I plan moving the bra higher up on my body, and tightening the straps.

Gore doesn't tack, and bottom of cups wrinkle just a little

helpfulFirst thoughts: the band is too big and you're wearing it too low. Is that a US 32G? The cup depth listed is much, much smaller than your perimeter, so that could be an issue as well--making the gore not tack. Go down a band size and either stay with that cup on the smaller band, or try one size up.

Yup--hike it up and tighten the straps. But...if the wires and shape of the cup are too small/narrow/whatever, the weight of your boobs can push the band down, so beware of that.
Try to fit the wire into the crease, swoop and scoop (but I am not in the do-it-aggressively camp. I'm in the do it gently and settle-in camp). Straps should be tight without being too tight.
a 30G will be a smaller band AND a larger cup (since a "sister size" would be 30F--i.e. the cup size relative to the band would be the same in 30F). So try that, and if it still feels small, try a 30H.

A 30GG would be the same cup volume, and a 30H would be one cup size up - look at this chart - http://i.imgur.com/6KJjw.png

helpfulBring up the bra to the correct spot at the inframammary fold. It will probably give enough volume for the gore to tack. I personally don't think the band looks too loose, does everything feel supported, firm, and snug? I definitely remember Prima Donna's bands being similar to EM bands in that they run small, sit low on the back, and are really stretchy and comfortable.

It is a UK 32 G.
So I should try a 30 G or 30 H?
How do I wear the band higher? Just hike it up and tighten the straps?
