Fit issue? Or just not scooping and swooping often enough?
On my 30GG Anna Pardal Nuance Plunge:
At the beginning of the day, my bra fits great! It contains everything (except for a bit of quadboob that I thought might be because my breasts are center-heavy and on the softer side) and I can move all over the place or even lay down and the girls stay put.
But at the end of the day, my gore is soft tacking and my underwires are floating away from my ribcage. The band rides up just a tad at the end of the day (which, like my 30Gs, I suspect will get more pronounced as the band breaks in). The wires floating and band riding up are supposed to be signs of a band too big and cups too small. But this 30 band stretches to about 28"; my snug underbust is 27.5". I'm concerned I'll end up with wire distortion if I go down a band size.
Should I just try going up another cup and stick with a 30, maybe look into a Rixie clip/start sewing along my band to reduce stretch? Or try going down a band and up a cup volume? Or just make peace with adjusting a few times a day? The fit, comfort, and support I'm getting now is so much better than what I'm used to. It just drives me a little crazy to find my underwires floating away at the end of the day.

Do you have soft tissue? A wise woman told me soft tissue often will love a bra initially and settle into a misfit throughout the day. She recommended a slightly larger cup to help with "settling."
FoodForest I'm not really sure, but I think my breast tissue may be on the softer side. Right now my boobs are fuller and firmer due to PMS, but right now they feel more like stress balls in terms of firmness, usually they feel more like the firmness of water balloons, sorta. If said water balloons were slightly underfilled.
