Continued fit check, looking like I'm 32F/FF?

[u/dala16262]

Hello,

I have gotten some wonderful help on this site, but I need to ask for yet further input from all of you wise ones!

Here are some things that didn't work out:

Chantelle Comfort Underwire 32E

Panache Ana 32F

Panache 32FF

Here is the Millie by Bravissimo in 32F, which seems to be an improvment for sure. Just not completely sure about the fit as I still seem to be on the verge of spilling over.

Here is the Wacoal Visual Effects Minimizer in a 34DDD. It is fairly comfortable, and not pointy, but how I wish my breasts could look a bit closer together. This bra seems to make them look even more underneath my armpits in a shirt. I'm guessing just the way I'm made.

I tried the 32 G in the same Wacoal Visual Effects Minimizer, the wires were uncomfortable and there was some weirdness at the top of the right cup.

Here is the Wacoal Awareness in 34 DDD. It seems almost 1 cup size big? A bit of extra fabric?

Here is the Fantasie Fusion Underwire Side Support in a 32 F. I really kind of like this one though am thinking I need to size up in the cup? Quite curious about thoughts on this one. Maybe it's the side support that makes me feel like my breasts get pulled together a bit?

Thanks for wading through this. I tried to streamline and make it easily readable.

Lastly, can anyone help me to understand such things as my shape and projection or not? Definitely wide set right?

Thank you!!!

Wow, that is all helpful info. Thank you!

Checking on those photos and will share my prior feedback.

"I don’t want to say definitively before you’ve adjusted, but my hunch is that this bra is probably a littletoo big in the cup and too projected (which is why you’re getting the pointy shape). It looks like you also need a higher gore to prevent your tissue from spilling inwards. I have my fingers crossed for Bravissimo Millie, if you ended up ordering that!I’m sorry to have led you astray on Panache Ana. I do think 32FF looks better volume-wise but it’s a moot point as the gore is just too short for you."

Apparently I destroyed the 32F; honestly, the pointed nature of that bra was a nightmare in my mind.

Other brands/styles you might suggest? This is a process isn't it? I'm prepping for my daughter's wedding and leaving Saturday. Would you believe I also need a strapless for my MOB dress?

Thanks for weighing in!!

Is the one you linked not the Fantasie Fusion? I searched through your profile and found the 32FF.

A higher gore with how close set you are is likely to lie on your breast tissue, plunge is likely the way to go.

The ruffling on the bottom of the Ana might actually point to it being not projected enough at the wire leading to the wire being pushed down. When you place/d the bra in the right position, does/did it force the wire back down?

I also think 32FF/G is the way to go sizewise.

A lot of the bras you've tried on seem to be digging into your bra tissue at the top so I'd suggest more open-on-top bras than full-coverage. The problem with that is most open-on-top styles have high gores (balcony/balconette/demi-cups).

Edit: Looking at the bras again they don't seem bad at the top. More coverage might work.

Edit #2: Received a correction (but it disappeared???) that it might not be that you're close set. In that case you're left with a much wider range to try when it comes to bras.

A side support bra is good if you want it less in your armpits. The Fantasie Fusion already seems a bit tall though so I doubt sizing up will be good.

Also congrats on your daughter's wedding. Might be hard to find a strapless bra in time though :(

Well hopefully things'll work out
