Issue resolved
I kept this bra. Its not perfect but it fits okay.
Original problem
This one feels great! But not as supportive as the Cleo Mimi. I am still unsure of my breast root width and height. Also the cups are not totally filled at the bottom. Please advise.

How lucky you are to fit into Rosme's size range! I LOVE Rosme, but unfortunately I can not go above a 30 band, so I am sized out of them.
Rosme is great for depth at the wire in comparison to MOST padded half-cup bras.
When bra fitting you always want to fit the larger breast, which kind of sucks when you look at the smaller one and it doesn't look as phenomenal as the large one. But believe me, the only person who will really notice when you have clothes on is you!
It's looks like you're alot like me when it comes to the differences between your breasts. My smaller more projected breast sits higher up on my torso then my larger, less projected breast. Unfortunately you just generally have to deal with this as you can't have a wire sit ontop of your lower breasts so that the higher breast has the wire in it's IMF.
I think if you really love this bra (I know I do lol) you could go up a cup size and put a cookie in the bottom of your higher sitting breast to even them out. Generally speaking you can't do this in non-padded bras (though silicone insets can be used in non-padded bras and potentially look great). Though I do worry that if you go up another cup size the straps would start uncomfortably eating your arm pits.
But I definitely urge you to start purchasing more non-padded bras to help you get to know your breasts better and find what sizes and shapes fit you best. I suggest touching and moving your breasts around alot (doing so in the mirror would be very helpful) for you to start getting used to knowing the difference between your bodies natural fat and your breast tissue. The more you feel and move them, the more you will understand them. You look like you have fairly tall roots (go up near the clavicle), average width and an average combination of shallow and projected. Though this will likely change over the next few months years as you continue to wear better fitting bras. I think this one is passable for daily wear if you do not have others that fit you well.
If you'd like me to help you one on one, you can message me.Updated on November 4, 2018 Flag this

Oh this is such a cute style! I'd say to just size up in the cup, but these straps are already soo far apart... not sure if you want to do that. One of the weird things about having narrow shoulders and being forced to angle the straps inwards a hair to make them stay on, is that it artificially increases how "open" or deep the top of the cup is and messes up the fit where the strap meets the top of the cup. On a full cup, unlined seamed bra it can also make the apex of the breast take a weird nosedive, but fortunately this is a molded half cup so that at least is not happening.
How does the band feel? Per measurements it seems to perhaps stretch too large, but if it does not ride it at the back, it may be fine.Updated on November 4, 2018 Flag this

You could do that--but, truly, in your size range there are already brands that will offer adorable, affordable half cups without the straps being quite so far apart I think. I would definitely at least check out some of the ones more easily available stateside before attempting surgery on this one ;-)

It looks like like your larger side fills out the bottom better than your smaller side. Is the bottom of your smaller breast higher up on your body than the bigger one? It also looks slightly too small, but yes, definitely looks like its doing a better job of supporting you

I think you may be right! I also think my posture needs a jumpstart. Any ideas what would be a good fit?

Again, i'm sorry, but I started my bra journey at a 32J and now I"m more like a 34K so I never wore any bras in your size range. even bras that cover a very wide range, they use a different pattern in the low/middle/large ranges, so a bra that might have good projection in one size might not in another size

helpfulHope no one gets me wrong, I'll try my best wording, no offense intended.
Guess it's time to depart from underwired and consider more classic structured softcups (ELILA 1303, the best one I've tried so far, better ask if they have it lower than 36) which have a major tolerance for assymetry compensation by differential assymetric straps adjustment.
On another hand, Clara in Italy might have what it takes https://www.eshop.clara-intimo.it/en/catalogue-bras
Their site is a trainwreck, better call in as almost all listed sizes go only up to D while in reality they can accomodate way higher. This is a small bra manufacture, they cherish high quality, as all things Italy, better provide exhaustive explanations.
Let me know if you require assistance, I'm on the continent, in the same time-zone as them.

The band feels great, not too snug. It feels it may stretch more than I want it to, in time. But these bras are extrememly affordable too.
I wish all straps were made with the option to cross them in the back. I wonder if this too always changes the fit of the cup?
I could possibly alter the back straps so they cross in the back..or convince my sweet mother who is much handier with a needle and thread to make this change?
