Well, after even trying soft cup bras this issue plagues me. Whenever I wear a band horizontally on my body, the wires end up not resting in my inframammary fold, they end up being about an inch below and then I get empty space in the bottom of my cups. Only when I angle to bra band up will the wires rest properly underneath my breasts. Why would this happen? It happens regardless of what cup size I wear, and even with bands that are so tight that I can hardly breathe in them. If anyone has any insight or anything I would appreciate it.
I have full on bottom breasts that are narrow but separated. I attached a photo to illustrate what I mean

I have that exact issue in bras where the sides of the wires are too low, so I purposely angle the band upwards so I can get the wires in the right place. It's not riding up because I can't usually pull it away. Riding up band is a fit issue that really depends on the circumstances.
I have this too (and also narrow but separate breasts)! Once I've placed my boobs in the cups and hooked everything (while bent over), I tug up a touch on the outer end of the wires/very inner part of the wing. This doesn't angle the band up the back too much, but does "tilt" the wire to follow the actual curve of my breast.
Also, I MUST have continuous bands. If not, the cups WILL slide down under the fold no matter what. Tight, loose, big cup, small cup - no dice.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just a function of the angle the IM fold is at, kwim?
Edit: and like kmoldofsky , the only ones that don't do this are Ewa Michalak - so now I buy those exclusively. They are already properly angled.
