Not wanting to hijack someone else's thread.
The Panache Tango II balconette had been my favourite for a decade. Then I had a baby. And another one (he's 18 months now BTW). I never breast fed, and am now slightly lighter than pre-kids (about half a stone). My boobs are bit bigger. Was a 30DD, now a 30E. All the tissue is below the nipple now (it always was really, but more now). They seem to be "wide" in that there is some tissue under my arm pit, but they are also close together in the middle. The problems are:
- both my beloved tango and also the Fantasie Elodie really dig in between my breasts. It hurts. I tend to put a cotton wool pad folded between the central gore and my chest wall to pad it.
- Because there is so much more tissue below, there is some wrinkling at the top of the cup.
I'm certain the back size is ok. They leave "sock" marks all the way round, not really deep red, just a bit pink, fade fast and is even front back and sides. The band is horizontal, the straps stay put even if quite loose. If I go down a cup size I get the 4-boob effect, and bizarrely still sometimes get wrinkles in the cup at the top.
Funnily enough I have one panache porcelain moulded balconette bra in a 32DD, bought while I was pregnant the first time. It is much more comfortable and I fill the cups nicely, but the straps fall down and the back rides up. When I tried in in the correct size the tops of the cups gaped.
sorrel or statistically can you recommend me a style? I'm happy to spend upto £50, but Ideally closer to £30 (maybe by shopping around on line rather than a cheaper make). I'm not bothered about colour, but prefer plainer styles. Not keen on bullet boobs, prefer a rounder look. I rarely wear anything that shows cleavage, but do wear vest tops in the summer.
