What IS this magic???
So, I get this bra through bratabase, mostly thinking I will try on to gauge the wire and how it fits, realize my boobs are too short for it, and then send it on to another bratabase member.
What is this magic? There is so much extra fabric, I could fly away, but once I put on a shirt over it, I forget about the flappiness. The straps are set so far out, they are tilted sideways and sit on the 'corners' of my shoulders, but I DON'T CARE... this bra is so comfortable in the wire, I'm in heaven.
Is this what Branarchist is talking about????
I am now torn between figuring out how to make the cup alteration for myself and giving up the bra for someone for whom it will fit off the rack.
YAAAARGGHGHHH.
(FYI, it's a 34J Freya Ellie Balcony Gg+ (1132) I just got from uptight)
Okay, so it's not THAT huge on me. Partly because of the strap placement, it gapes because of shoulders. If I hold the cup closer to center-strap position, there is only small amount of wrinkling in top of cup. The bottom of cup shimmies down still because of the apex-too-high problems.

This sounds like my joy the day I first tried CK 32J and was so shocked about support even without the straps up. Bravissimo halfcup trial for you? Freya halfcup trial? :) Or alter this bra?
What I would guess is that you found a bra that reaches around your root? :)
Whee! Cup depth. I've become a total pro at pulling the top and side volume out of cups, though you can't do a lot about the apex unfortunately. Ask me if you want any advice on how to do it.
I'm going to try on some stuff which is more likely to be the 'correct size', but if I'm not getting any solutions, buying 1-2 sizes up and pulling the volume works fine for me.
Right now, I'm feeling like if I'm getting support and comfort with a shape I want, who cares about the size on the tag. Branarchist , I think you may be rubbing off on me.
