Damn gores!
Is there a way to search on here for bras according to gore width? These gores seem to be my worst problem in finding a bra right now. I've honed in on a size range and have actually found a couple that pretty much fit except the daggone gores are too wide! I suppose I'm very close-set.... *EDIT* I just realized the search I was looking for would be "cup separation" ...

I don't even consider myself to be very close-set, I can't imagine what struggles truly close-set women go through! With most bras, the gore doesn't sit straight, it angles to the right usually on my body. While braless you wouldn't ever guess that that'd be an issue of mine. They're not remarkably wide-set nor close-set.
Gore height is also important in working around this problem. I can wear a fairly high gore if it is narrow but once the gore is too wide it becomes a problem. However, if the gore is lower it hits me in a place where the width does not matter as much. For example, Elomi Libby 36J (high gore) terrible fit, wires sit on tissue due to major center fullness- Elomi Eva 36J (not plunge but mid height gore)great fit.
