Issue resolved
Fit was fine after all!
Original problem
I want to make sure that this actually is fitting properly. It's checking all the "does it fit" boxes, but it seems too good to be true. A few little things concern me: depending upon my posture, the cups are anywhere from gaping to overfilled. Standing neutrally, the cups are filled just fine, with maybe the slightest of cutting in on my bigger side (left). I don't think anyone would notice it, but I do since I'm looking for such things.
The wires dig in slightly to my sternum, but I think I have a convex sternum anyway and that's likely to happen in any case.
What say you, fabulous bra-folk? Thank you for any feedback!

I could be wrong, but I think this describes how most properly sized bras fit. Slouch in a comfy chair and you get a bit of gaping, stand "proper" with back straight and shoulders back, quadding occurs. If it's comfortable and fits nicely in your normal stance, consider it a fit.
If this effect bothers you, try going with a bra that has stretch lace on the top half of the cup, like Panache Envy, Curvy Kate Ellace (?), Kinga semi soft bras, or my favorites Ewa Michalak's BM or SF styles. These should provide you with the hugging breast comfort without the gape to quad difference between stances. Also, the stretchier the straps, the less this effect. Stiffer straps with little give don't fluctuate with movement as well, which can amplify the issue, and cause discomfort as well.
From the pictures it looks like a good fit to me, but I only have internet on my phone so it's not always easy to see subtle details on a 3" screen haha.
Best wishes on your journey to bra bliss!

MamaPagan Aha! Thank you!! The fluctuation doesn't actually bother me. I was just worried that it was a sign of it not fitting as it ought. I'm a little new to this and in such disbelief that it was actually going well as to be searching for flaws! Thank you for you help!!
