Overlapping or Narrow Gore
I just learned something interesting about Comexim gore alterations, apparently overlapping gore and a narrower gore are different. Overlapping is where the wires touch at the top of the gore, but the bottom goes back to the normal gore width. While a narrowed gore is one where the entire gore is narrowed from top to bottom. Can anyone tell me which one fits each type of center full/close set busts.
IMO one type looks more like 00/UU where they are close set and center full, but have an equal amount of space (or no space) between top and bottom in the center. The other type is more like /\ where they touch in the middle but have more space at the bottom than the top. I do not consider this to be "splayed," but rather the center fullness weighing the breast out because the outer fullness is low/not there. In my case I have even top/bottom fullness, but I have a lot of right/left aka inner fullness and have a slight /\ shape.
Has anyone noticed what type of fullness shape they have and whether or not a overlapping or a narrowed gore worked better for their shape?

Order both alterations in one bra if you are close-set from top to bottom.
Make a hand bra and look how your breasts sit. Mine are close from top to bottom and I require both overlapping and narrowed gore in the same bra.
