Hi all

I measured a while back and ended up in a 38GG - which I have to say has been a huge improvement, and strangely (or maybe not) my ongoing back problems seem better since too
I got 2 bras which feel much more comfortable, except

on the outside of the cups (under the arms) I end up with a mark where the wires digs in slightly, and after a month or two of wearing this size now find I have a discoloured patch of skin there

in between the cups I sometimes find the wires press into my chest too

I 'think' this could be a style issue for me... but not sure - any advice greatly appreciated!

Also - need a new bra - which covers less if that makes sense, scoop neck styled tops suit me well but at the moment can't really wear them as can see the top of my bra!

Thanks in advance all Smile

I am a 36JJ and love the panache tango Smile

Which bras have you already got?

You need to try a balconette for a low/scoop neck style top. Are your boobs heavier on the top or bottom? Are they wide set (start under your arms) or have a narrower root? Are they quite shallow or do they project more?

um the two I have are debenhams full cup styles - can't remember the names one is possibly a 'gorgeous'

Boobs definitely heavier on the bottom (post breastfeeding - empty on top) they start just under my arms, have no idea what the root bit is? the gap at the front is visible all the way up but wider at the bottom than the top, does that help? Sorry! Will have a look for some balconettes too - thanks

Will check out the panache tango thanks badger

It could be the training forward thing I guess, though this started with the new bras and I've just finally got around to posting Smile

could anyone suggest a bra ? Looked in debenhams sale and they don't do balconette, only balcony - which look to me like a full cup easily confused

Thanks in advance!

Balconettes are sometimes a bit lower cut than a balcony but most will be lower than a full cup. It is confusing as different brands use different cuts!

Have a look on-line at the Cleo Lucy, Panache Idina Balconette, Tutti Rouge range.
