To me you look like the classic combination of FOB with tall, shallow roots. This makes it tough to get a good fit from bras like the Lucy, which have a rigid top section that won't cling and conform and/or wrinkles when it runs into taller tissue (which is what I think is going on with your strap issue). I have this problem too - you're not alone!

There's a two prong starter approach. First, stretch lace:

  • Panache Idina and Idina Plunge - 4-part stretch lace styles similar to the FOB friendly Tango. Firm bands like Cleo, so try 32F.
  • Panache Andorra and Clara - always forget these two. Can be a bit pointy in shape and not specifically FOB, but nice 4-part stretch lace cups. 32F
  • Lepel Fiore, Fiore Balconette and Fiore Plunge - stretch lace styles from a brand similar to Cleo. Bands are stretchier according to Bratabase, so you'll probably be comfortable in a 30FF.
  • Just Peachy Balconette - Figleaves.com house brand; an entirely stretch lace balconette. Bratabase says true to size, so 32F.

    Second, half cups:

  • Freya Padded Half-Cups - numerous and dominating the market. The Patsy and Rapture are the classics, though. Freya runs stretchy; 30FF.
  • Cleo Maddie and Juna - molded half cups are a tough fit, but these are two very popular styles.

    I don't think you should size down in the Lucy - it looks like you fill out the bottom well, and a 32E would probably be too small.

    Edit: Added the Andorra and Clara!

I am a similar size, full on bottom, and also dislike showing any nipple. I like this Cleo balconnet. They used to run $70-$80 but lately they’re $25 on Amazon w free returns. Double great!

Edit- not sure why the link is to a 34FF, but it does come in bands 28-38. I’ve got a 28F right now but have varied a bit.

No, it's okay! I figured you didn't know the name, and that's fine. And sizing conversions can be very confusing, especially since US sizing is not consistent after DD and UK brands don't always list the correct US size on their tags.

It looks like a pretty good fit to me as long as the gore is tacking. Most UK brands do set their straps pretty wide, especially for balconettes and halfcups like Maddie, which typically have wider set straps than plunges and full cups (there's a good blog post about this here). And we do consider comfort an important fit factor - it's useless if the bra fits perfectly if it's so uncomfortable you don't want to wear it!

Nordstrom Rack's selection does tend to be quite hit-or-miss for the sizes that most or all US brands don't make (aka 'matrix sizes').

Since you like Maddie and already know how it fits on you, maybe you could order it online in 30F? Right now on Amazon it's on sale in 30F in this same color for $33 with free returns. It's also Prime eligible if you have Prime. http://www.amazon.com/Cleo-Womens-Maddie-Balconnet-T-Shirt/dp/B00F09ZO84/
