Not sure where to put this exact due to it happening in every bra I have but...does anyone else experience a gap at the top of their bra right before the strap begins? A saleslady mentioned it to me but noticed that it happens in every bra and am wondering if that's why I'm having fit issues. I fall somewhere between a 32K and well...I don't know...my breast seem to be getting larger and larger with no end in sight. I don't have any well fitting bras currently. My 32K's tend to cut into my skin. I purchased a 34K in a Panache Georgia but that didn't fit either (I'll post pictures soon). Anywho...my main problems are that my bands creep (both up in the back and down in the front). I know I have a higher set than most and fairly narrow roots. I'm full on top. Any idea on how to find a bra that actually fits or is that normal?
Btw: I haven't done measurements in a while but went to my local specialty shop and they seemed to be at a wall and just gave me a 32K in the Georgia and said that it fit enough.

Ah, "strap gap" and I are very well acquainted. I have short roots that are high set and I'm also petite in stature. Almost every bra I own gaps near the strap. But if your band is riding up/down, it's likely that you're in the wrong size and/or that the cups are the wrong shape for you. I'm not an expert in your size range for availability, but even though you're FoT you might need more space near the wire in the cups. That can be contributing to the band not staying put. I hope someone else will chime in who is more familiar with your size range. But you're not alone with strap gap! It's very common and may not have to be a deal breaker for fit if it's not bothersome, but it sounds like your bras don't fit the way you want in other aspects, too.
ewa michalak should have some things that fit. i think there's another UK brand that has really big cups too, but I always forget what they are called - I dont think they sell directly in the US?
