Comexim's tall cups, or a wrong size?
I'm not able to take pictures at the moment for fitting help, but I'm somewhere around UK size 28FF/G, projected, very narrow roots (also tall-ish), roots are also splayed, slightly pendulous, upper fullness, teardrop shape, and need a lot of depth at the wire. I'm relatively short (5'2", 157cm), and have a short waist/torso, high-set breasts.
I purchased @Comexim 's @Charme plunge in 60J with closer-set straps (straps moved inwards by 2 cm/around 1" each). The band is perfect, the underwires follow my IMF perfectly, and whilst I'm going to order my next Comexim bra with more depth at the wire (hopefully it's possible), I'm unsure if I need to size down or simply order my next 60J plunge with: closer-set straps, reduced cup height by about 0.5-1.5 cm, cookie pockets for assymetry, more depth at the wire.
Description of my problems:
1. As I scoop and swoop, and position the wires under my IMF, I get immediate uplift and the cups are filled out. The scooping and swooping doesn't stay throughout the day, and I have to readjust maybe every 3 hours for it to stay. The wires stay in my IMF though, albeit the underwire is slightly pushed down throughout the day due to shallowness at the bottom of the cup. Will more depth at the wire solve this issue?
2. About 30 min or so after scooping and swooping, I can trace some empty space about 2 cm above the nipple, right where the cup is supposed to sit on the upper half of the breast tissue. The empty space is only apparent if I round my shoulders or put a finger between the bra and my breasts. There is no folding or apparent empty space if I touch the upper half of my breasts in the bra, albeit on the smaller side. One boob is 1-2 cup sizes smaller than the other. If I pad both of the sides with 1 cookie, then then on the larger side, the upper part of the cup will stay completely tight, but there will be still some folding and empty space on the smaller side.
Otherwise, the wires follow my IMF, and for example, 65HH (the band was too loose) in the half-cup style gave me some cleavage and the cups were still a bit tall (just an inch or two below my collarbone - I'm thinking it might be related to my short torso), and there was the same tracable empty space problem when I moved around or crossed my hands or put my finger between the cups. It's not apparent under clothes: the cups don't float away from my body or whatever.
What should I do? Should I ask for slightly reduced cups and cookie pockets for the assymetry, or a smaller size? Thank you very much in advance.

Comexim bras are too tall for me and several other users here, too. Reducing the cup height may be just what you require. Reduced gore height could be helpful, too. It takes some experimentation and time.
Increasing depth at the wire is definitely an alteration Comexim provides. :-) They provide an incredible number of alterations!! Amazing!!
I ordered cookie pockets ("beige cotton") with every order. The beige cotton is SO soft it was the only fabric I wanted next to my skin. :-) The pockets are easy to use and will be sythetic unless you specify cotton. Beige cotton is softer than black cotton, but I'm sensitive to fabric textures.
Best wishes! A fit request may yield more helpful suggestions. :-)
