Bra fitting help » Looking for Recommendations for Styles
Intimo » Unknown Model » 32B 32:2
Issue resolved
On this one, I was able to bend the wires out a bit, so it's much more comfortable. As far as aesthetics, I have found made a lot of progress toward finding the measurements I need for wires and cups. Thanks!
Original problem
I'm fairly new at scrutinizing the fit of my bras. I'd like suggestions for styles that would be best for my measurements and shape.
This is one of the better ones I've found, and the only real issue is the wire digging into my sternum where the gore is.

It looks like you've got the volume right. Do you feel supported in this band size? If so, then that's okay to stick with 32B as your starting size. You defintiely have shallow breasts. I'd look at the B.tempt'd By Wacoal Ciao Bella Balconette (953144), La Senza, Marks and Spencer (it's kind of hit or miss), and most of the stuff listed here: http://www.venusianglow.com/2012/09/small-breasts-with-broad-base.html

You're very lucky to have lots of options! Hopefully you can find a better option with a lower gore. I recommend looking at plunges. The Natori Feathers isn't on that list but it works excellently, as do most Gossard bras.

Have you done this?
http://brasandbodyimage.com/2012/09/05/putting-your-bra-on-properly/I cant be sure, only you can know this - but from the pictures I'm under the impression this bra isn't encasing your whole breast. Wire seems to be poking your boob on the side and there is some underarm spillage that could possibly be migrated breast tissue.
The numbers back me up - I would expect to see a smaller difference between your perimeters and cup depth unless your breast were incredibly droopy - which they are not
Basically what this tells me is that the cup isn't containing your whole breasts.Anyway, here's a list of bras that could work for you.

From the numbers you provided here, this bras band seems to run incredibly tight in the band compared to other 32 bands which stretch 10-15 cm more then this one. So if your numbers are correct, note that in most of these bras you will need a 30, if not a 28 band.

I guess I always thought the "scoop and swoop" was not really applicable for my size, but the differences in the before and after pictures toward the end of the bras and body image post make a very good argument for it.
I appreciate the suggestions, and you're definitely right about the band. I've purchased my first few bras with a lower band size recently and am waiting for them to arrive so I can add them to the site!

This was really helpful, thanks! I do feel like the band is fine, so it's nice to know I at least have a general starting place for a size. Also, having the description of shallow breasts with corresponding styles is really fantastic, I didn't know that was a thing.
