Frustrated with wires

I don't get it. I thought I needed narrow wires, but it seems like I might need regular or wide ones. I just don't get the measurements. If you have a half cup, you're measuring horizontally. If you have a plunge, you're measuring diagonally. So how can you go by measurements?

Just when I think I understand bras I realize I don't and end up starting all over again! I have four bras and two don't fit. I have two more coming, but I'm afraid the wires are going to be too narrow :(

In addition to this, I need a narrow gore. Low gores don't work so well because I have soft tissue, but regular gores sit on top. This sucks.

  • I'm sorry :-( Have you changed sizes lately? What one would consider narrow wires at one size, would actually be wider or average in another size, so the same person can require super narrow when they're at one bra size and then suddenly find they are average width after they have changed.

  • I totally understand. I thought I was shallow and now I'm thinking I'm more projected now then when I started which totally changes what I look for in bras. I've also grown so I need to size up but am scared to because I don't want to be disappointed with the new bras being "to big". But I'm starting to quadboob and to feel squished by my current bras.
