  This type of design is really popular right now (triangular overlay over conventional molded cups) but as you are probably experiencing, it's too tall for some people. You don't appear to have much flesh in the armpit area either so I don't think we can blame that--some people have quite a lot of breast tissue, muscle or fat there but you look fairly "hollow" in that region, unless the photos are misleading.

  There is a small possibility that it's a bona fide sizing issue though. I notice the band stretches to just 31" which for some people with your torso measurements could be too tight. In addition, the wire might be too wide for you (not something we can see from the photos due to the opaque cup, but still possible). If you really like this bra style/model and want to see if you can troubleshoot it through changing sizing, you could try to wear it with an extender to see if that makes a difference; if that fails try on the same bra in a smaller cup size (again with extender).

  If it turns out that the sizing is fine, you will have to look for bras that have lower side wings i.e. are not cut quite so high in the underarm area, and you will probably want to avoid this kind of faux-triangular, overlay design altogether unless you can find a model designed with a lot less height.

    when i tried this on at nordstroms with a fitter, she said they ran really small, so i usually wear 32D in natori and i fit into a 32DD...

  It looks a smidge too large. The wires look a bit wide and tall. The straps being far apart is additional evidence of this. Perhaps try 32DD? If that's too small, it's probably the style.

  • Or maybe you could try a 30DDD. The straps and cups aren't that wide on me. If the band is tight I would wear an extender. It's better than feeling the straps in your armpits.

  because the band on this bra runs small I would try an extender. That might help the straps feel more centered instead of wide.
