This article is about a breast form that is defined by the distribution of breast tissue. Owners of broad root breasts have breasts whose base is bigger than their depth and their breast tissue has little projection forward and stays close to the chest.

It is especially common in smaller cup sizes, but it can occur at any size.

Broad root breasts need very wide wires and shallow cups, which aren't the normal cut for bras one would wear pre-fittingly.


Also read our article about the orange in a glass, since it's a common fit problem for owners of broad root breasts.
