Shape help and recommendations please

Hi ladies, I'm hoping to get some bra recommendations from you experts. I am looking for bras to give me the "purple" shape http://brasihate.blogspot.in/2012/01/what-exactly-is-good-shape.html
I am a 32H/HH/30J in UK bras. However the bra I love the most to give me this shape is the Fantasie Rebecca. It runs tight in the band and the cups run large and are stretchy so I am able to fit it. I would describe the purple shape as a kind of wide from the front profile with side boob. I have tried a few Cleo's and I feel on me I have gotten more of the "green" shape from them. I have tried the Marcie & the Melissa. I feel like they bring my breasts more up front and projected, almost like a torpedo look. I also need bras with some kind of lining or at least light padding due to my headlight issue. I am sized out of my Freya Deco in a 32GG even though I still wear it at times. I also need some depth in the bottom of the cups as in a few bras I have tried I get the slightest empty space at the bottom. I have several Ewa Michalak bras that I do like but I do not find myself wearing them everyday. Maybe I just need to wait for the Fantasie Rebecca Nouveau to be released in December?? I am also close set and I do not think too narrow or too wide of a root. Also since I am close set, I have a problem with gores being too tall and stabbing me. Thank you!!!!

  • The Masquerade Rhea gives that shape if you're full on top. Vertical seam bras in general tend to give this shape. The Rhea runs big in the cup and small in the band, just so you know, so a 32H might suffice. The Tutti Rouge Liliana and Betty also give a minimized shape and also run small in the band (and are very shallow, so most people need to size up in the cup too). The Cleo Lucy will give a more minimized round shape if you're full on bottom. If you're full on top, taking in the gore could fix the full on bottom issue.

    Cleo is know for a front and center look, just so you know.

  • Jillsas I actually have tried the Rhea in a 32GG & 34GG. The 32GG was way too small and the 34GG is too large in the band and a little too small in cups. I think I need even more depth in the bottom of the cup than the Rhea provides. It would be perfect maybe in a 32HH if they made it. I wonder if any other Fantasie bras would give me the shape I am looking for other than the Rebecca?
