Reddit mentions of Cleo Women's Juna Balconnet Bra, Nude, 28E

Hi new friend, I have very similar measurements and I'm also shallow! I'm more full-all-over than FOB though, just FYI.

The Deco is my worst enemy. Worst. I've tried it in 6 different sizes and I'm convinced that it just doesn't work for larger cup shallow breasts. Two of my favorite bras are the Cleo Juna and the padded half-cup version of the Freya Patsy. The other Freya halfcups (the ones with the vertical seams AND the horizontal seam across the top... these can be identified by the contrast fabric, like this) may also work out for you. All of these should be pretty easy to find, too. I'd recommend going for a 28G in the Juna and a 28FF in the Freya halfcups based on what you're wearing now, though my same bust measurements have me in a 28GG with the Juna and a (very loose) 30FF in the halfcups. But that could be a shape thing.

I have the Grace, and I can tell you it's pretty projected and probably a shape mismatch for you - more space at the apex then you need. You should try the Porcelain itself, which has a lower cup and higher gore (which may help with the tissue escape) than the Deco and about the same amount of projection.

The Cleo Jolie is adorable and looks like it fits quite well! You should try the Maddie and the Juna too. And maybe some other half-cups - half cups and tall roots are a great combination - like the Curvy Kate Ritzy, b.tempt'd Ciao Bella, and Pour Moi Amour.

Your fit issues mean that you are likely shallow, so definitely check out the shallow guide we have.

Nordstrom online does do free shipping/returns. Amazon does too, for some (most?) bras. If you're shallow, I suggest you try the Cleo Maddie and Freya Deco Halfcup for a nice rounded molded shape. The Freya Deco has a bit of pushup padding and makes me look fantastic in a tanktop!

I also really like the kensie stella from Nordstrom but never get to recommend it! It's not really an everyday bra but definitely runs shallow and the slight longline is cute. It doesn't give much lift/oomph but has a more natural silhouette. I feel the same way about the Cleo Juna.

The b.tempt'd ciao bella is another great bra for shallow/wide shapes but I find it makes my boobs look pointy.

Aerie also has shallow-friendly bras in the 32C/D range, but I can't remember which style names work best!

People will recommend that you try unlined bras to get a better idea of your shape - it is easier to see fit issues with an unlined bra. I don't have any recommendations, though.

As an anecdote, I'm a 30D and wore 32A/B or 34A before finding my correct size. None of them fit right. My breasts fell out the bottom of 32As when I lifted my arms, 32Bs gapped sometimes but still felt tight, and 34A was the comfiest but there was definite gapping. Straps fell off my shoulders all the time. I don't have any of these problems with bras in a 30D that fit my shallow breast shape.
