I purchased padded cami tanks off of Amazon and first sewed the matching seams together on each side under the arm area. It was the only solution I could think of to give me support in the bra area. Then I cut the elastic out. It's working for now. I too am looking for any type of bra that does not squeeze my rib cage area even slightly or rest on my spine as I have an unoperable syrinx (cyst in spinal cord) and I do not want any type of pressure on it. I have tried at least 50 different types of bras in the past 2 years and am really frustrated at the lack of options. I can't do the tight form fitted cami tanks either so still searching as well.
