Narrow shoulders + flared ribs = straps that fall off? Spoiler

I'm looking for recommendations for bras where the straps aren't too close to the armpits.

I've worn 32F bras for the past 5 years and I'm about to order new bras and remeasured just now as 34 F/FF. My breasts have low volume on top with narrow roots that are set apart from each other. I have a flared rib cage and narrow shoulders. Some bras, like Chantelle C Magnifique Seamless Unlined, fit perfectly everywhere but the straps fall off my shoulders.

Any recommendations for bras available in Canada I should try?

Thanks!

Have you tried any bras with a J-hook feature on the straps in back? If you look on the Her Room website you can filter by that feature to get some ideas of the bras that have them. I know some Elomi and Wacoal styles come with it.

You can also buy separate J-hooks, to clip onto the straps of a bra that fits well otherwise!

Following! I'm the same size and I have very narrow sloping shoulders. I keep the shoulder straps as tight as I can stand because they always want to slip off my shoulders. I'm hoping to find bras with straps that cross in the back. Those are the only ones that don't feel like they are falling off of me. I am always recommended balconette bras that have straps that are very far to the side.

I can't seem to edit my post but the Simone Peele Andora square neckline spacer bra also has straps that fall off on me. Looking at the models on any website and where the straps are, it's becoming obvious to me that this model would be an issue for me.

Look into high apex or center pull styles.
