I'm going to try another size in this style to see if that works better.
Original problem
When I bend forward the right cup gapes.

helpfulAlmost any molded bra will gape when you lean forward, because it's molded to its own shape, you know? I wouldn't consider that a problem because it looks fine when you're standing up. Does the gore cause pain at all?

Yes, that's possible, although it's more likely the right one is just smaller. It's also possible the gore is a bit too wide or high and that's why it rubs at the top. You could bend it out a bit at the top to make it so it doesn't rub, if you'd like to. Maybe you could also put an insert in the smaller side to fill it out.

Are your measurements up to date and correct? Because it seems a little hard to fathom that a 7.5" cup could properly fit a 9-10" perimeter breast... Unless your lying down perimeter was not taken as instructed? Do you feel like the wires are sitting on breast tissues at your sides? It's possible that you have some breast tissue under your arm that extends pretty far to your sides and that you are counting this as part of the breast perimeter, whereas in fact it doesn't represent the breast volume so much as the breast "spread" (i.e. you need wider cups or shorter wires, but not necessarily much deeper cups).

I took my measurements again with the help of my boyfriend and I am more realistically 8 3/4 in horizontal, 9 laying and 8 1/2 vertical. That being said I still do feel like the wires are sitting on breast tissue near my underarms I had my boyfriend confirm the faint line left from the bra is actually on my breast! I also realized based on another user post about my other bra that I have wide tall roots with immediate projection needs on the bottom of my breast and shallow but actually full on top. This post perfectly describes what I'm dealing with: https://m.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/2lzkwn/discussion_how_many_of_you_have_projection_but/

helpfulmost of us have 2 different sized boobs, so bras will fit better on one side than the other. I usually try to fit to the bigger side, since quadding bothers me more than loose fabric. I dont wear molded, tho - they dont come in my size

It rubs a bit at the top but mostly it seems like it is not encapsulating the entirety of my right breast underneath and I often feel like I have to adjust the right side. It's hard for me to tell but the gore doesn't seem to be touching anywhere but the top on the right side and the underwire meets the breast almost in line with my nipple vertically. Is it possible my right breast is more shallow than the left ?
