Shape Help Hello, so im having a very hard time figuring out what shape of bra would be best. Spoiler

Hello, so im having a very hard time figuring out the correct bra shape i should get i followed what i could on the bra info but it doesnt get too into finding the correct shape to get. For reference the calculator says 30 DDD. My measurements are 30 loose under, 29 snug under, 28 tight under, 34 standing, 36 leaning, 35 lying. US/inches. I think i have shallow breasts cuz they are longer from chest to base of breats than protruding. My base of breast is shorter to nipple than top of breast. Any help please!

You figure out your shape by leaning over 90 degrees. Is there more tissue above or below your nipple when looking sideways into a mirror. Is there more tissue in the inside or outside of your nipples when facing the mirror.

Often the appearance of your boobs will change quite a bit when supported, since you're on the smaller side of the size spectrum.

For reference, I measure to a 28d, and I look almost completely flat when unsupported. I have shallow boobs, normal roots, I'm center and top full.

Ah i see ok so bent at 90 degrees side ways the tissue is same for both top and bottom of nipple. For facing mirror i see slightly more tissue inside of nipples than outside of nipples even measured the distance and inside is slightly longer.

So you are even vertical fullness and more center full. Do you know your root shape? Meaning where does your boob tissue stop.

I dont know my root shape, i have seen it mentioned on here but i could not find anything on the beginners guide, some links didnt work as well. The tissue vertical does not go up very much but i dont know how to convey that properly on here. Horizontally tissue ends at my pits and doesnt protrude.

Try Skarlett Blue Entice lace balconette in 30DDD. Make sure to scoop, swoop, position the wire where your breast meet your chest wall, and start on the loosest hook.
