Bra fitting help » chp too wide and tall

Issue resolved
this bra's band is stretchy
Original problem
How is the fit? The underwires are hitting close to my underarms. I don't know if this would cause chaffing eventually when worn for a longer time. This is my first CHP bra that I got based on the recommendation here. It has good depth in the cup for me. Are all CHPs very wide and have tall underwires?

helpfulI find that while the CHPS have the best projection, they do run wider/taller in the gore/wider set in the straps than Ewa's other models. Unfortunately, this bra has a lot of great attributes for you but the tall wires might prove to be a deal breaker (they have for me before).
If you trial this bra for a few hours and find the wires don't bother you either under the arms or on your tissue, I'd say the CHP looks to be compatible for you. It's open so it won't cut in like some SMs will with great immediate projection.

helpfulI suspect your cup issues are due to the band being too big. The wires are wrapping around further under your armpit when they should be a little further forward. I find with bras that have too large bands the wires don't sit forward like they should and also the wires tend to be too wide. I bet you'd get a better fit if the band was the proper size.

helpfulAre you petite, short waisted, or high set? I'm both petite and short-waisted; the CHP wires poke my armpits, too.

helpfulThe wires look a bit distorted. Does the band still keep in place if you use the loosest hook? This might also give you some volume in the cup and if it is possible to go one cup size down maybe the wire issue is solved.

No, the band slides down if I try in the loosest hook. I don't get support from the band unless I put them on in the tightest hook.
