Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) » 36GG 36:10
Issue resolved
Will be looking for 36H in Elomi styles first to find wires that are wide enough
Original problem
I just bought this bra and it is extremely comfy at first, but throughout the day I feel myself pulling the back of the bra down because I feel like the back pinches my back fat. I pull the sides down because they irritate my armpits and pinch them, but I feel myself re-swooping and scooping throughout the day because the wire slips down below my breast. This causes more irritation over my ribs. I believe I am projected and with a very wide root and full on top. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for in another bra?

I’m going to disagree with hurrrmione (sorry!) because Cate will be too closed and Etta will be way too narrow. I’m going to recommend starting at size 36H in Elomi and trying Morgan, Amelia, and Kim, Jodi, etc (plunge with lace). I have a feeling that if the wires aren’t too narrow, you’ll be ok with the sides a tiny bit taller, because the wires won’t punch or poke. Bijou might also be an option.
Also check out Fantasie bras! In your size (again try 36H) the wires are wider than Panache and their cuts look like they are shorter on the side than either Elomi or Panache. I can’t wear them so I don’t have any experience with them but stretch lace tops are always good if you are fot.

Lol I’m not worried.

Fantasie Zoe has the stretch lace on top. The one I tried ran a cup small, but it was a wonderful bra otherwise.

No worries! You sound a lot more familiar with Elomi bras than I am

this is so helpful! I will definitely compare and try all of these :) thank you so much!

I think those cups are too small for you, but you cant handle a wire any taller, so this brand might not work - panache is famous for pokey wires.
there are some Elomi, I think, that run shorter in the wires. They also run wide, which will be good for you. but I'm pretty sure you need a cup size larger.
I wish i had a better memory. there's a user who will be helpful and i'm too tired to remember her name and tag her

So this is too narrow for you, not deep enough at the apex and/or the bottom at the cups, and it looks like you're quadding ever so slightly. I definitely think you need a larger cup size, but I agree with dbmamaz that Envy is probably not the right shape for you. Elomi Etta or Cate in 36H might work better. https://www.bratabase.com/compare/dlrt6/
