Advice for soft, close-set boobs?

OK, over the last year I've found some great advice here but I'm losing the bubble now.
Had a great Cleo Lucy bra, with cup separation about as narrow as it gets. But my left boob kept oozing over the edge, trying to meet the right boob for drinks or something. I have very soft, bags-o-water boobs. Forget the octopus--ever tried to hold a raw oyster? Now get one to stay in a bra!

So, I've seen advice to get a plunge, avoid a plunge, all sorts of things. What I am looking for is something with a slightly lower center gore (less than 3 inches since I am compact). I've only tried on lower gores for a few minutes in shops (and likely never in my real size since that was a while ago).

Any advice for a lower gore (so I can wear V necks) good for oyster boobs, size 32G (UK) that project more out than east/west, are close-set and want to be closer?

  • Is there a reason you've been avoiding Panache? They have some pretty classy plunges that could work for you. namely Andorra and Idina plunge bras. I also think tutti rouge could be worth a shot if shallow bottom cups agree with you. I have the sam problem, my boobs will meet above any gore, but this one somehow kepth them apart, + has suppernarrow gore.

  • Shallow on the bottom doesn't work--I get orange in a glass. From the reviews I've read, most Panache wires come up high and high wires poke my in the armpit or even in my arm. Also, Panache give a more rounded profile and round means my arms brush the sides of my boobs which a) is uncomfortable and b) makes my clothes wear out quickly where it rubs. The Lucy was right on the verge of being too rounded.
