Issue resolved
Trying new bras
Original problem
Biggest issue was cutting into my chest. I had a bubble from it cutting into me where the lace starts and again where it stops. I have tall roots, but they're thin. I'm FoB. Band was a little lose. Wouldn't stay in my IMF unless on second or third strap. I also tried the 28G, but I think that one was defective. It cut in a little on the side, but it didn't hurt or bother me. I had minor gaping in the front view, but the depth of my cups in the G measured almost an inch bigger than the ones on here. The band was also a lot smaller than the F...it wouldn't stretch really at all, but it fit fine. My bust standing and laying are 35" at a 90 degree angle 36" my snug UB is 26/27" and my tight is just over 25". I posted on Reddit already, but the more imput the better.

helpfulI think that you will not find a good fit in this particular bra as it is designed for someone that is fuller on the bottom and has shorter roots than you.
Perhaps a Cleo Marcie will be better for you as it is designed for someone who is fuller on the top and as it is more open at the top should not cut in on you like the Lucy does.

helpfulI think its not just tall roots, but large pecs, too. Which kinda can get in the way. I'm thinking you want to try some half-cups? Or else something more full-coverage that wont cut across the top like that . . . i dont know what fits like that toh. And of course its hard to find such small bands. But maybe Ewa Michalak CHP?

I haven't worked out in about 4 months from a collarbone fracture, but I work in a restaurant and am muscular. Would that affect it?
-
i dont think its so much that you are in shape as just that the muscles are positioned in such a way that they sort of protrude. I mean, you couldnt find a muscle on me with an expedition. But a half cup would only cover the bottom half of your breasts, so the shape above them wouldnt matter.
like this? idk, its not quite your shape, but the idea is that the top is more open for you to just be your shape http://www.bratabase.com/browse/ewa-michalak/chp-noir-775/65FF/

I did the body beast program right before, so I didn't know if that affected it! I know that one doesn't look as bad as the b tempted half cup I tried a few years back. It was a 30DDD&way too small(at the time I didn't know), but it looked awful. The band was too big but at the time I thought it was the smallest available& the biggest cup available in my area of the US. So I know I can't do an actual half cup or balconnet half cup, but something like that picture would look better. Also it being polish is probably better since I'm immediately projected. I'm trying comexim Annika next and I'm going to get a deco plunge too. Just need to figure out sizing lol!

I'm thinking that if the Cleo Lucy is not good for your tall rooted and non-FOB shape, and the Cleo Marcie is too projected up top, maybe try the Freya Deco plunge? It's really great for tall rooted types and in my experience can cater to non-projected types too.

I'm immediately projected, so getting anything in my IMF is a pain! I like the style on the Decos a lot. What size should I go with? Or try two again?
-
It is definitely difficult to find a bra that caters to to both tall roots and an FOB shape with immediate projection. In your case, maybe just go straight to Polish brands, especially Comexim since they have so many different customizations.

Yeah I have a 55HH&J that shipped out today from comexim. Hopefully one of those fits! Thanks!

I've already tried the Marcie. It was too roomy up top bc my roots are so thin. Going to try the lily & comexim next. Still confused on sizing!
