Is demi bra suitable for ladies with splayed breast?

Yes. Women in this category usually have their breasts going east-west and want to bring them in towards the center. 

If you have splayed breasts, then you should go for T-shirt bras.

Since there is a gap between your breasts, the center core between the wires helps provide side support as well as helps push the breasts to the centre.

It’s beneficial if your bra has a wide-based triangle shape center panel so that your breasts fall comfortably into the cup.
