Bra fitting help » First EM. Wondering if a different size would fix things.

Issue resolved
Looks like it's LL for me. Thanks everyone!
Original problem
I ordered this bra before I discovered that I wasn't scooping enough and therefore need much bigger bras than I thought.
Holy boobage! As you can see, this bra isn't covering much and the centre gore isn't even close to lying flat.
It's incredibly comfy, the band fits well and the wires are SO much narrower than my 32K Panache Jasmine, which is awesome.
Are the issues I'm having normal for EM Plunges that are too small? I've never tried a padded or a plunge bra in my life, so I'm completely lost.
If you think EM bras could work for me, what size/models should I try next?
Breast perimeter measurement is for right boob. Measurement for left boob is 18".
Thank you!

helpfulI can totally relate to that lost feeling
Figuring out Your Ewa size seems to be the biggest challenge out there in the bra world From what I see, you shouldn't be considering anything smaller than L cups, and more probably LL. Maybe try convincing raspberryleaf to sell you this one?

helpfulI want to say that a cup size or two or eventhree bigger would solve your problems, but I think your close set breasts will make it difficult for the gore to lie flat in any and most bras. The spillage can be solved by maybe going to a 34KK or 34L. Remember to always fit your larger breast and use padding for the smaller one.

You definitely need to go up two sizes to the LL. Actually, three sizes up might be better, but the 75LL is the biggest size. I have that bra in a 75LL. My measurements are quite close to yours and the gore doesn't lie flat.
-
In bras around this size, the only brand that seems to lie flat on me is Panache, but the wires are much too wide. But yeah, that it's so far away from my sternum in this size makes me think it won't even in the correct size.
With EM bras that don't come with pockets for the pads, do the pads stay in place without moving around too much?
Thanks to both of you :)

I would browse around in those with larger and close set breasts who have tried Ewa to see if they have the same problem.
I have two Ewas and the pads stay perfectly in place. Whether they are tugged properly into the little slots or just placed between the fabric, they stay. If your breasts fit the cup perfectly with the pad in place then the chance of there being any room for the pad to move to is impossible.

The pads? Does the PL Black comes with extra pads in smaller sizes? It certainly didn't in a 75LL. And it doesn't have slots to put pads in either.
-
No, it didn't come with pads. Was just wondering whether I pads would stay in place if I bought them separately (since there are no slots).
Izzylawliet answered that.

It seems like I'm constantly climbing in cup size! I'll see if she is willing to sell it and perhaps start selling some of my old HH/J bras so I can start buying some bras that fit! Thanks :)
