Fleur du Mal

My measurements right now: Loose Underbust: 27.5" Snug Underbust: 26.5" Tight Underbust: 26" Standing Bust: 34" Leaning Bust: 35" Lying Bust: 34.5" Calculator says I'm a 28G/H US and a 28F/FF; however ***before*** the augmentation (28DD per calc) I actually found that I preferred the fit of a 30D, so I think I need to stick with the 30 band. So far I've come across these brands carrying a 30F/G in size that I think I like the look of: \-Syrn (don't really want to buy here for personal reasons but they seem to have cute styles in the right size. Their size chart feels odd though, says I'm a 32B which, I know I'm not because previous 32 bands never felt supportive) \-ThirdLove \-Fleur du Mal \-Cuup \-Nuudi (more of a bralette than a bra) \-HoneyLove I know the calculator can be a bit off with the sizing for augmented girlies so I'm planning to find a store to just go try some on and confirm. If you're augmented, where are you finding comfy bras that fit small band, big bust, and the augmented shape?

I have pretty significant pectus excavatum, dense breast tissue, and I’m in the US. Having a chest deformity makes all of this guesswork extra difficult. TLDR; I need a cup that is wider so it doesn’t cut into breast tissue under my armpit, and a little help finding something that won’t gape over my right breast and actually shield my nipples. I also don’t want to feel like the bra is up to my collar bone. And I’m boycotting VS. The calculator suggested UK sizes: 30 E/F or 32 DD/E based on these measurements: Loose under: 31 Snug: 30 Tight: 29 Standing bust: 36.5 Leaning: 37 Lying: 36.2 A year or two ago I bought some Victoria’s Secret Demi style bras in 34 C. I probably should have gotten 32 D at the time as I have found myself using the tightest hook and the straps don’t want to stay up. I’ve gained a little weight since then and now I have this issue where I don’t have quad boob, but it feels like more of my breast is above the cup than within it. My nipples are barely contained and the underwire is pressing into my ribs underneath my breasts. I recently bought two 34DD bras made by Natori that seemed to fit great at the time. The 32DDD probably fit better but made me feel like I couldn’t breathe! I also tried on Wacoal and they were all too big or too small. Now I feel like the Natori I purchased are too big so I tried putting a little pad/cutlet in the smaller cup, but it didn’t work for me. 😣 I wouldn’t say my breasts are shallow (or are they?), but they are wide/round and I think I have “short roots” since they have more mass width-wise than top and bottom. I cannot wear full coverage style bras. Looking at the shape guide, my beasts are even at 2/5, with a very slight tendency to be full on the bottom and there is very little difference to their shape when supported or in a bra (unless it’s a push up, of course). The pectus excavatum makes my right breast a little smaller, but only towards the center of my chest making it project like it’s cross eyed, and I can barely fit a finger between my breasts. I’m also only five feet tall and I often feel like bras are just made for longer bodies. I’ve ordered a few bras online to try different brands including Fleur du Mal and Third Love, and I’m looking at Chantelle, Freya, and some others suggested by this subreddit. Please let me know if you have suggestions! Thanks so much ☺️

my favourite luxury lingerie brands are maison close, agent provocateur and fleur du mal. agent provocateur has some insane prices however they also always have a reasonable prices clearance section with cute pieces and their more expensive pieces make for a perfect gift!

I've been building a mood board around what I call my "dark romance" aesthetic and wanted to share it here. The vibe: deep burgundy and wine tones, black mesh panels, architectural strap details, bold color blocking. Think less Victoria's Secret pink and more... candlelit Parisian apartment at midnight. This Obsessive body is basically the mood board in one piece - the burgundy-black contrast, the structured silhouette, the halter detail that makes it feel almost like a fashion piece you could style outward. Brands that nail this aesthetic: * Obsessive (this body is a perfect example) * Bordelle (if your budget allows... mine usually doesn't lol) * Bluebella (the Marseille and Catalina lines especially) * Fleur du Mal (the silk pieces are unreal) What's your go-to dark/romantic aesthetic? Or are you more of a soft pastel person? Curious what styles people here gravitate toward.
