Very much too wide and shallow for you. It looks like you have almost 3 inches of empty space at the sides! That is a LOT of wasted cup space that you could have used if it had been up front.
Have you tried Anita Maternity? I'd try one of their unlined styles, their biggest cup in a 34 band. The cups are sort of minimizer fabric-esque molded unlined, so it often doesn't QUITE tack, but they are deep enough for me (I'm unusually projected and narrow). Plus there's an internal support sling so you still get full support, and the clips are so easy to deal with.

I've got an Anita mat bra in a 32h listed for sale. Make an offer?

Try Amazon! Free returns, no ignorant advice from sales staff.

Correction, 34h.

Extrapolating from the few measured Anita bras I'd probably need a 32J, and no free returns on that size.

In that case just be extra firm with the boutique staff. You can even bypass the arguing by calling ahead and saying "Hi, I am looking for a store that carries Anita nursing bras style 5035 in 32J and 34I, do you have any in stock right now?" If they say yes tell them you'll be in that afternoon to try them on. Later just march in wearing a loose top, grab the bras and try on. If someone tries to stop you or argue with you, just look 'em in the eye and say "I want to try these on. If they don't work I will certainly try something else."
I usually just contradict the sales staff and say "I know what I'm doing, do you have these sizes in stock? If yes, please bring them to me." It's never failed but then I'm told I am scary ;-)
I tried some on at my local boutique, but they do +4 sizing and insisted that at a 34 or 36 band the cups would never be big enough.
