Shape:
-Center/ Inner Fullness (horizontal)
-Slightly FOT/ Even (vertical)
-Pendulous, Some Ptosis (breasts hang well below IMF when unsupported)
-Average Projection
-Narrow Root ... Width
-Average/ Slightly Short Root Height

-Body Shape:
-Short-torso, short overall (5'2" tall)
- Overweight/ Borderline-Obese: 160 lbs
- 42"-32"-42" (bust-waist-hips)

Size:
Generally 32GG/ 34G (UK) seems to be my best size, but I've started to wear more 32 GG to get better support from the band because my snug underbust measurement is about 33" and my tight measurement is about 30"

My main issues are quadboob due to my inner/ center fullness, underwires not staying in my IMF/ digging into ribs, and wires that are too wide for my narrow roots and too high for my short waisted torso. They dig into my armpit/ tail of spence. When the gores do tack, they painfully rub against my sternum. Did not fit great: Panache Envy 34G, Panache Clara 32H, Cleo Marcie 32GG, and Cleo Lucy 32 GG. The styles I like (half cup, balconet) do not come in my size. Or, if they do, they look like full cups in my size.

The Ewa Michalak Klaudyna bra I tried in 75G (34G UK) has had the best projection of all the bras tried so far. It also accomodated my inner fullness well. However, like Cleo/ Panache, the straps are too wide, and the cups and underwires dig painfully into my armpit/ tail of spence/ side of arm areas. The cup had a little bit of extra space in the side/ corner where I am especially shallow in comparison to my inner/center fullness (next to the gore)

The Comexim Rita Plunge was very comfortable in terms of strap width (could stand to be a couple cm less), underwire height, etc. The narrow wire width was perfect. However, there did not seem to be enough immediate projection at the bottom, and the cups were a bit too shallow at the top-center for my inner fullness shape.

Next, I'm going to try some Comexim Half-Cups.

EM CHP Klaudyna 75G (34:9) vs. Comexim 75HH Rita Plunge (34:9)
CHP Gore is +0.9" (a little high)
CHP Wire Length is +1" (too long)
CHP wing height is +0.4 (feels higher/ too high?)
CHP Cup depth is 11" vs. Rita 10.2" (CHP is better)

Cup Depth of my best fitting bras ranges from 9.8-11.9". My larger individual breast perimeter is about 12" horizontal, 11" vertical. 10.5-12" depths seem best based on the measurements of the bras tried thus far.



*Notes to self:
<10 cm wire length seems better.
