Where does my breast end? o.O » All bra adventures

Where does my breast end? o.O

The "lie down and mark" test suggests that my breasts end slightly before/at my armpit, but it's clear that I have breast tissue father back than that; I have this little "tail" that trails back behind my breast, well under my armpit. I find myself wondering if that is what causes the armpit slab/wire poking in virtually every bra I try (fitting cut or not), even the ones with wideish wires. What I'm basically wondering is if my breasts might not be a lot wider than I think. Would pics help?

  • I have a pronounced tail of spence that extends quite into my armpit, but only at the top. When I wear wide wires, I can see that the marks they leave are easily 1 or even more inches away from my breast root on the sides.

    I alternate between wearing short narrow wires (Dalia Olimpia) and wider tall wires (Panache, Tutti Rouge).

  • They could definitely end under your armpits, especially when you lie down. Have you tried pushing your boob toward the chest to see the crease? That might work. What I find is the easiest way to find the end of them is to gently press my fingertips and try to grab the edge, if that makes sense.
