!
I’m trying to decide if this is a bra problem or a bra doesn’t fit me problem.
I have the Sculptress Estel and I think it fits me well. However the gore is rubbing just a little bit but enough to break the skin, just on one side.
If you have this bra is the covering of the wires a little rough at the gore seams or do I have a poorly constructed one? The other option is that the gore is a little too low for my needs, which would be awful as it’s brand new and not cheap!
Thanks all!
Film at 11.
First off, I did calculate my size with the calculator and it came out as a UK38G.I think I may be somewhat close set, center full, full on bottom, slightly full on top and short and narrow rooted. I also have a somewhat short torso and very sensitive armpits. I am definitely very projected with a lot of immediate projection.At least that is what I think, I may of course be wrong and I am open to correction.
Curvy Kate Strapless Mutliway in 85G the gore won't tack to my chest. I don't get any spillage when I push the gore to my chest, but there is a strange fold that happens when I do this.
The bra will also ride down in the front if the straps are off.
The Curvy Kate SuperPlunge in 85G doesn't really have a gore so I can't say if that would tack, but the cups don't provide enough support, so I don't get any cleavage and instead my breasts just push out straight in the cups.
The Sculptress Dana in 85H fit me in cup size and band, I think, because the gore almost sat on my chest and the band didn't ride up or fall down.However the cups and wires came up way too high and because if this, the top of the cups wrinkled quite a bit.The wires also came out too far under my arms, which is probably why the sides wrinkled so much. You can even see where the cup wrinkled and creased around my breasts from the inside ( I made a pic of this too) Over all the size was probably right, but the fit was just horrible.
The Sculptress Dana in 85GG had similar problems but additionally, the gore didn't sit close to my chest.
The Sculptress Sasha in 85GG was closer to a good fit I think, but still not good. I had to tighten the straps all the way up and yet the cups still wrinkle in the middle near the gore, at the top and at the sides. The sides definitely came up too high under my arms aswell and they went too far out to the sides.There is also still this point on the top of my breast (very visible in the side pictures) where it seems to just make a 90° turn forwards, making it look like a step.
The Sculptress Sasha in 85H had these same issues but even more pronounced.
I am open to almost all suggestions. I just don't like balconette styles (I don't like the cakes-on-a-platter look) and fullcup bras tend to be way too tall for me.I would also like a bra that is untextured, so it can be invisible under my work-shirts, as they are pretty tight
... keep reading on reddit ➡
Does anyone know which of these bras is likely to have the most projection at the wire in their respective correct sizes? Sculptress Chi Chi, Sculptress Candi, Elomi Jodi, Elomi Morgan. Many thanks!
After the latest round of my wife's grousing about bras, I thought I'd see if we could get her something more comfortable. She is currently wearing a Maidenform Lilyette 42C, but we just took the measurements and calculated that 40DD/E was the recommended size. She is skeptical that she would need that big of a cup, and going down in band size. But it isn't that big of a cup size difference, considering that 40DD is only one size up from 40D, the sister size of 42C (right?). Initial skeptisism seems to be expected from the FAQ. Her measurements:
- Loose underbust: 41"
- Snug underbust: 40.5"
- Tight underbust: 38"
- Standing bust: 46"
- Leaning bust: 46"
- Lying bust: 45"
..and her breasts appear projected, pendulous, full on bottom to neutral, center full, and more conical than omega. Not exactly sure how to gauge root size. Any help quantifying this would be helpful. Best guess is short root in the up-down direction, but wide root in the left-right direction (when standing). She doesn't currently do any scoop and swoop. Nursed 4 kids.
So from the list of bras from the shape guide, we're looking at (in no particular order, but all on Amazon):
- Sculptresse Women's Plus-Size Flirtini
- Elomi Caitlyn
- Fantasie Alex
...with the main goal to be everyday comfort, not fashion. Any thoughts on those (or other) bras and the size presented earlier? Do you have a particular favorite in this size range? Apparently there is some variation in how various manufacturers measure band size, and according to Bra Nightmares, Sculptresse runs smaller than Elomi? Has that been your experience as well?
Thanks!
I found my size using the calculator & guides from this reddit (46H UK), and I tried several bras off of Amazon to confirm the sizing & see what fit best. The Sculptress Chi Chi was definitely the best fit. The other two I tried were Elomi Cate Underwire Full Cup Banded Bra and Goddess Keira Banded Underwire Bra; the gore didn't lay flat on those & they weren't as comfortable.
