I think i need 1 cup more size and depper cup than this or narrower underwire

The bra wrinkles underneath despite the overall impression that it fits. I have such an effect in many models. What could be wrong?

The cups are too small, by at least two cup sizes I'd guess. You're not getting enough coverage. In bras with this seam arrangement, typically in the right fit your nipples would be roughly lining up with where the diagonal seam meets the vertical seam.
Wires sitting too low can happen for a number of reasons, but most of them involve the cups being too shallow overall (too small usually also means too shallow) or not having enough room at the bottom of the cups (eg you have more lower fullness than the bra is designed for).

Oh, often, when I wear a larger bra size, the side underwires hurt my armpits and cause discomfort. Maybe it's because of the shape of the bust (pointed)? Maybe I need a bra with a lower cup, but I also want a low brisket and gather my breasts from under the armpits inward. Do you know if there is such a model at all?

If the wires of this bra are a good width, it should be very easy to find wires with that width in UK 32G. This bra has a width of 6.2" and average width for 32G is 6.0".
I'm not sure what a pointed bust shape is, but I don't see how that would cause underwires to hurt your armpits. Underwires hurting along the side could be a wire width issue or a wire length/wing height issue. Some brands also use firmer wires than others.
Have you tried any of Freya's padded halfcups?

I meant bust pointed and that the underwires are too long / too high :) I heard that this is exactly the type of breasts that fit half-cup, because they are built lower and have open cups from the top, they do not bubble through the bust cup through the cone. I'm from Poland and haven't had the opportunity to calculate the halfcup from Freya. do you recommend a specific model? I don't know them very much .. Thank you very much for the suggestions, they gave me a lot to think about :)

If you're in Poland you could also look into Comexim and Ewa Michalak. Usually their cups are quite narrow, and they have halfcups.
Freya's padded halfcups all fit pretty similarly which is why I recommended the cut itself rather than a specific model. The current models are Fearne halfcup, Daisy Lace halfcup, and Fancies halfcup.

First of all have you tried wearing the bra up high? When you go to put on the bra, slip the straps on but the holding the underwires push them under your breast tissue then slide your hands along the band to the back and clasp shut. Stand up straight and tighten straps if needed. There is a chance you are wearing your bras too low on your torso. Also, if you are comfortable in this bra and it is giving you support there is no reason not to wear it until you find something better. I do think half cup and balconette bras would be more comfortable for your frame. I cant really see the side of your torso too well and cant really decide if this bra is too wide for you or not, though from what i can see i would not suggest going any wider. I agree with the other commentor that this bra is too small for you in the cup size, but i agree with you that getting one in a bigger cup size would just give you a wire that is too wide/big for your needs. I do think that you will like Ewa Michalak bras (and she is based in poland) and you should probably try atleast a 32FF. Gossard bras dont really work very well for women who have a narrow frame and close set breasts. I think Freya brand is also a good choice for you. They have a "plunge", half cup, and molded style bra. And all of their different "models" fit into one of these styles. I think they all should fit you fine, though with the molded version you may feel a bit squished in it and the cups might be too tall. I would recommend trying a 30F, 30FF, and 32F in Freya. Their bands run big and cups run big as well; so it is best to try a range of sizes. You will probably also like Mimi Holliday, they have the best padded plunge bras i have ever encountered.

Thanks :) for the advice and recommendation of brands. I will definitely buy one of the recommended ones soon and then I will show you how it lies. I saw many models on bratabase with the same underwire spacing and a deeper cup, mainly Ewa Michalak, I have to try them out. the calculator shows me 75E / 75F there. I try to push this bra higher but it falls down and wrinkles anyway, maybe it is actually caused by the too small depth of the cup at the bottom

Thanks a lot for the suggestion ! :) :) it is certainly right but I am worried that when I use a bra with a larger cup, the width of the underwire will also increase. Currently, at this size 32F, the underwires run under the arch of the breast, and wider underwires would be too far towards the armpit. and it could visually flatten. Is there any advice?
