Bra fitting help » is the fit right?

Issue resolved
Used extenders, now the gore is in the center and the fit looks better.
Original problem
Is this a right fit? I get a very slight quad boob on my right side. Would going up in the cup be required?

I suspect the fit will be greatly improved with an extender--the overly tight band is responsible for making the cups fit a bit shallow and going east-west. Add 1" band length with an extender and I think it will fit a lot better!

Wonderful! some bras do relax a bit at the cup edge with wear so hopefully this will work. how is the east-west situation?

I have added a comment regd this below to hugsforyourjugs's suggestion. Please take a look at it and let me know what you think. Thanks

I did take a look, honestly I would need photos of how it looks with an extender to see if you are really just lacking room at the center as opposed to overtight band.
Also, does the gore tack or not? I thought it did, but hugs' comment states it doesn't? Tight band won't make the gore fail to tack so if it's just not tacking you def. need more room for your center fullness.

helpfulI was thinking exactly what Wendy said! Try an extender. It looks lovely on you! And slight quadding is a personal thing - if you cant see it through a shirt and it doesnt bother you, its ok. Also sometimes we grow and shrink a little during our cycles so some weeks we want slightly bigger/smaller bras - another reason I sometimes dont worry at slight mis-fitting.

helpfulAn extender may help, but I can't see any warping in the mesh so I don't believe the problem is a too tight band. While the band is looking snug, EM bras are usually sturdy enough to not be warped until there is quite a lot of strain. Even if the wires are a little warped here, the amount they'll move back with an extender won't be enough to eliminate the lack of gore tack and artificial east-west look (apologies if this is how your breasts are shaped naturally - it looks as if the bra is pushing your breasts into this position but they may just like to sit like that!).
I think you need a bra with more depth in the centre and similar overall projection, as well as a bit more volume overall. I think EM's CH cut (avoid CH Cherry, it's very different) and CHP would be a good shape for you. Try a 65H as they come with removable cookies, so if the bra is slightly too big, the cookies can help fill it out.

Thank you for your recommendation hugsforyourjugs . I don't know if my breasts are E-W, they have outer fullness and they look slightly splayed, but when lifted they are touching each other. Here is a picture of my breast shape: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h18hl7u11a6s45i/AAD6pAJ2bZDPo84YNjF_qgvXa?dl=0
I also think i have very narrow roots. I am trying to understand as much as possible about my breast shape to better understand the fitting issues.

Thank you wendybien . I tried it with an extender, it did help a bit. however the slight quadding is still there, but not visible under a shirt. So, it is all good now.
