Back chub
I was wondering if anyone else has found this- on my bigger side everything lies flat and I find that I get very little to no back/underarm chub over the top of the wing of my bra, however on my smaller side, even though I'm struggling to fill out the cup (it's not dramatic but there's definitely empty space), I have a roll of chub that pops out over the top of the wing where it meets the strap at the back. It's definitely there and it's definitely bigger on my smaller side. I have a 29" super tight underbust and find the problem is worse when I wear 32 bands, but it's still there when I wear a 30.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Could I eventually coax it into my cup or is it just another of the wonderful quirks my body likes to throw at me?

It sounds like a mild size/shape difference between your two breasts. Like your bigger breast might have more depth and therefore work better in a bra with narrower wires and deeper cups and your other breast might prefer wider wires and shallower cups. One thing that I've found definitely helps with back chub and armpit chug is tall wings and wires (on the side).
It makes sense that it might be worse in a larger band because larger bands mean that the wires aren't pulled as wide as they would be in a tighter band.
Jillsas I do find the situation is improved by taller wings that do genuinely come up as tall on me- I'm 5"8 but I have a crazy long torso (I once worked out that if my legs were in proportion to my torso I'd be about 5"11) so even taller than average sides and wings tend to fit like average wings :(
