Bra fitting help » Wide root, shallow balconette issues

Issue resolved
Ended up keeping until The Great Tissue Migration. Ended up moving the wires all the way down the channel, then sewing in place and tacked the wire channels together. Made the gore 2" tall.
Original problem
Second wellfitting bra for me. Comfortable to wear all day, wires seem fine, like the side support, and the straps are about right.
My issue is the gore seems too wide. I tried to take it in a smidge, but then the cups do what I pictured.
Should I take it out and leave the wires on my soft tissue and just have the flat V shape, or leave the alteration and take in the top of the cups to avoid gaps?

Have you tried one cup size down? I think that might help.

helpfulMaybe ask wellfitting directly? They can make a bra with the alterations you're looking for so you can be sure what the issue is.

I haven't tried it smaller, that's an option too. Right now I'm removing the stitching, and I'll just wear it like that until I get a replacement.
