Wide set breasts are breasts that have a sizable gap between them. Wide set breasts are also often called side set breasts, butterfly shape, or east-west breasts. If you can fit three fingers between your breasts without touching any breast tissue, then you likely have wide set breasts.
There are several things to consider when shopping for a bra to fit wide set breasts. Generally speaking, front closure bras, push up bras, and underwire bra and plunge bra styles are the best bras for wide set breasts. If your goal is also to create cleavage, a push up bra, demi bra, balconette bra, or bras with side support also suit wide set breasts.
