How can you roughly tell the center gore fitting
Okay, let's do some maths with an erasable pen.
First, stand straight, find your narrowest distance between your boobs and track it with a horizontal straight line A. Then look down to track the visible part of the red mark from the bra center gore bottom with another horizontal straight line B. Connect the endpoints straightly and extend upwards to make a big triangle (that divided by line A into a small triangle and a trapezoid).
Measure the height of the big triangle (H1) and the length of line B and notice them. Then measure the gore height of your bra (H2).
Then the maximum cup seperation that fits you will be: B×(H1-H2)/H1
For example: I personally have H1=10.5 cm and B=6.5 cm. For H2=6.5 cm (like my new Freya half cup), I can tolerate a maximum cup seperation of 6.5×(10.5-6.5)/10.5=2.5 cm. And the Freya half cup itself has a cup seperation of 2.4 cm (smaller than 2.5 cm). So this center gore fits.

I don't quite understand the instructions. What red mark from the bra? Are we measuring the distance and height between our boobs or are we measuring some red mark from our bra?
@LeProfessor
Sorry for the bad expression. Actually I mean the red mark on your ribcage that was left by the gore bottom (from a bra with full band). You just need to look down and track the visible part between the boobs, then measure it for the calculation.
