Bra fitting help » Want to know if this looks like a good fit

Issue resolved

Being nitpicky,worry wart, and too self conscious, I think ;)

Fit is good.

Original problem

I know my title falls under "bad titles", but that's the most accurate thing I could think of :p

I think overall, this fits ok, but I want to make sure.

I found the cups measured about 9.5" upon stretching the fabric all the way, but I don't seem to be having any depth issues, aside from mild side wrinkling and bottom wrinkling, oddly on my more FoB/even boob (right).

The left, slightly more FoT side, has mild quad, but mostly only when my arms are positioned a particular way.

The wires are somewhat bendy and I'm not sure if they're stretching too far beyond my boobs.
Looking at it, it almost reminded me of my Chantelle Chic unlined bra in 65..G I think it was. But those wires were 6.5"(these are 4.9" unstretched, 6" stretched).

I have a weird IMF and really narrow boobs, so I'm pretty doomed to always having wider wires, but I found that these stretched to about 6" with the band stretching.
That's causing the cups to become shallower, which I suspect is why roughly 9.5" depth is working.

Even using an extender to make the band slack makes the wires stretch somehow.

The band is too tight, which I had known upon buying this. I'm fine wearing an extender, I just want to know if this looks like a good fit :)

I'm a little on the fence and I haven't worn unlined bras for a while so I'm not sure.

I'm most self conscious about my prominent roots/pecs/ribs/idk. They slope downwards and then there's just random boob jutting out.
It's kinda visible in photo 10.
If I remember correctly, the last 2 pictures are with the extender.

My only problem is that in order to get the cup width shorter, I had to make the extender pretty slack, which I think caused back pain.
