Bra fitting help » Gore too wide, band too loose.

Issue resolved
Thanks for the help ladies. I'm going to try full on bottom bras with more projection, narrower wires and lacey cups.
Original problem
Hi everyone, hoping you all are having a good day. I need help with my shape and hopefully some recs on what to try next. I always have a problem with the gore being too wide and sitting on breast tissue. This one is the same. All the Panache bras I’ve tried are also the same, too wide gore. The band on this bra is also too loose. The cup looks good though (I think?), not a lot of wrinkles. I guess I am wondering what to try next and if my shape assessment is correct (even to Full on top, tall roots, average projection, close set, center full, average root width?). Thank you!

I think the wrinkle on the side in pic #12 is typical when a wire is too wide or too wide set. The cup "volume" may be correct but it's too east/west as opposed to being deeper and more close set, which will bring your breasts to the front of your chest where they belong.
If a 32 band is too loose, try going down to 30/65 and then up at least a cup size to 30/65F in a bra with narrow gores and deeper cups - like Polish bras have. You may need 65FF in EM. It's a good place to start.
Yes. Your roots are tall(ish) and you appear to be more full on bottom than top.Updated on February 12, 2019 Flag this

Tall shallow roots have a hard time with FOB cut bras. Anything with closed off cups can cut into the upper root because they expected your boobs to end before the cup does. Anything with stretch lace on top will be a good place to start.

Sovavosi Thank you! I will try to look for FOB bras with a lacey top!
AprilGoulding Thank you for your comment. I do think the wires may be too wide on this one, I wasn't too sure because of the "dimple" I have on the left side on pic #9 (but maybe that is more fat than boob). I do wish this bra brought them more to the front like you suggest!
When I bend over fully to 90 degrees it feels like there is breast tissue up to 2 fingers (1.5" maybe) from my collar bone. I'm not sure the picture I put bending shows it well, but when I bend and touch there it feels soft like breast tissue. And there seems to be more tissue on the top half than on the bottom (my tissue is very soft though, not sure if it matters). That's why I thought I was full on top, but maybe I am more full on bottom like you suggest. I definitely need to try more full on bottom bras! Thank you for your recs and suggestions, I will see if I can try a 65FF EM bra soon.
