Pulling out some older bras I know dont work for help to see where to go next. Center gore angles outward and sits on breast tissue. Bottom of the cups are a bit empty, and wires are definitely too wide. It gets pushed down out of my IMF as the day goes on. It cuts into my left breast pretty significantly, and even digs on my towards the middle. Hoping this will help nail down my shape so I know where to go next. I'm definitely center full, pretty sure roots are on the narrower side of average. Think my vertical root height may be on the shorter side of average, and I know I'm short waisted. This makes an interesting combo and I'm really having trouble finding bras I like that fit well.

This bra is not owned any more

• Space at the bottom and slipping down say it’s too shallow but cutting in and floating gore say cups too small which might be why it’s too shallow. Have you submitted a fit check for it yet?

• I thought so but I may have checked the wrong boxes. I am projected and have narrower roots than most Cleo bras I've tried. The gore doesnt seem to float if you look at it, its touching my skin, but I can slip a finger beneath the wires with no resistance. I have a 32F Hettie that's a better fit though a bit tight in the band. The last time I put this on it seemed too big, if I remember correctly... but that was over 6 months ago and I've had some weight fluctuations in the meantime. I know people recommend different styles of Cleos sometimes to help diagnose shape. 32FF is the calculator size I'm getting from ABTFs after my latest weight change, fitness 34FF before, so I thought throwing on the 2 cleos I had might help lol

• Maybe soft tack vs floating? Have you tried Cleo Mimi in 32FF? The rose and spots prints are supposed to be deeper and narrower, putting them on par with Polish bras.

• I did try a mimi, but it was back when I thought I was a 34DD, and it didnt fit at all, but I may have been pretty far off size wise at that point! Maybe I should try it again.
