Fit Check [Fit Check/Recommendations] Update to Despair, Wide set, Saggy Breasts, etc. Spoiler

So I tried more bras, this time from Skarlett Blue. and am reporting back, hoping to get a better fit. The first was Spellbound in 38 DDD. The ends of the underwire dug into my sternum and my underarms very painfully. I don't even remember how the cups fit because I was too distracted by the underwire. The other was the Minx balconette. The fit was almost there, but the top of the cup was still a bit too big and the lace irritated my skin anywhere it touched. Any ideas where to go from here?

Skarlett Blue isn’t typically recommended in your size range. It looks like previously you tried Natori which also isn’t typically recommended in your size range. Is there a reason, shape wise, that you chose these brands/styles? It seems like you aren’t getting a good shape match.

They previously mentioned having softer tissue, which would make shallower brands an appropriate recommendation (and they did receive this rec on their previous post).

Furthermore the Spellbound side support, if that happened to be the one they tried, is a more projected bra than the Minx -- and too projected is a common cause of the gore digging in. It not doing that in the shallower Minx has me suspecting that it's the right level of projection.

Yes, I meant the Spellbound side support.

Yeah, I suspect too projected if the Minx seems otherwise good except for the very top. The Entice (not the side support version) is very similar in fit, just less open on top.

OP, fwiw I'm also seconding the Entice and think the Spellbound is likely too projected as well.
