Lift?
I realized I'm relatively low set and I have a short torso, I can fit about two fingers between my hips and ribs when I stand straight. My breasts start about a hands width under my collar bones. If I push up and in slighty on the breast like I think a bra might my breast tissue starts 2 fingers' width below my collarbone. This probably sounds silly but I have a mole on my arm and I noticed the my nipples sit just slightly below it and with a bra on they sit just slightly above it maybe a 1/2 inch difference. Also when. I look at my bra pictures it doesn't look like my bras are really doing much work. I do notice that my bras center my breasts better but it doesn't seem like they lift them as much as I would hope. I don't think my breastfeeding droop naturally too much but that might be optical illusion from projection and nipple placement. I hate wearing v neck or scoop shirts- which seem to basically be every tee shirt- because it seems like there is so much distance between my chin and my boobs that my neck looks abnormally long and my boobs very low. Maybe it just being overly insecure at the moment but does anyone else have any of these issues or solutions?

Mine sit really low too! I can actually almost fit a vertical hand between collarbone and top of round part of breast if I don't have a bra on - but there's little to no droop. My inframammary fold isn't even covered by tissue. I despise it - always felt like it makes me look saggy and I worry when I really start to develop a pendulous shape they'll be at my belly-button. I think it might be related to tall roots - the actual breast tissue goes thinly up to my collarbone, which shows when they're pushed up, but is ski slope-y down. Looking at your pictures, our shapes look similar.
As far as lift - I've had good luck with Cleo , padded Freya (only the vertical seam ones), Fantasie , and Comexim .
Panache, Parfait By Affinitas, Curvy Kate, molded Passionata, and molded Panache Cleo all seem to shape my boobs without giving them much lift. YMMV, but I think it is partially cup placement on band, and partially where the apex of the cup is.
In my case, tall roots seem to go with narrow roots, so narrow wires have a better chance of moving things upward instead of squidging them sideways. Lots of immediate projection at the bottom also helps.
Comexim and Anna Pardal lift like I never thought possible. Without these bras, even the lowest v-neck shows no breast tissue. The lift in my Comexim bras move my splayed tissue to center and create gentle, lifted cleavage. I so appreciate the lift! Hope you find a few bras that cause you to smile!
