Are there any bra gurus about? I need some help.

I posted this on a bra thread in chat but no one answered so I thought I would see if there was anyone else who could help me. Or perhaps my tits are so bizarre they are beyond help!

I am 37 under and 41 around nipple leaning over. This should make me a 36d, which is what I wear. But none actually fit me. They are all baggy in the cup and cut across into the top of my boob. My boobs don't touch the inside of the bra at all and the wire is about an inch below the bottom of my boob.

I am broad shouldered, my boobs have a wide shallow shape from birds eye view and are conical from the sides. I have done a diagram.

Please, if anyone has any suggestions (other than surgery) I would really appreciate it.

Cheers.

I am so pleased for you. Wear the bras!!

RIGHT! Well today i wore the green bra and i now have some issues. The bra seems to be riding up a little and rubbing under the boobs/underarm, i have had to push the centre bit (between the boobs) down with my thumb a few times and the bottom of the middle section between the cups seems to be coming away from my body. Does this mean the back is too big? I have it on the largest setting, should i go smaller. The lady did say i could possibly be a 34 back (which shocked me as i'm very broad chested but maybe i am, i have no bloody idea about my body at all anymore, the whole thing is a mystery to me. Confused ).

It sounds like you might need a back down, but the gore lifting is generally a sign that the cup is either too small or too shallow in the centre. I tend to find when the gore lifts it's often both issues.

The cups definitely fit. Well it fits on the right and is baggy on the left (i need to get some pads to make up the gap)

Better fit today. I wore it on the tightest setting and it hasn't moved once. So i think i may need to try a 34 next time. I can hardly believe it - i used to wear a 40/42 back Shock
