Bra fitting help » band too tight

Issue resolved
Bra extender
Original problem
it fits pretty well but wires go too high in center. also does not line up with my apex and makes me look way lopsided! the lace wrinkles near the nipple. Also the side boning is uncomfortable and digs in, wondering if the band is too small? Also the lace is irritating my skin and I've had some problem with tingling and rashes since switching to a 36 instead of 38 band
Also all my new bras are digging in the back and causing back fat as I can clearly see in all my pictures!!

Tingling is no bueno--it can indicate circulation problems. Why not try an extender? You'll see if it improves comfort. Some of your other fit problems can also be due to band tightness--digging, east/west look etc.

Update: I tried it with the band extender and it feels WAY better on the band! Also it made my girls line up a little better. But also seems a little too big now and less supportive, like the straps are doing more work. I'll probably keep the extender until it stretches out more or try to find a smaller extender with no elastic. Thanks for the suggestion :)

OK glad it feels better. What kind of extender are you using? The most reliable kind look just like a second set of hook and eye tabs, just like what you already have on the bra (if that makes sense). No elastic at all. If you have one of those extenders with elastic in the middle that is probably why it feels weird.

It looks like the straps are to tight,but they appear to be at the longest they will go. Maybe try a different brand. I have had great help at Butterflycolection.com

That is a good idea! It would probably help until they stretch out. ThankS!!
