Bra fitting help » Wrong shape for breasts.... at a loss here
Panache » Olivia Balconnet Bra (7751) » 32DD 32:5
Issue resolved
Closing this for now.
Original problem
Again, I got an order of 8 bras. Reaching into those higher sizes and they aren't working. All of the Es were comically large again and most of the DDs as well. I am generally finding that with a 32DD the wires are a pretty good fit but nothing actually fits my breasts well. The few things I have kept as a temporary compromise (aside from the natori feathers) have been Cs and Ds.
The cup doesn't seem to be working though everything else seems pretty good. The band is a bit snug but I think it would relax or I can use an extender.
I honestly don't know what I am asking for here other than general help and what to try next. I am at over 30 bras at this point and about ready to give up. I don't know how many hours I've spent over the last three months.
I had been hopeful about the Wacoal's but when I went up a band size the shape seemed to totally change and nothing was even close. I am finding this to be a trend that I find something close but when I go up or down in cup or band size a bunch of other measurements change with it...

helpfulwe r almost the exact same size and i'm sad to say, finding bras that will fit us is hard.
i struggle so much also. i think if i was u, i'd try more shallow friendly bra styles. if u like unlined/unpadded bras, try ones that do not have any seams, like ones that are "molded" into a boob shape. those i think will work great on you. 
like styles such as this: https://www.bratabase.com/browse/gossard/glossies-t-shirt-bra-6271/
this one is my current favorite in size 32DD https://www.bratabase.com/browse/wacoal/back-appeal-underwire-bra-855303/32DD/Updated on March 30, 2021 Flag this

yes, wacoal bra's can me tricky. some fit, some don't. usually the full figure styles work on me, but only if they have partial bands. i also had some luck with this one in 32D https://www.bratabase.com/browse/felina/peridot-unlined-lace-bra-115073/32D/

helpfulI'm a shallow, wide set 32dd (a little snug with covid weight...) You might have some luck with DKNY bras - I have a Natori feather that mostly fits, but I feel kind of squished and pushed down by it, but the DKNYs make me feel a little perkier and more full, although still not my unicorn bra. I found some DKNY model 453200 at Nordstrom Rack (they might be discontinued? I really hope not) and bought 4 colors. For what it's worth, they're quite comfortable.

helpfulShape mismatch. Fit issues. You’re spot on with the band but too small in the cups. You need side support bras. You can try the fantasie smoothing bra in 32ff or 30g. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Thank for the suggestion. I have found a few Wacoal styles that I like but I can never seem to get it just right. I am looking forward to actually being able to go into a store and try something on as things open up (right now I am doing everything through the mail). Most of the "shallow bras that I have tried have been too shallow. I am trying to find the happy medium somewhere....
