Overwhelmed! Need recs!

I'm just overwhelmed with all the options!

So my biggest problems are I have wide set, splayed, shallow breasts and most bras don't go far enough into my sides and under my armpits to get all my tissue (if i go up in cup sizes to get the larger underwires, I just can't fill up the cups). I have a Freya right now that is pretty great, reaches almost all the way to my armpits, but that brings me to my second problem: back fat. I love "back smoothing" bras, like Vanity Fair's Back Smoothing bra, with a leotard back. But the cups are not wide enough. I tried Orlinas bras, and the cups are WONKY- super pointy on me and push them in front way too much.

Any suggestions? I measure for a 34D, but usually buy a 36 C because I hate having fat bulging out on my back. I carry a lot of my weight in my back, shoulders and arms.

  • The broadest wired and most shallow bra that I can think of is the Natori Feathers.

  • I like Comexim half cups. The 2HC might fit your shallow wide breasts well. I order each of my bras with 3x4 fasteners so the band is wider. Their eleastic is also very stretchy. However, I carry all my weight on my lower half. So, someone else may have a better suggestion.
