    another cup size question

    does anyone know about the way the bra on a rings of desire costume is made relative to other pharaonics? https://www.dahlal.com/default.aspx?n=1&lpc=1&lpo=6 (pg 9)

    im wondering if they take a standard cup that they use on any other costume and ADD the ring in the center of the bra (there-by adding to the total width of the cup) OR is the space the ring takes up removed from the cups before attaching(there-by making the width on the cups of a rings-of desire the same as the same-number-cup on, say... a great loop)?
    im looking to buy another pharaonics and since i don't exactly have access to a store with a bunch to try on, or another costume with the same number cup to compare my rings to, i'm trying to figure out what size would be better.
    thanks!

    Re: another cup size question

    I think the ring is additional real estate, at least on larger sizes. When I had this costume, the cups on the size I normally buy fit me fine in terms of volume, but the the bra had a wider-than-usual front ribcage measurement (distance between outside cup edges). I'll be curious to see other responses.

    Re: another cup size question

    I've tried on a rings of desire recently. Didn't buy because of the color but I can tell you that the space in between the cups is no more than any other Pharaonics that I own (I usually get a #3 bra). Can't compare to a great loop b/c I don't have but I'm particularly sensitive to space between the boobs (I hate it... I need the "full" look) and it was just fine on me. Hope that helps!

    Re: another cup size question

    my problem is that a size 3 (with padding) would be perfect, IF the ring is extra and that ribcage space doesn't exist on a great loop. IF the ring isn't extra space, then a 3 would be too big, and since a great loop doesn't have that ring i can't modify it once i buy it.
    the thing is, i do barely fit into the 2. also, the bd store has gotten a lot of new bedlahs, but none of them are #2 silver great loops :( so im trying to figure out if i'd be better off/could just get a #3 and not end up with the cups in my armpits.
    thanks for sharing you're experiences. although im a bit confused since there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

    Why don't you email the BD store and ask if someone can measure one?
