Thoughts on cup shaping for a person with a rounder torso

 Had a thought, wanted to bounce it off you, might be a run away train with no destination yet.


- My torso is basically flat on front, where my breasts start, then slants back. This is made most obvious by the way my breasts point out about 90° to each other when wearing a bra made for “typical” breasts (straight out in front on flatter torso).

- The wire basically is meant to be worn across a flat torso. What size would mine be if set across parallel to the front? (Way smaller!)

- My wire then has to be larger than someone with a flatter torso because it is not just going across, but also back. Think of the cross edge of a right triangle, it has to be longer than the two edges to join both points.


- Therefore my pattern should also have that long flat area in the cup side. If I use a wire to help build the cup pattern itself, perhaps it should be the smaller one and set that smaller portion of my breast balanced, as I was initially instructed (which resulted in nips pointing out, rather than forward).


Then, I can add back in the portion between the two wires to support the side of my breast while already having a shaped public side of the cup.


Thoughts?
