My shape is projected, fuller on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, super close-set (no distance between my boobs), soft and self-supporting. My best fitting bras are Panache Jasmine 28F (overlapped gore) and Comexim Bianca (unlined) 3HC 60HH.

I tried Cleo Marcie 28F a few years ago which fit fine but the tall/wide gore made it too painful for me to keep. I learned how to overlap bra gores now and thought to give it another try.

The band fits tighter than usual, probably because it's black, but since my snug measurement is about 26.75", it's fine. I think it will be a bit looser after washing.

The wires feel almost too narrow but it’s the same width as my Jasmine although it feels shorter. Maybe that’s why I have some armpit spillage? I always have armpit “fold” in all my bras but this seems more prominent in the Marcie. I’m not sure if this is because the wires are shorter on the sides or the cups are a little too small. I plan to overlap the gore of this bra if I keep it, and I’m worried it’ll make the bra too narrow since it’s the right width now.

The bottom of the cups slants up quite quickly and I feel like I have to pull the bra up but I don’t see empty space near the wires so I guess it’s projected enough?

I have a little bit of quad boob at the top which makes me think the cups might be a bit small, but I’m worried a 28FF would be too big. So I don't really know if I should keep this bra.

  Looks good except from the side view I think I see what you mean about the cup being small. It's a half cup too small.

• With my current experience, I think a unpadded bra with 24.5-25 cm cup depth will be optimal for conical boobs with b. perimeter for about 27 cm. You can click the " explore by measurements" button on the public view page to find a bra with larger cups and narrower center gore.

• suburbiadaze Yes the quadding can only be seen from a certain angle. I hope to try this bra in 28FF but am trying to sell this and buy a 28FF which will be quicker than arranging an exchange.

  smjwzhan My breast perimeter is about 9" and I found that bras with 9" depth fit me best. It's strange the Panache Jasmine and this bra has the same depth but I'm quadding out of this one.

  I think maybe it's the center gore problem, it is slightly too tall or wide for you. I have tried some bras with slightly and massively too tall or wide center gores and made a comparison. Bras with slightly gore problems would cut into my center tissue, maybe size up the cups can help, but it can be still uncomfortable. Bras with massively gore problems just floated up and didn't support the boobs properly.

• smjwzhan I have gore problems on all bras except Comexim because I'm too close-set. I usually overlap the wires myself which makes it comfortable enough. But I need to do it on a bra that already fits well in other aspects. Sadly this is not the one.