I'm looking for alternatives to the Sculptress Chi Chi that have a similar fit. Thanks!
This year I finally found my btf, Sculptresse by Panache as mentioned in the title, and have been happily existing in the comfort provided by having my girls be so well supported. The problem I'm now facing is in getting more of them. It's proving almost impossible to find that fit in my size. Can anyone recommend a similarly fitting model/design? I'm currently wearing the one I have every other weekday and just suffering through the experience of one of my poorly fitting older bras on the 'off' weekdays and weekends because I'm worried about wearing it out too quickly. Any advice /suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I just got my first bra in my new size. I'm having some gapping in the cup, much more on the right than the left. I'm also having trouble with the underwire. I don't know if this is just the fact of underwires or if it's because the fit is off? Where should the underwire be sitting? Right now it's digging into the tissue underneath and is poking my armpit. The gore seems to be tacking perfectly and it looks like the strap is good in back.

Hello friends!
I messaged the mods of /r/Favors, and they pointed me here. I have a unique situation.
I'm a very amateur sculptress, and I'd like to change that. I'm also struggling financially. I'd love nothing else than to get paid full time for my sculpting - but for now, I need more experience.
I'm offering to make a medium sized (about 5" tall) sculpture of your choice for $100. If you would like something larger or smaller, I'm more than willing to talk about price vs. size / time. Materials do not matter, and I will pack and ship on my dime.
The unique situation - I would really like to have the money ASAP (which is why I tried to see if I could Trade in /r/favors). My bank account is in the hole because of an automatic CC payment, and I haven't been paid since then. Today they started tacking on the daily $15 extended overdraft fee that will continue until I pay them.
I work hourly and I work for family which means I get ZERO holiday pay; I'll get 20 hours on this next check. I'll have to figure out how I'm going to pay my $90 bank fee, put gas in my car, pay my phone bill, and there is this nasty habit of eating that I'm plagued with. I'll be able to squeeze by if I can get this bank account sorted out. I know how to be poor, I don't know how to be in debt.
But I do know how to sculpt! Human forms are tough for me (an anatomy class is in my future..) I prefer creatures, bugs, objects but of course I'm willing to try to make ANYTHING. I'd love to make a weapon of some sort, but I haven't quite figured out how to replicate a nice looking blade with polymer clay.
Here is some of my completed work
I know it's not a lot, but it is all I have completed. I also make Christmas Statues for my whole family. Last year I made everyone 2011 Snowmen, and this year it was 2012 Penguins. I probably made 150 of each.
Other Current projects I have -
- "Realistic" Enderman from Minecraft (this is where anatomy would come in handy, I've remade his arms about 3 or 4 times.)
- Cylon Centurion Bust from BSG (BY YOUR COMMAND)
Future projects I will be doing -
- The Eragon Dragon (I forget the name - it is a gift for a friend)
- The Silence from Doctor Who (I'm excited to start this one! But I have other things to do first... including your sculpture!)
Even if I can't get the money in time, this is something I've been wanting to do for a while now. Money comes and goes - I'd really like to make things for people.
**EDIT: So f
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello, it was recently suggested to me to try a Sculptress Chi Chi bra in size 40G, and it finally came in the mail today! I was pretty disappointed however... I'm beginning to lose hope. Here are some pictures: NSFW
The biggest issue I noticed is the gaps at the top of the cups and some wrinkling at the bottoms. I tried both tightening and loosening the straps to no avail. This bra also made my boobs very pointy... which I can't stand lol. I guess I'm just not a fan of the thin/unlined cups verses the thicker/padded (molded?) ones.
I have the worst luck with underwires. I just can't seem to find some that don't squeeze or poke me in the most uncomfortable way. I'm plus size, and I have a lot of arm fat, so this may be contributing to that. I couldn't tell if these underwires were too short/tall. I believe they were in the right place, they just dug into me so bad, especially on my right side.
The gore laid flat, but came up a little higher than I'm used to. I think I could probably live with it though.
The straps may have been too wide, I kept feeling like I needed to pull them up even though they weren't falling down. This could have been because of the uncomfortable underwires though.
Are there any adjustments I can make to make this bra work? I so desperately wanted it to, not only because I just really want a bra that works with me but also because I can't really afford to keep buying/trying new ones.
Here are my measurements:
snug underbust - 42.5 inches
tight underbust - 39
standing bust - 49.5
leaning bust - 54.5
laying down bust - 52
I thought I was full on top, but I'm beginning to wonder if that's not the case. It seems like just about every bra I try on has gap issues on the top of the cups.
