Wide and Shallow cups

All right, ladies. Can you tell me which styles and brands have cups that are wide and shallow?

I'm really struggling here to find things that fit. I *think* I know the style that I need, and it turns out to be a horrible fit.

MEASUREMENTS
Loose ribcage: 31"
Tighter ribcage: 30"

Naked bust parallel to the floor measurement: 41"
Naked bust standing: 36"
Perimeter: 10" (I think. I thought I was measuring correctly, but maybe not and that's why my choices are all wrong)

Nursed two babies.
Very soft, pliable tissue.
Bottom heavy.
Narrow shoulders.
Wide set
High on chest


Even the bra that I thought fit, doesn't fit right now. I can't afford to order a bunch more bras to see *if* they fit.
Any help is appreciated

  • Ok, since I am the shallowest among shallow (well I'm not but I've looked into the shallow problems like madness :D)

    First: What did you think would work and why? :)

  • My first 2 bras in my "new" size were: Cleo Lucy 30G and Claudette Dessous 30FF. Picked those because they were a good price and in my size. Didn't realize until after that I couldn't exchange them as they were final sale. Over sight on my part.

    I went with what I had and based my next choices on how those fit/didn't fit with the 3 cup measurements, and the these will also fit/same cut/similar measurements section on bratabase.

    The rubypink katie and fantasie smoothing t-shirt were based on the similar measurements to the Cleo lucy
