'Stupid' question about breasts
What makes breasts pointy or round? Is it the nipple?
My breasts appear pointy in a lot ofunlined bras, the exceptions that I can think of being Cleo Marcie, CK Florence, Ewa BM/3DM, and all unlined Comexims.
But for example, I just got the Heidi Klum Sofie bra, and it's really pointy. When I look at the pics here, most breasts look round.

I think some of it is just how the breast is shaped. I mean, some breasts that are very full-on-bottom look pointy in bras designed for full-on-top breasts. FOT breasts tend to look very round because they mound up so much above the nipples.
But what I remember from some of your bras, you look to be very firm, like its hard for a bra to shape your breasts. Mine are so very soft that its pretty easy to fit them in to whatever shape. Well, not as easy as I used ot think - bras without enough apex projection still dont work because my boobs are long, but they are also full all over but smaller at the root . . . like an orange in a sock, i think someone once said? except more like a giant mango or something, rounded but oblong.
i think i'm tired and rambling lol
I think dbmamaz is spot on - shape really seems to be due to the distribution of tissue, and how a bra does or doesn't shape the tissue.
I'm naturally very pointy, and not really full anywhere, and unlined bras that don't provide the right kind of shaping for me (e.g. Panache Andorra Plunge, Panache Envy) just reinforce that pointy shape. However, a bra that gives support and shaping where I need it - such as Marcie - gives me a more rounded profile.
But, I haven't yet really identified the magic formula for which bras work with and against my shape!
