Bra fitting help » band too small?
Freya » Patsy Padded Half Cup Bra (1223) » 30E 30:6
Issue resolved
Swooped & scooped a bit more than I was used to!
the bra is a little tight in one cup, but not so much that I'm ready to go up a size yet.
Original problem
the smaller breast is a little too small, the bigger breast may be a tiny bit too big ( tho it doesn't look bad in the picture) and after having bands that are WAY too big for so long, I wonder if my armpit is supposed to look like that? The band FEELS good but and doesn't ride up but... :/

I agree with you... the cup does look a little small on your larger breast, but probably not enough to size up unless you really wanted to try and prefer fuller coverage. I can't really see from your pictures how the band is, but from the measurements it looks like it suits you pretty well.

Hard to tell from the photos. As a rule of thumb, Freya runs big in the band, many people size down to compensate this.
The 'armpit fat' will likely disappear if you wear fitting bras regularly and scoop&swoop thoroughly when putting them on. Chances are it's migrated breast tissue that was squished into your armpits.

What is it about your armpit that looks weird to you...? It looks fine from the front here. I can't be sure, but I would say based on these photos it looks like a good band length (especially as Freyas are stretchy--as you can see this stretches almost to 32").
If you want, take a profile photo with your arm out of the way. A frequent telltale sign of a too-tight band is that you will see a sort of dimple or indentation in the fabric at the end of the underwire under the arm.

helpfulThanks everyone! I "swoop & scooped" a bit more than I had previously and most of my armpit issues are gone. Now my bigger breast is on the verge of quadboob, but this is so much better than previous bras, I think I'll live with it till I can research some more and find my perfect bra.
