  Is the bra pulled up right tight under your breasts (into you "IMF" - inframmamary fold)? If you can't pull it up anymore it could mean that it's alredy as high as it needs to go or the band is too tight at the moment.

  How does the band feel? Can you take a deep breath comfortably with it on? Since your comfortable ribcage measurement is over 40", I suggest trying it on with a band extender to see how it feels/fits or trying a band size up and cup size down (or two).When you first try on bras, try a couple different sizes from places you can return, that way you start to figure out your new size and what works/doesn't work. If you want to try this bra again, I'd suggest a 42G, 42GG, and 40GG to try. The cups may be a shape mismatch for you, or you can always try a size down to see if that solves the gaping issue. The cups come up quite high, so I think it's still going to gap with a cup size down (shape mismatch).

  Is this bra hurting your "tail of spence" (armpits?). Again, because it comes up a bit high on the sides under your armpits, you may just need a different bra.

    Hi there!

    You are the BEST for giving me such thorough advice.
    Strangely enough, the band is super comfy (I can even comfortably put it on the tightest hook). But I'm very squishy in my midsection, that might make the difference?

    Doesn't hurt my armpits either! I think the cups might actually really be too high (is that what they call high apex?) as you sais. Maybe a plunge or half-cup might be better.

    I'll keep you posted on my progress :)

    I'm glad the band is comfortable! So it's probably a shape mismatch. Yes, I'd say try a different style and then you can repost fit advice. Good luck

  From what I know this bra's supposed to have really short cups, maybe try going down a cup size? Straps also look overtightened which might hide a too big cup problem.

    Thanks for the tips! The next ones I'm trying are in 40GG and 40G. I do have a feeling those will be better fitting :)
