Is the band ok or does it feel a bit tight? From the measurements I see that the stretched band is the same lenght as your comfortable ribcage, so maybe it's a little tight and the wires dig because of that. If that's the case you could try it with an extender and see if it gets better.
Other than that, I think this shape is not very flattering on you. The cups look a bit weird especially on the sides. It looks like there's space towards the armpits, especially the left one, and your breast tissue can't quite fill it.
The gore has the same height as the one of the Freya Boho Balcony Bra (1921) but looking at your fit request for that one I think it looks much better on you than this one, so the Envy is probably a shape mismatch.
Maybe you could try something that has narrower cup on top but still with a stretchy fabric/cup open on top since you are FOT, otherwise a tight fabric/cup might cut and give you a quad-boob.
If the gore is painful you could look for bras with a lower gore (search by measurements on Bratabase) or go for plunges.Updated on July 4, 2016 Flag this

You're very welcome! Good luck in your search! :)

When the band is tight it can make the cups a shape miss match, and more pointed and splayed then it should be. Also it can cause the wires to kinda warp inwards twords your breast bone.
-
Exactly, it makes the cups more shallow because the underwire "stretches" too wide! It happened to me with one of my bras, the cups cut my breast tissue (especially in the centre) and I thought they were too small, but then I tried it with an extender and I actually have a bit of gaping XD

Panache gores tend to run high. I agree, if high gores bother you, you should try plunges. and half-cups - i think you already tried one half cup, right?

yes i tried on one half cup and i have to try on more plunges any plunges or half cups you recommend??
-
No, sorry, I cant wear plunges or low cups, I fall out of them. I'm super soft and center-heavy. I like high gores!

i believe it was a bit too tight i didnt like the shape either it did give me a more rounded lifted fit but i wasn't a fan of it much and yes i found a few of them by doing a search with lower gores that looked nice thank you
