Bra fitting help » I haven't ever gotten center gore to tack , am I missing something here?
Cleo » Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) » 34H 34:11
Well the most annoying is the straps each folding in on itself through the day but it is the same with other Cleo of mine. Although other Cleo doesn't have a weird boob side bulge so I haven't seen this as an issue before but I'm not a fan .both my Cleo's don't tack in fact..... ......yup that's what I'm looking for a bra that actually tacks .....wait maybe not since looking down all I can imagine is my grandmothers bullet bras that I feel gross in but probably fit my shape.( Sorry I ranted on such a tangent) anyway my larger boob pushes the center gore into my smaller and I'm not a fan of no padding Minneapolis is too damn cold allways for being ok with nipping out plus the fact that if I do scoop and swoop as expected I get major quading but if I do it backwards its wearable except now my frozen nipples(in hindsight this should have been my username) are now in the completely different direction than the intended or natural. Plus minor creasing to the Northwest side of my right nipple.

This looks too small in the cup to me too but I feel you on the jabbing armpits! Panache bras in general use really firm vertical wires that are taller than usual. One thing you can do is try wires that are more behind your armpit fluff- Elomi is great for that. Another option is to get bras with lower wires and lots of forward projection so your gore tacks and your boob isn't pushed back into your armpit. Curvy Kate bras are great for this. Currently you can get the best projection and shorter wires in Curvy Kate Ellace Balcony Bra (CK4401) but it's not the most supportive. Curvy Kate Daydreamer Balcony Bra (CK5401), Curvy Kate Vegas Balcony Bra (CK5601) and Curvy Kate Tropics (CK5901) are all very projected and supportive but might me a bit taller. In Elomi bras try a 34J or JJ. In Curvy Kate Ellace try 34J, JJ or K. In Daydreamer try 32JJ or K as it runs a full band stretchy.

So, my first thought is, "This looks too small." When I looked at your breast perimeter measurements , it may be two sizes small. This is where things will become a bit complicated. If the 34H pokes under your arms, I can almost guarantee one or two sizes up will poke even more. Your measurements indicate you are even higher set than myself and I can't begin to explain the exasperation I've experienced trying to find a bra for my very short-waisted physique and center-full breasts. !!
Curvy Kate Vegas, Daydreamer, and maybe Ellace may feel more comfortable. All three have a slightly narrower gore (.1" narrower) and should have shorter wings than most Cleo/Panache bras. And, the Curvy Kate wire is less vertical which provides some relief for me. cupandahalf What would you recommend?
If you are looking for a supportive, wireless bra, I know how to help. But, a wired bras will require an expertise my 360+ bra purchases have not yet provided.

That certainly is uncomfortable. Perhaps a wider, taller wire will be tolerable. I hope :-)

I actually think I like my wires to be more vertical, it is confusing though since my left side is bigger and that is picture 3 but I don't feel uncomfortable with the wire there .....it's like its just pliable tissues there hey maybe I can find a bra with side support for my lefty but none on my right haha

I agree with Love4, the cups are too small. Look for cups that have a depth of at least 15" which equals your laying measurement.
You can buy non-adhesive nipple covers to wear under your bra. Gives you more options for a good fit.

Good ideas thanks and whoops this is a bra that doesn't poke me in the armpit I actually went for a smaller size to see if it would be better for my armpit and it was just only my right side looks ok but my left side looks too small
-
Echoplexic it's a size small for righty and at least 2 sizes too small for lefty. You want to fit your larger breast always and pad the smaller side if necessary.

helpfulBesides all the other fit problems this bra has for you that everyone else has outlined beautifully, I really don't think you have a good chance of getting a gore to tack unless it is extremely low, or comes up very high and forces your very close sitting/touching breasts to separate. Good luck in your search!

From the picture #3 it looks like the underwire is poking into breast tissue that doesn't fit into the cup.
