Bra fitting help » Wide straps, wrinkling at cup bottom, wide wires - Need style suggestions!
Parfait By Affinitas » Angelina Contour Bra (2501) » 30G 30:9
Issue resolved
Cleo Lily came in the mail and fits perfectly. I'm going to take a break from looking at other brands/styles for a while. Looks like this bra is going to the Goodwill.
Original problem
This bra just isn't working for me, and I need some advice on what to try next. The straps dig in tightly where my arms meet my chest, and there is wrinkling at the bottom of my right cup. There is also an inch or more of space between my breast tissue and the wires under my arms. I would love some tips on which styles might fit my shape a little better, but I'm not 100% sure what that shape is! I've been looking at bras for weeks on different websites, and I believe I'm narrow rooted, highly projected, and maybe a little full on top if not of equal fullness...? Help, please.

helpfulThe empty fabric at the bottom of the cup indicates that you need a bra that has narrower wires and is more projected. I have had that happen to me with multiple bras in the past. I think that you also might do well with a bra whose straps are closer set together. Unfortunately, there is no definitive rule as to which brands and styles have close set straps. My only suggestion would be to look at Comexim and Avokado bras.

helpfulTry Plunge style. Most of pluge bras are narrower than barconette style. It will help you out of those problems also try other brands too

And wire width doesn't depend on style, Cleo Lily is one of the narrowest wires in UK bras and is a balconette.

helpfulI have the same issues with Parfait bras. The all seem to be shallow and wide wires. The brand just does not work for me. I look very similar in their bras.

This is true but in terms of strap placement, any bra that is designed to allow a low neckline (including plunges) is typically designed with wider-set straps.
