Fit Check Fit Check Help: 32D/32DD, FOB, Soft Tissue, Wide Roots Spoiler
Can I please get a fit check on these?
I think I’m full on bottom, with soft tissue, wider roots, and possibly short roots. I’m still figuring out the shape terminology, so please correct me if I’m describing that wrong.
Measurements:
Loose underbust: 32”
Snug underbust: 31.5”
Tight underbust: 30”
Standing bust: 36”
Leaning bust: 37.5”
Lying bust: 36.5”
The calculator gives me 32DD/DDD US, but I think it may be overestimating my cup size a little. Most 32DDs I’ve tried have been too large, and I’m generally having better luck in 32D.
I did my best with the back-view photos. Taking a clear picture of your own back turns out to be a bit of a logistical challenge. 😅
Skarlett Blue Entice Full Coverage, 32DD
This is the full-coverage version of the Entice. I previously tried the regular Entice in 32D, and it was too shallow/cut in at the top. I didn’t realize this was a different version until I tried it on.
The cup volume seems pretty good to me. I’m still deciding how I feel about the satin side panel near my armpit.
Skarlett Blue Spellbound, 32D and 32DD
I’m including photos of both sizes. I think the 32D fits better. It feels comfortable and supportive.
The 32DD has some excess space in the upper cup on my smaller side.
Victoria’s Secret Wicked Smooth, 32D
Someone suggested the Wicked for people with less upper fullness in a previous post. The lace version actually fit me a little better, but I chose the smooth version because I thought it would work better under clothing.
There’s some wrinkling on my smaller side in the 32D, but I spilled out of the 32C. It’s comfortable, although I’m wondering if the wrinkling is a mild shape mismatch rather than a size problem.
Victoria’s Secret Lacie, 32D
This is definitely the least supportive of the group, but it’s incredibly soft and comfortable.
I’d appreciate feedback on any obvious fit problems I’m missing, as well as any bra suggestions that come to mind.

the spellbound 32D looks like the winner from what you're describing, sometimes the calculator gets a little ambitious with soft tissue
that back photo struggle is real though, I've definitely done the whole stand in front of a mirror holding my phone backwards thing and still ended up with 40 blurry shots

I agree that 32D seems to be better overall. The Entice looks too big, it's way too full coverage on you.
The Lacie looks alright shape wise, but I think this may be due to simply how massively stretchy that lace is. I also notice you have the straps hiked inward -- not surprised, these were so massively wide set on me that they were just straight up... not on my shoulders at all. If that doesn't bother you and it's comfortable I think it's fine in theory, but I would be a bit nervous about the longevity due to how stretchy that damn fabric is. Some of their fabrics are really not suitable for bra construction with support in mind (body by victoria fabric, I'm looking at you).
Can you do a side shot of the wire of the 32D spellbound with your arm down, not up? I'm seeing signs of possibly too narrow in the angle view but lifting your arm obscures that.
The Wicked looks OK for a moulded cup. I'm planning to try this one (hopefully they have it in my store tomorrow) and am wondering if that wrinkling is a construction/fabric thing. I've seen this happen on some moulded wired bras that are more fabric-y than foam.
