Help! What should I try next for my wide & shallow body?
I'm just getting started trying to find the right fit for me.
My measurements are: Underbust (snug): 31" Underbust (tight): 29.5" Leaning Bust: 38" Lying & Standing Bust: 36.5"
I'm wide root & shallow & most likely FOB, but I think my tissue starts clear up at my collarbone. I might have close set breasts? I'm pretty sure they are splayed. I've been wearing compression sports bras for 7+ years (stay-at-home mom) so I know I have migrated tissue.
I'm loving Amazon Prime & the ability to try then return bras right now!!!
I ordered Panache Juna in 32F & 32FF. The 32F tacked on top better but dug into my sides and I had more "armpit fat". The 32FF encompassed more of my tissue on the sides but did not tack as well on top. The gore on both was a bit too high. Can that be changed on the Juna?
I also ordered a Cleo Marcie in 32F & FF, but both were too big on top.
The final style I ordered was a Freya Patsy in 32FF. That did not tack well on the top 1/2 of the cup either and appeared to be too big in the band & cup. The gore was too high and dug in. The straps rubbed in the armpit region & would probably fall off my shoulders. It did go far enough back on the sides though to get most of my (migrated) tissue. The wires felt the best of all 3 styles on this bra. I'm thinking of ordering the Patsy in 30F & FF. This would give me a smaller cup, but hopefully not too much smaller of wires.
I'm thinking of trying the Freya Lauren, along with the Cleo Lori/Maddie/Lucy. What would be a better bet to get the wide wires & shallow cups that I need? Or if I wear a 32FF Cleo Juna for awhile to bring the tissue back would I probably fill the front out better? Thanks for the help! I would be grateful for any suggestions!

Freya Lauren and Cleo Maddie are supposed to be pretty shallow and wide. I think your measurements are leaning more towards 32F. Have you tried any Panache bras other than Cleos? I feel they may be better if you want something wider and shallower.
I tried the Panache Loretta, but it was a 30E and too much of a plunge. Not the right size or style I don't think.
The Freya Patsy 32 was too big in the band, so I ordered it in the 30F and 30FF. I thought about the Freya Lauren, but it wasn't available with Amazon Prime. I'll see how the Patsy fits and go from there. I'm also trying the Cleo Lucy in 32F. I'll look at other Panache's on my next order!
