Bra fitting help » Great width, too small, what next?
Gaia » Sandy Semi Soft (BS0594) » 70G 32:7
Issue resolved
Purchased in a different size and will alter.
Original problem
It's very clear that this bra is too small for me in volume. But it's the FIRST time ever that I'm happy about the width of any cup in any size close to me. I've been looking for abtf by sizing up for volume but I know I can't do that in this or the wires will get wider, like every other time.
As much as I LOVE so much about this bra (and I'll do my review soon) what I really want is input on what I should try next. I have a screenshot of the comparative measurements if I can link in here. https://imgur.com/a/0gfFPOw
Up for consideration:
* Gorsenia Casablanca (K425) / 70H / 32:8
* Empreinte Emily Demi Bra (8102) / 30F / 30:6
* Empreinte Thalia Demi Cup Bra (0856) / 30F / 30:6
* Gaia Sandy Semi Soft (BS0594) / 65I / 30:9
* Kris Line Mirabella Half Cup Soft (L1000) / 70GG / 32:10
* Kris Line Auril Padded Balconette Bra / 75GG / 34:10
* Miss Mandalay Paris Balconette Bra / 32FF / 32:8
* Miss Mandalay Paige Balconette Bra / 32FF / 32:8
* Empreinte Melody Contour Demi Cup (3886) / 32F / 32:6

I haven’t had good luck with Kris Line wires—they’re very long/low and the cups seem very shallow comparatively. I’ve been considering trying a Gorsenia, so let me know if you try it out!

helpfulI would assume that the miss mandalays would work best for you, but I haven't tried any of their bras. All of my Ewa Michalak's and Comexim's have been very narrow and projected, so they may be worth a shot. Especially if you have amazon, you can try unaltered Comexim's with free returns to nail down your size.

Darn it! I'm sorry. It's one thing to be a 26H/HH and need a 5" wire width, but being a 32G/GG with 5" roots is even more difficult. I'm sorry for your bra struggles :(.

helpfulUpdate: I purchased this in a 75H and it fits much better although I plan on some small alterations. http://bra.pe/X4Pm/

Thanks, friend!
I've tried Comexium (https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnfeh/) and Ewa (https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnf99/) but they were not a good fit at all. I think I just didn't realize the size conversion. But they won't work without custom wires because the width was larger than I am but the volume was way too small on those too. (To be fair, those were a 34 but I think that's what I'd want anyway due to my rib flairs).
