Elomi » Rita Multiway Banded Bra (8011) » 36G 36:9
Why is this my only bra that doesn't wrinkle at the bottom of the cup? I would like to find similar fits that aren't full coverage. Are full coverage bras the only kind that have center pull straps? Because I'm in love with that feature, but I would like a bra that I can wear with lower necklines.

helpfulI think the 'no wrinkling' means it has enough immediate projection for you, its deep, not shallow.
Not sure what 'center pull strap is' unless you mean that the straps are coming up from the middle of the bra instead of the outside edge? Apparently that is pretty hard to find these days. I think esp in deeper cuts.

That usually means that the bra expects your boobs to slope up gradually, like your boob is a bell curve. But if your boob comes out quickly from your body, like straight-out from your body, it cant fill the bottom part of the cup, which is too shallow, and pushes the wire downward so it can get in to the deeper part of the bra.
there are other reasons for wrinkling, but thats the most common one. Well, you do have fairly wide breasts, dont you? Sometimes you can also get wrinkling like that if the bra wires are too narrow for you. I think thats what they call the 'orange in a glass' . . but i hate that term. But if the cup is shaped like a U and your boob is more like a sideways ( then your boob cant get down to the bottom.
No idea about the straps. I dont seem to have that problem, which seems odd to me - i think of my shoulders as very small too!

That makes sense. They do seem to come straight out from my body. I don't think they're that wide, but I don't know. I'm pretty sure I'm omega shaped, so my boobs are wider than the roots, but they don't seem particularly wide to me. It's like I have fit problems that petite women have, but I'm 5'6" and plus size. It's weird.

helpfulYou could try some of the Elomi plunge bras as they are lower cut and don't have the problem of wide set straps.
Elomi Betty is pretty popular and I have found it to be comfortable to wear. I also have a couple of the newer Elomi plunges and they are also very comfortable to wear.Updated on November 4, 2015 Flag this

helpfulI think I've heard of Panache Envy being recommended for omega shaped breasts.

In all of my unpadded bras, I get a little wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, like I can't pull them up high enough.
That's what I mean. I have narrow shoulders, so straps slip off easily. I was thinking the Claudette dessous might be worth a try.
