Narrower Underwires?
So, using the advice from my last post about underwire width I measured my new Jasmine's underwires at 6.7" (32J) They are so wide they sometimes poke at the back of my armpit. (although they can stretch to 8.5" wide) Using the advanced search, absolutely no bras measured exist with any less width and comparable depth. So I don't know... do narrower underwires at a cup depth of 14.5-15 even exist? I looked through EM bras but they seem to have very shallow cup depth. (also I can't wear plunges or bras with too low cups; my boobs are very soft and will spill right out if given a chance.)
Just fyi, my measurements:
Underbust: 35 (33 too tight)
Bust standing/laying no bra: 45 (47 bending over)
Perimeter: 14.5

Someone -- sorry, I don't remember who :( -- once posted about replacing the underwires, which resulted in a completely different fit: a narrow and relatively deep bra can be made to fit wider and shallower; a wide and shallow bra can be made to fit narrower and deeper. Could this be worth a shot for you?
I have thought of that... the task then would be finding the right size underwire for that. Maybe next time I'm at a Nordstom or something I'll go looking closely at wires. I also get armpit poking easily, so really wire replacement with something not so tall would be good too.