ETA: Forgot to say the band felt fine, nice and snug
Hey all, I've got FOT pendulous breasts with pretty soft tissue. Here's a bunch of bras I just tried! Several of these had wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, Charley was the worst but I believe Matilda had some too.
ELOMI MORGAN - this felt like the best of the bunch to me, which suggests I need a lot of projection https://imgur.com/a/BpcXAZC/
ELOMI MATILDA - this one was okay. Maybe a little gapping at the top of the cup https://imgur.com/a/zZd1GR6/
ELOMI CHARLEY - this one had noticeable wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, especially on the right https://imgur.com/a/14lNxaK/
SCULPTRESSE CHICHI - this was probably the other best fit but not quite as comfortable as the Morgan (a little stiffer) and pretty extreme torpedo-boob. Sort of reinforces my conclusion that I need projection https://imgur.com/a/yiEZdy9/
CLEO ASHER - this fit wasn't terrible but it had gaping at the top and I feel like that horizontal seam across the cup where the stretch lace starts will cut into my breast tissue and make a bump (I had the same problem with Marcie) https://imgur.com/a/yr263Gg/
What do you guys think?
I was trying to get into the foreign office and didn't know how so I looked it up. I then discovered I had to meet with the Bohemian Sculptress back in my veilgarden days, which I didn't manage to do. Is there any way I can get into the foreign office/become acquainted with her now, at levels ~130?
Hi yall. Narrow rooted, slightly full on top 38GG who prefers good side support/4 panel bras here, and have been wearing Panache Chi for forever. But the last 4 bras I've gotten have had horrible quality and Brastop seems to always be having a sale. For this girl who only makes a but over a grand a month, that's attractive.
I see Curvy Kate, Flirtelle... Anybody near my size have opinions on these brands and or recommend any others (at average price point of $80 USD or less when not on sale)??
Also, if y'all near my size have any tips on better shoulder support, I'll love those recommendations first; I have spine issues that affect neck and shoulders and holy crap idk the mm measure on my Chi bras but anything that cuts in less to affect the pressure of my cervical spine, I'd "splurge" on those, for sure!!
Hello all,
I came here because I have had some weight changes and realized my 40D bra was only working on me still because it's super stretched/worn out. I used the calculator and it said I'm a UK 40G (definitely had some cup size sticker-shock aha) and so I bought some bras in that size. None of them have been majorly off, but there are little things with each I haven't been happy with and so wanted to come here for some feedback/ideas for what to try.
For reference, my measurements are:
- Loose: 44"
- Snug: 41"
- Tight: 39"
- Standing: 49"
- Leaning: 51"
- Lying: 48"
Here are some pictures of the bras I've tried (NSFW): https://imgur.com/a/F3xRh79
Sculptresse by Panache: This was the first one I tried (by itself) and sent back, and the pictures were taken without the scoop and swoop method because I wasn't aware of it yet (whoops).
- Pros: I really liked the rounded shape of it and how it had my breasts facing forward instead of to the side. There were no weird lines the fabric made when I put a shirt on over it. This is the only bra I tried where the gore tacked properly.
- Cons: The band felt very tight (maybe with scoop and swoop this could've been fixed) and I did not like how high up the underwire went in the middle. It felt like it stabbed my chest every time I bent over. I'm not used to underwire in general but the middle felt a bit more uncomfortable than just unfamiliarity.
Fantasie Jacqueline Lace Soft Cup:
- Pros: None of the fabric lines look weird under a shirt, straps and band seemed comfy
- Cons: Gore didn't tack. I could also see the lace at the top getting itchy but I haven't worn it long enough to know for sure.
Curvy Kate Unwind:
- Pros: Comfy fabric, straps felt nice
- Cons: Didn't really keep my nipples from poking out if they want to, gore doesn't tack, diagonal lines across the cups where the fabric transition happens is raised and shows pretty clearly under a shirt, the band rolls up underneath my breasts
Royce Charlotte Comfort Bra:
- Pros: The gore almost tacks (more than the curvy kate and fantasie). The straps are comfy.
- Cons: The band rolls up a bit underneath my breast, the line in the middle of the cup shows clearly under a shirt, the gore doesn't completely tack, and I'm not a fan of the shape of the cups and how they push my breasts out to the side and kind of look pointy (?). Not sure if that makes sense or not.
Any ideas for finding something that fits? Am
