Bra fitting help » Underarm fat?


Charnos » Cherub Padded Balcony Bra (105040) » 34E 34:6

Issue resolved

Accepted that the underarm overhang is just my shape

Original problem

This is currently my best fitting bra. In general, I think it fits pretty well - the band feels secure on the 2nd hook,I fill the bottom of the cups, and although I get a little gaping on the top it's not substantial. It's the overhang by my armpit I'm trying to fix.

Pretty much every bra I have gives me this problem whether the cups are bigger than this or not. I think it's more noticeable when the straps are farther apart, which is one of the reasons this bra fits me than the others (the bras are more towards the center than other bras I've seen). I'll post another fit help for another bra shortly where there's even more overhang - the other one has wider straps. I'm not sure if there's another style that will help - cut higher under the arm? Cut lower under the arms? Wider wires? Or maybe it's just underarm fat and I won't be able to get rid of it.

I'm definitely open to suggestions for other bras as well. I've lost a lot of weight over the last year, and it seems as though my cup size shrunk faster than the rest of me (I went from a 34/36I/J to a 32/34E). From reading descriptions on here I think I would describe myself as widerooted and shallow. Because of the weight loss, my breasts are currently pendulous and I'm definitely no longer FOT.
