Bra fitting help » What to do if the cup is too wide??
Bravissimo » Demi Diva Bra (SB04) » 34HH 34:12
Issue resolved
Ewa Michalak sure does have narrow wires! Thanks
(returned this one)
Original problem
This is generally a problem with my bras, but I will return this one, because it is so much: The cups are too wide! And I can't quite figure out why: The cups and band feels like it is the right size, except for the fact that the cups go onto my back almost! You can see on the side pic how much further back it goes, than my other bras (going by the mark from poking wires) (also a pic of where I feel like the wire should be)
It goes back much further on my smaller boob (though it goes plenty far on the bigger one as well), so I would guess that I need a smaller cup? But in the front, the cup is already filled to the brim! So I don't think I would fit a smaller size, unless it only decreases in width

Bras have different portions of depth and width. Some bras are wider compared to the cup depth, some are narrower. It is really nothing you can do as you still need the depth of the cup in this size. Sizing down in cup won't help.
The simple truth is that this isn't a style for you. You need to look at styles that have narrower wires. The non-half cups from Bravissimo does have more narrow wires so you don't have to rule out Bravissimo bras as a whole. However avoid Bravissimo half cups. You probably want to avoid Curvy Kate and Flirtelle too.
Freya and Ewa Michalak might be worth trying. For some people Panache/Cleo/Masquerade also works really well in larger cup sizes, as you in general can wear smaller cup sizes than in the other brands if you go for those that are less tight along the top edge.

helpfulThis is a problem with the Bravissimo half-cups. They all have those super-wide wires, which makes me sad, because I would buy them otherwise. So, it is not a matter of size, it is just a flaw in how these bras are made. Sizing down won't help you.
Good luck!

helpfulI think I may have discovered part of the problem: It seems to be slightly triangular: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fstanikomania.blox.pl%2F2010%2F04%2FTrojkatne-kobiety-czyli-rzecz-o-biustonoszach.html
(Translated version of a polish blog-post on how some bras are too much cup, too little band in their circumsphere)
I am sad that this seems it just won't fit me, especially since I've seen others wear it gorgeously:
