Didn't fit

THIS IS SO PRETTY. WHY DON'T YOU FIT?!?!
The Beautiful by Boux is a line made specifically for DD+ cup sizes. Oddly enough, it is slightly narrow and a lot more projected than their regular line of bras. Being a quarter of an inch narrower in wire than their popular Chloe balconette, and an entire three-quarters of an inch deeper, and an overall more rounded shape (their popular blaconette is flat and shallow overall), it definitely fits 1-2 cup sizes larger than the other 30E bras. Like the others, fits like a 28 or tight 30 (max stretch of 30 is pushing it comfort-wise). It has a gothic arch in the middle, but the wires come up so high and for some reason are even more firm (feels like punched steel wires), so the gore is SUPER painful. I added a picture to show how much they were pressing into my sternum. Straps are too wide, and inner cup fabric is itchy, but exterior fabrics and findings are soooo pretty!!
This is a very center-heavy bra, and more closed-on-top than their other bras (which are strangely TOO open on top while also being flat and shallow), is slightly less shallow at the bottom of the cup, and has a deep and slightly pointed apex (when I filled in the space with push-up pads, it rounded out.) So although the left side of the bra doesn't gap, the cups are still too big and are definitely empty in the apex. (A weird trend that I noticed with all three balconettes I received: the right edge is longer/looser than the left.)
I'd say that this fits closer to a full and round 28FF, or slightly smaller 28G. (In comparison, I consider myself to be a more pointy, less full 28F.)
I could potentially make this fit by moving the straps in, because they are WAY too wide, but I would still need to somehow take a wedge out of the inner top cup edge. Boux Avenue doesn't do international exchanges, so I would have to pay anywhere between $22 and $65 to return this bra within the given time range, and then pay full price and shipping to get the next size down. I would love to try this in a 30DD, but that is WAY too much money. So either I have to adjust it, or sell it, and see the beauty go. :,(
