Bra shapes advice

Hi all just after some advice on bras - I find it really hard to find bras that give me the shape I like - pulled in at the sides and a small gap between cups. I've ordered and sent back so many bras already - I'm 30F or 30FF

I really like my Freya arabella and another Freya one called monet I think - are there any other similar bras that will give a similar shape?

Do you mean you like your breasts to be quite projected - so that if you look at yourself front on your boobs don't seem significantly wider than your torso?

The best bras for this, IME, are Ewa Michalak (especially their S and PL styles) but they have to be ordered from Poland. In the UK, Cleo Millie/Minnie/Lily/Meg and the Cleo Marcie are fairly projected. There is also a polish brand called Kris Line which is available on Brastop and has quite a projected shape in general (even if they do use some , erm, interesting pictures!)

In general terms, Cleo give a more upfront shape whereas Freya and Fantasie give more of an east-west shape with the breasts pushed further apart rather than inwards.

Thanks sc I'm surprised that Freya gives a wider shape though, on me they really pull in at the sides which most bras i try don't and end up sending them back. I guess I like my boobs to be pushed in and up, kind of like the wonderbra effect without the excess cleavage

Thanks I will have a look for those brands, are they available on eBay?

you probably won't find ewa, but the other brands should be.

I had this same issue (32G) and Fantasie side support bras have been best so far. I got a style called Laura but they do many similar ones.
