Hi, I have been doing a lot of blog reading recently, trying to find what sort of bras would best suit my size and shape. I have worn Bravissimo 34H since DC but at the weekend was fitted as a 32HH, 32H in Cleo and fantasie and 30HH in Freya ( not that Freya bras seem made for me)
My boobs are quite close set - less than a little finger width between them visibly, so my understanding is that I should look at plunge bras, however I am also full in the middle so fall out of plunge bras very easily or they start wrinkling under my cleavage ( a bit like my boobs eating the bra - nice). I have tended to go for higher gore balconettes (Bravissimo but am finding my previous favourite Boudoir Beau to have an odd shape in my new size) and am trying a Cleo Marcie today (wires sit almost one on the other so good for the close set) but still get empty cup where the strap joins.
Does anyone else have this mix ( close set, full in middle ) and are there any suggestions for a better fit?

When you have a lot of inner quadrant fullness, it often makes the breasts look closer than they are. The fact you've been able to wear all these higher gore bras without mentioning floating gore or pain from gore sitting on breast tissue makes me think you should focus on looking for tall, narrow gores to support you properly.
Thank you, I only get floating gore with Freya ( I had a Leia fitting a couple of weeks ago where the woman said I should scoop away from the gore and toward the armpit and that I'd never get a gore to tack fully - which I haven't in Freya).
I am wearing Cleo Marcie today and you cannot see the gore - my boobs are touching above it but it does not hurt, occasionally it rubs a little but nothing major. Are the Cleo's and Bravissimos what you mean by tall and narrow gores ?
