I ordered a 30 FF Frey Marvel Side Panel bra in another failed attempt at finding a bra that fits my shape. Initially I thought I had struck gold and finally found one for me. The gore felt like it dug into my chest but it was negligible until I wore it for a while and then OW.
The problem was that the wire was about an inch below my IMF which also occurred to me in the Panache Porcelain I tried a while back. Also both this and the Parfait Jeanie European had issues where the area where the strap and bra cup connect dug into my armpit (Which I think is related to the wings??). I have very short rooted breasts that are splayed with about 2 inches in between them and I'm having a hell of a time finding something that fits. I just can't make this work and it's making me feel :(

If any of y'all could please help me find something, I'm just a young girl desperate for a proper boob holder so I would appreciate it a lot!!

  • I had a similar experience with the Marvel, at first it seemed perfect and I loved it, but now I notice the wires sit just below my IMF. The problem is that this bra is too shallow for me, and so possibly also for you.

    I also have quite short, wide set and splayed boobs, that are evenly full, with a little fullness on top that gives me quad boob in anything that is even close to a full cup.

    My best option so far is the Cleo Minnie (and to a lesser extent, the Marcie). These bras have much more projection and as a result, their wires stay perfectly in my IMF and they give me tons of lift.

    Also, where the Marvel (and other Freya half cups) keep my boobs pretty much where they are naturally (on the sides of my torso), the Minnie and Marcie push them into my frame. It took me some time to get used to that look, but now I actually love it!

    So I would suggest you try some brands that offer more projection, and see if that solves your issue. Cleo and Ewa Michalak are often mentioned to be good for this, and from personal experience, I agree. I don't know whether you are FoB or FoT, but if you go through some of the reviews you should be able to land on a style that may work for you.
