Bra fitting help » Issue with just size or also with bra shape?
Victoria's Secret » Wear Everywhere Push-up Bra (262-023) » 32D 32:4
Issue resolved
Found out that the size is off and the fit could be better. I'm going to try 30DD and 30E in a bra that has a narrowed center gore and demi/half cup style to see if it would fit better.
I got a lot of very good advice, thank you!
Original problem
This bra is front-closure and hence the band is non-adjustable (and too loose at size 32D). I posted pics with another VS bra (http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dhzo2/) and Emmeth , Myrabella and @Synchrolover85 were already super helpful with pointing me to try 30E for better fit.
I was just wondering if the size is the only issue I'm having with this bra style or if it is also the shape, as it just does not even begin to seem to fit. I know molded cups can be problematic, but I feel like they give me so much nicer shape compared to soft cups as my breasts aren't very rounded but more wide-rooted and coney. Also, as I'm having a lot of migrated breast tissue problems from wearing 34A's and 36A's for years, I was thinking maybe side-supporting bras could help give a better shape and more projection.
Thanks for help!

I think you need a more narrow gore (I also thought this in your other picture with fit issues), as well as a cup size up.

Size. I think you'd best start off in a 30E (UK). It appears that you have shallow breasts, this blog post has a ton of good suggestions for bras that will work in your size range: http://www.venusianglow.com/2012/09/small-breasts-with-broad-base.html

Shape rarely changes. I was shallow when I started wearing the correct size, my measurements changed, still shallow.

I don't think this is an off shape for you.
You have shallow boobs and this is a shallow bra. The wires seem to be in the good spot from the sides, would be even better in a cup up.
But the thing is, If you take 32DD, the band would feel even looser.
And I think you need a cup and a half if not two up in this bra - if you pulled the band tighter the quadboob would get worse.
So yeah, no VS or you
I think you might enjoy cleo juna in the right size, also cleo marcie could work and would amaze you how unpadded bras could look awesome
Any halfcup you can get your hands on would be awesome tooOh and here is a whole list

Definitely start with a UK 30E. A freya deco might be nice but not sure how it goes in terms of depth/your breast shape.

Thanks for your comment Jillsas . I am still trying to figure out my true breast shape, as a lot of the breast tissue seems to be still hiding in the armpits and way high close to my collar bone from wearing super tiny cups. After a few weeks of scoop and swoop and a "somewhat proper" bra, I have noticed that the tissue is finding its place back; I have gone up a cup size or two, my breast are more centered + less pointy and I have little more projection. Out of curiosity I measured the width/height ratio of my breasts, and it seems to be about w 4.5" h 6.5" so vertically there is definitely a lot of shallowness going on. Not sure if this will be the permanent "root shape" as I have not really seen any articles about shallow breasts paired with tissue migration. Or if the tissue between my collar bone down to my armpit will ever migrate its way downwards. But I will be sure to check the list out and see what could work for me. Thanks again!
