Bra advice please

I take a 30gg or h depending on the bra and can only wear a plunge style. I wear a Bravisimo Satine for work as it gives a nice shape but it's not particularly pushy-uppy for when I want major cleavage. Freya Deco gives the look I want but it's far too high under the arms and really chafes. I used to love the Freya Retro Basic but they don't make it anymore.

Can anyone suggest an alternative?

Bumpety bump.

I find that it's the plunge styles like Satine that give the best cleavage. For lift (cakes on a plate look) then a balconette or half cup will be better. Polish brands like Ewa Michalak and Comexim give great cleavage and lift.

I can't have anything with a high central gore as they're too close together. Never found a balconette that worked for me.

StatisticallyChallenged has a similar problem and is a fan of the Ewa Michalak S shape.

Thank you!

Yup, the S shape or the pl are both good, and I also get on well with Comexim plunges. I have also trained myself to be able to wear balconettes - I didn't have much choice as I went up to a GG (years ago, bigger now) when everything GG plus was taller gored. Literally every-fucking-thing!

Only concern with Ewa and Comexim is that they have quite narrow wires - how is your satine at the sides? Does it seems to be the right width and depth for you or is it a bit wide and shallow?

It's perfect, comfiest bra I've ever had. Panache type one give me the orange in a glass thing, if that's what you mean.

Welcome for what, a link to a rubbish website with a size range which is nothing close to what the OP needs, with inaccurate US/UK size conversions (hint, once you go beyond DD they are not the same) and which includes a 32d in a table labeled "plus size"?

Rather than wasting time with piss poor spamming efforts, go develop your products and bra knowledge instead.
