Bra fitting help » Wrinkles on bottom, gaping at the top????
Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) » 36F 36:7
HELP PLEASE! I measured originally at a 38G. That was too big in the band and felt too large in the cup. I ordered 3 different sizes in the Panache Envy (36F, 36FF, 36G) to establish a starting point. I've attached pictures of the 36F because I feel that fit the best. I am still encountering some issues.
There was still some wrinkling at the bottom of the cup and slight gappage in the stretch lace on top. Please keep in mind that my left breast is a full cup to cup and a half size larger than my right breast, so there is significantly more gaping on the right side.
The 36FF felt comfortable, but the gore came up REALLY high and there was still gaping at the bottom of the cup and more gaping with the stretch lace on top.
Which shape/brand should I try next?
For reference:
-I am a full on bottom.
-I have projected breasts.
-I have close set breasts with HIGH roots.
-I am VERY petite (5 ft nothing).
-I need a bra with a gore that doesn't come up as high (I wear lots of V neck shirts.Any help or advice is appreciated. I would prefer to order off of Amazon or someplace with easy returns while I nail down my correct shape/size.
THANK YOU!!!!!

Panache has bras with a very hard tack (I've learned from another bratabase user, lol), so the Panache Envy doesn't exactly work for me, even though the cups fit me well! The gore is a bit of issue b/c (same as you) I have close-set breasts.
Have you tried/considered Polish bras? Specifically, Ewa Michalak (a bit pricier), or Comexim (lower price point than Ewa Michalak, but they sometimes have inconsistent sizing).Updated on May 17, 2021 Flag this

In particular, Ewa Michalak "BM" works well for me..I too have close-set breasts. So, whatever is your best fitting Panache Envy Bra (36F UK bra size), I would try that same size in Ewa Michalak BM, so something like this in 36G (US size)/80F https://levanabratique.com/antonina-bra/
For Comexim, there is a sizing app to convert your UK bra size to the size you should order from Breakout Bras. http://comeximcalc.herokuapp.com/ edit: b/c you're petite, I have no idea how their padded bras will fit on you - the cups could be too tall.

helpfulYou can try elomi Morgan in 36g or 34gg uk. That’s a petite style. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Two places to buy these - if you're in the US - Breakout Bras https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim They have easy returns. As Happy2BraShop does: best to purchase 2 bras of the same style and return one, Comexim sometimes has inconsistent sizing (although they are still worth the try-ons b/c they are great bras, IMO).
