I have a 34FF Panache Tango Balconnet that fits perfectly... BUT... it doesn't lift and centralize the breasts. They seem low and slightly east-west.
I want to find a bra that fits this perfectly but gives me the lift I desire. I have purchased and tried over 30 bras in recent months. Many of them fit beautifully but NONE really give me the shape I want.
I want them higher and more rounded and more OUT THERE. I think maybe I need a cup with more projection near the gore.
Though my chest is relatively "large", I do NOT look like I have a large chest. They look smaller than they "should" be. I want to look more proportionately balanced.
band snug 34
band tight 32
standing 39
leaning 45
laying 42.5
My basic measurements are Bust 41 Waist 34 Hips 43 but I look very bottom heavy. I wear size 12 jeans and PXL shirts. I am 5'1" and 170 lbs.
Suggestions are welcome!!

Sometimes part of the hunt for the perfect bra includes accepting the shape we have vs the shape we picture for ourselves. for a while I was unhappy with how 'pointy' i looked in very projected bras, but the bras that gave me a rounder shape were painful. I finally realized my projected boobs ARE sort of pointy. Pointier-looking bras fit me better because they follow my shape better.
Can you make your breasts be the shape you want with your hands? Are they shape-able that way?
That is a GREAT question and a great point. My tissue is soft beyond words. While I have a "shape", there is no real substance to it. It's much like a loosely (as opposed to tightly) filled water balloon. Therefore, I depend greatly upon the bra itself to give me a shape. Yes, I can easily form (with my hands) the shape I am describing.
