Something weird happening with the gore...

This started with my 28D - Freya » Starlet Verticle Seam Bra (1061). The gore on that bra goes all crooked on me. The left side rides lower than the right, and the left underwire also sits on breast tissue at the gore and a little toward the bottom. I dont notice any pain or anything but it looks pretty bad from the wire marks when I take the bra off. I thought maybe the bra was crooked/defective.

Well, now I'm noticing it with my 28D - Panache » Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) too! Actually, I have two of these in different colors, and it's happening with both. I think the problem is getting worse.

I am doing some pretty hard strength training and my body is changing a lot right now. It wouldn't be surprising if the fit of my bras changed, but this doesn't seem to be a straightforward size issue.

Anyone else experience a similar problem? I might have to post a fit request if I can get some updated pictures. OY.

  • Is this something that could be due to slightly asymmetrical muscle development in a body part that affects strap or underwire fit? Like pecs or something?

  • I have the same issue with some bras. Panache Andorra I sent back for this reason - the gore was sitting really crooked, practically bending over itself and cutting into 1 boob in the middle.

    For me, this mostly seems to happen on bras with too high and / or too wide centre gores (I'm fairly close-set). Could this be your problem too? Did you gain centre fullness, maybe by working out? I can imagine if your pectoral muscles grow, the boob tissue will be pushed to the centre a bit more.

    Also, do you have a size difference between left and right boob? For me; my left is about half a cup bigger and I feel this doesn't help with gores twisting or bending weirdly.

    Re-measuring yourself might provide some insight?
