Issue resolved
wrong cut for my shape
Original problem
Band is very small for a 60. Wearing with an extender. I have this bra out for a test run to see if I might need reduced cups or straps moved in and generally try to figure out Comexim sizing. This is one cup up from my UK sizing which is where I was told to start. I think it is too small, However I've never worn half cups. I've been confused about whether to match my laying perimeter measurements to Polish bras. They all seem more shallow compared to the same size in UK.
Why is the gore shifting to one side? Is it because of touching breasts?
For some strange reason, my pictures have all been cut off at the sides, so hope these will work.

It looks too shallow at the center for you. Half cups are shallow overall, so unless you want to size way up in volume (and maybe ask for reduced cup height) I'd try a different Comexim design, one that allows more room for your center fullness.

I am, but most don't make bands under 30. If you ever wear 30s, that will give you more choices but I'm not sure if you would be comfortable? An 11" cup with great center depth is not hard to find in French brands like Chantelle (fairly easily available in the US) or Lejaby (you'd have to try ebay) in 30 bands. Nothing in 28 though unfortunately.

it looks to small, have you really scooped and swooped? because you don't have any quadding but you too have tissue in the arm pit area

I thought I had swooped and scooped, but yes , I can see that especially on #6 , it is there under the arm.
I'd had the bra on for about an hour and perhaps it had worked
it's way out.

I would try one more extender (based on pic #4 this could still give enough support) and loose the strap on your bigger breast quite a bit if possible. That might already be enough to get rid of quadding. In terms of cup coverage is looks to me like it is planned by comexim but if the center gore does not tack and hurts this is definitely not your style.

I think you are on to something with lowering the strap on my larger breast. That may be why I always get the breast going sideways a little. I get that in almost all bras. I never thought about different strap height for each breast.

This is really hard. I seem to have very slight quading in every bra at the center. I bought a Comexim plunge with reduced cups in one size up from this and it was probably too big, but even with reduced cups, it seems too tall. I don't know if sizing down would help in the plunge.
I also have the issue of gores being too tall which is why I tried the plunges. But, In non padded plunges I don't get enough lift. My boobs are very dense.
I've tried Marcie and I couldn't fill the top and the gore collapsed on top of each other.
Kali is the best fit so far, but when I sit the wires don't want to stay in my IMF. And overall it is just not very comfortable.
Also cups are a little wide in it and so is the strap placement.
Are you aware of any bras with more center fullness?
