  I've bought this brand before (Pour Moi) and they have cute designs but their half-cup bras (like this one) try to create upper cleavage by using a very flat portion on the inner half of the cup. So, not great for a generally round boob shape! Try Cleo by Panache (they have tight bands so I think a 32/70 would be ok for you if it is difficult to find 30/65 bands). If you have a bigger budget, the French brands Simone Perele and Chantelle make lots and lots of half cup/demi cup bras and molded cup bras which create quite a rounded shape, they allow the breasts to project forward in front of the body and are very pretty. If you can tell us the other brands that you are able to find in shops (or online if you are OK with shopping online) we can suggest more options, I am just thinking of the choices that I know about in your region.

  The Lace.de online retailer also sells many many Polish bra brands which have very good choices for a rounded and projected shape.

  • Thank U for the answer. I have searched at Amazon.de for the brand Cleo. I have seen the band size of 70/32 but I don't know which cup size should I pick. What about 32F?

    By the way, are classic bras looking good on the boobs just like mine?

    Cleo makes many different designs with proportions that are not always similar, so you might need different cup sizes in the ones that run large (for example Hettie or Marcie) compared to others that tend to run smaller. Fortunately Bratabase has measurements for most Cleo bras because they are so popular. It looks like this Pour Moi bra was pretty good in cup depth, but too wide and also shallow. So look for the Cleo bras you are interested in, and choose the size which according to bratabase has a similar depth. For some it will be 32F, for others maybe even 32E. If you are able to find a 30 and you want a really firm band then 30F/FF, it will depend on which bra you are choosing usually.

    I'm not sure what type of bra you are imagining when you say "classic"? Can you describe it or include some links or pictures and tell me what type of design you are thinking of? From these photos, it doesn't seem to me that your breast shape is unusual or hard to fit--you look like you have a pretty average, full shape with an upper breast that is taller and makes a smooth line upwards instead of being round on top. This means bras which cover almost the whole breast but have a very very rounded upper cup might not work, but most other bras will be fine.

    Finally I don't know if you want to create a rounded shape on the top of the breasts (to wear a shirt or dress with low neckline) or just a generally rounded shape when seen from the side, but there are lots of bras that will fit people with your shape and usually work very well for that purpose--they just have to be well-constructed.

  • Thank U again :)

    I think maybe I have seen too many commercial ads that the people who appears in them have really huge and round boobs. So I am a little bit unconfident about myself.

    This is the weblinks I have seen (for the "classic" bra, maybe you know this mode?) :
    https://www.amazon.de/Cleo-Damen-Klassischer-Gr-Amethyst/dp/B01MUHHZFD/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&qid=1551004022&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=cleo+bh

    Actually I'm a university student, so I'm sorry I don't have such a big budget. I think a bra which under 30 Euro is for me ok.

    Just like you said, I want to create a rounded shape on the top of my breasts. Is that possible for me? Or it can only with beauty operation possible?

    Your Sincerely

    OK I have no idea why the seller for that Cleo bra called it "classic"--that bra is a molded/padded plunge, and it is not more classic (traditional) than any other type of bra. I don't think this adjective "classic" has a precise meaning for bras... except perhaps if it is used in German to say it is not a strapless bra or a longline. If you like this exact type of bra shown in that Amazon sales listing, yes, on some people it can produce a more rounded effect--whereas others will find it easier to get from a half cup bra instead. You just have to try different shapes.

    You definitely have enough breast volume to get a rounded shape with some bras if you want! It will not look the same as some people who have almost no breast tissue extending up towards the collarbone--those people can almost get a crease or fold above the top of the breast in a super-pushup bra, whereas someone like you who has more breast tissue going up to form a taller shape will have a rounded cleavage area and then a gentle slope upwards.

    If you want this look just for special occasions and not everyday, and you like wearing original clothes you might try corsets or corset-style tops (these even sometimes can be worn with no bras) because those will often push the breasts upwards very effectively. Otherwise, as I said above, to get a specific shape it's just a question of trying on different styles of bra. You usually need a cup structure that offers enough support from below and/or from the outer sides, AND that has enough room at the inner half of each cup to allow your breasts to form a rounded shape instead of being pushed to the side like in this Pour Moi bra.

    If you want to have a more rounded shape in high-necked clothes, the easiest way is to look for full-cup/full-coverage bras with molded foam cups, because they have this round shape already. If you want a rounded shape with a low-cut or revealing shirt, I think some of the Cleo or similar bras will work, although the easiest way to get it is probably to look for the "super push up" types of bra made by brands like WonderBra, Gossard, etc. They are very padded, so some people find them a bit uncomfortable/heavy/hot in summer (I personally can't tell the difference unless it is 40C outside but some people are more sensitive). They will create that shape if you are wearing the right size.

    Anyway, that is my Bra Lecture for the day. Now here is the body image lecture lol! REMEMBER that shape and size are not the same, and there is tremendous variation in what different body parts look like, and that all of them are OK and beautiful. I am old enough to be your mom and as a full-busted woman and bra-obsessive I have had discussions with a LOT of men (and women) who are especially attracted to boobs, and I have never heard someone say "oh, that woman is nice, but I don't want to date her because I only like round breasts" :-D Never. Seriously not even once. Even people who naturally have VERY large and full breasts often will only get a round shape with a bra that is padded, because their own natural breast shape makes more of a straight line or a gentle curved line on top. And there is nothing wrong or unattractive about that! If you look at photos of Marilyn Monroe you will see it is very infrequent for her chest to look round in any way--it is somewhat pointed with a straight line from collarbone to breast point. So all these shape variations are normal and there is no "superior" shape. If the people around you are too critical about appearance, assert yourself and tell them to stop, or distance yourself if they continue to be rude and unkind. If the media or advertising images you see make you feel bad about your body, maybe try to read/watch different things, and adopt a more critical view and realize how boring and commodifying it is to see all bodies and all body proportions preselected, then padded/contoured/highlighted and Photoshopped to all look the same--especially since it is often not even the reality of that model's body (for example most Victoria's Secret models have smaller chests than you... AFTER they got implants). We don't all want to wear the same shoes or hairstyle, so there is no reason to think we should all have the same shape or size of breast :-)
