Bra fitting help » Asymmetrical boob problems. Where to go from here?

Issue resolved
Will try Ewa Michalak.
Original problem
I'm feeling quite disheartened. My right boob being bigger (something more apparent the closer I get to my true size) combined with the lack of availability of larger cup sizes is making me doubt that I'll ever find something that fits. I recently discovered that I wasn't scooping into the cups properly, so now bras that I thought were a decent fit are much too small.
I need really narrow wires, so Panache, Curvy Kate and the like are usually too wide for me in sizes where the cups have enough depth to be somewhat wearable.
Are other Bravissimo bras likely to be too small on my larger boob too? Are special order EM bras my only option? Any other brands that I don't know about that could work?
The perimeter listed is that of my larger boob. The measurement of the smaller one is 17-18".
I have uploaded photos of most of the other bras I have tried if that helps.
Thank you for your time.

helpfulAs this bra is so too small on you and doubt even a 32L will work for you sadly with Bravissimo. If you manage do find a 32L Alana it might still be worth a try just to rule out that as an option, just as atleast trying a 32KK Harmony just to see how it works, but I do think those will all be too small for you.
So, then it's mainly Ewa Michalak left out there for you.
Currently there is a 80KK PL Onyx that is returnable: http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-pol-196-PL-Onyks.html,
A 80KK PL Lilia: http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-pol-158-PL-Lilia.html and a 80KK PL Cielus: http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-pol-162-PL-Cielus.htmlAll of these are returnable. They might not be your size, you might end up needing a 70M, but, it could be a way of determining your size atleast and see if there is any chance these could work for you? Go for something with pads in anyway, and aim at placing both pads into the cup on your smaller size, and even if that isn't enough you can actually order some extra pads if you find that Ewa Michalak works well for you.

helpfulI've thought about adding another option here but I was hoping for the plus size experts to dig in.
It's just a thought on my side that maybe you could also try the plus size bras and alter them down id necessary? Wearing a 32 band or a more well distributed 34 band is kind of equal in support and since the band would not be that tight the wires might not end as far back either.
Elomi for example does have wider wires but since the cups also allows more volume they probably wouldn't end up as wide as for example Panache.
I think you probably are outsized of a 32 band in general, so trying larger band sizes is at least an idea. I don't think Ewa holds large boobs that well, not for daily use.

I was thinking about this too, seeing as I really seem to be running out of options. I'll see how I get on with Ewa first and try plus size bras if it doesn't work out. Thanks :)

helpfulthink adding breast cookies or pads might be at least of some help.
