One thing I like about this bra is that it does not stick out under my arm like most big cup bras do. The band did stretch out quite a bit, and I think I could use a larger cup size and/or a smaller band, but it is was not available in the store. Unfortunately, the straps are too long for me and always get longer as the day goes on. They cannot be adjusted small enough to suit me and slip. So my girls are a bit lower than I would like.

I looked at this review and these pi cs after reading your bra adventure. You are definitely in too large of a band and too small a cup. BUt I think also that these cups are not a good fit for you,r egardless of size.
It is not the straps that should control the amount of lift you get from a bra, it is the band! The straps only help to keep the cups in place, they do not lift the breasts up (though they can and do hold some of the weight of the breasts.) If you are relying on the straps for lift, the band is way too big. I hope this helps!
