Bra fitting help » Weird underarm gaping/wrinkle
Curvy Kate » Temptress Plunge Bra (SG2811) » 34G 34:9
Issue resolved
Tried it back on with the band on the tightest hook and that has helped the side gape a little. I'll probably re order in a 32GG once my wallet recovers.
Original problem
There's a weird loose wrinkle on the band right behind the wire. It flares out for about an inch, but the rest of the band is nice and snug. Also, the cup is gaping away from my underarm/side between the strap and the underwire. Is the cup just too wide or is the elastic not pulling the cup in to the body like it should? Would a sister size down to 32GG possibly help?

Oh thats cute! Idk, for me those would probably be issues minor enough to just hope a few washes helps. But i dont have as many options. If its comfy and looks fine under a shirt (and is THAT adorable!), I'd probably keep it. And also, I guess i"m not an expert - i have 3 bras I thought fit well enough that I will definitely be getting rid of if I can find a few more that actually fit . .. of course, 1 is too painful to wear, 1 gaps visibly under a thick shirt, and the other I fall out of. So i was just clueless

helpfulits an issue of shape mismatch with ur breasts and possibly the elastic to loose(are ur straps long enough). See how ur falling in towards the middle? only slightly. The gore needs to be slightly higher to push ur girls into that space. Also can u swoop and scoop and still have no quad boob? looks like the wire are sitting a good inch under the root of ur breast where they should only be half and inch or so. try the scoop and swoop and let me know how that adjusts the fit.

The wires are definitely sitting in the right spot. I always make sure to hike them up into the fold when I put on my bras. I have fully swooped and scooped and there's no quad. I'm not really 'falling' toward the center, I just already have a lot of fullness there and a higher gore will sit on tissue since I'm so close set.
I could probably tighten the straps more but don't feel like they need to be. I was always told straps only need to be tight enough to not fall down, lift comes from the band and wires.
I'm mostly concerned with that gape on the side, whether the cup is too wide or just not sewn the best.

I think I'll try it on again after work tomorrow, once the initial 'yay new bras!' excitement has worn off to see how it feels and whether it's bothersome.
