Bra fitting help » Do the wires sit on my breast tissue?

Issue resolved
One cup size up worked better
Original problem
This currently my best fitting bra. However, I'm not sure if the wires sit on my breast tissue or not. They leave a mark on the side of my breast, at the place where it's attached to my torso (so not really on top of my breasts). This happens with my Cleo Juna as well (http://bra.pe/XW1h/). Should the wires really leave a mark on my ribcage instead? I've found that bras with wider wires often flatten my breasts.
PS When I scoop and swoop, my breasts touch, and the gore isn't close to flat anymore. But then the tissue slowly moves back. Should I try a larger cup size?

helpfulBetween the fact there is a mark on, or almost on your breast tissue, and that the gore floats when you scoop and swoop, I would try a 30E. It can't hurt and it may be a better fit. Too-narrow wires are not good news. The wire length might also just be too much for your anatomy--10" of wire for an 8" cup is a lot and presents a lot of potential for poking and not tacking...

so I tried the 30E today (http://bra.pe/XWoK/) and it does feel like a better fit. I'm.probably in between sizes. Thanks again for your help wendybien

You're welcome! I'm glad the E works!! Such a pretty bra.
Thanks, I've ordered the E cup! I'll keep the bra that works best. I'm still figuring out my true size but I think I'm getting close :). I should probably avoid bras with such high gores but I'm looking for an unlined bra and they always seem to have a high gore (and they're hard to find in small cup sizes)
