This bra seems more like a shape mismatch for you. Too wide for your frame, the cups are east-west when a more front-in-center construction would be more compatible. From the measurements, the band is too short for you and may be contributing to that east-west thing. Just looking, it does seem like the cups are too small as the side tissue does not look well contained. Such a pretty bra, though, maybe it comes in a plunge?
You may want to follow smjwzhan as she has a similar shape of a narrow frame needing larger cups for tall breast tissue. Not the same size but similar issues and started at the same point of learning bra construction and own body shape. And now, looking snazzy in great fitting bras
Good luck with your quest!

thanks girls, is it in the plunge that I should look for a wider cup than in the half cup, or vice versa? I don't know if I understood the translation correctly.

I know that I look better in models that bring the breasts closer to the center, e.g. with a low bridge. In Poland, it's hard to get such a half cup with a small bridge. Only Ewa Michalak makes the ones that would suit me, I was asked to try

Yes. You should look for a bigger cup width in plunge bras, because their cuts are slope. The bigger cup width that I mean is not equal to wide cups, it is just the big value that caused by the wire shape.For example, the wire shape of half cup bras such as this Gorteks bra are like a half circle. But for plunge bras, it's like a diagonally cutted half oval.
Sorry for my poor English. If you still can't understand, you can compare my three currently fitted bras to find the answer.
Actually the polish brands usually make very narrow center gores, and almost in every bra cuts. So you can easily get a cleavage in polish bras if you have close set boobs. If you want some bras with low center gores, maybe you can customize by the polish brand Comexim.

hmm, now I understand everything, you explained it very thoroughly, thanks: D I didn't really have the opportunity to test too many Polish models, previously more from chain stores. So I have everything ahead of me :)

It looks like you're going to have "nip slip" on the left side??
I know, b/c I experienced kind of a similar thing, on my first attempt to find ABTF. (see this review...not that you need to read it, lol https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dn8em/)
what I found was: since it was a brand new bra, after I hand washed it a second time, the materials and fabric seemed to soften up, and my boobs (esp my larger boob, which was in danger of the "nip slip") seem to fit in the cups better.
I consider the bra "wearable" after the second hand wash (when it softened up), however, it's not an ideal style or shape for me....
You don't seem terribly mis-matched in this bra. If it's brand new, it could soften up...however it's also a matter of preference - if you feel comfortable in the bra, or not. (I mean, if you feel like you're going to come out of the top of it..)
This bra doesn't look *horrible* but you also look like you're close to a nip slip. But only you know you're body. Personally, my boobs size fluctuates a bit throughout the month, too. (sometimes, the girls are smaller, sometimes bigger...) so sometimes fit is better or worse.
Hope that helps!! : )

Thank you for the suggestions, I don't think it's a very comfortable fit for me. After a few hours of wearing it, I feel like taking it off. my breasts also change their size during the month. Now they have their smaller size, they will be bigger. it is not new, it has already been washed. :) It's nice that it helped you

This looks like a decent fit, except for the straps being too far apart. I would have an alterations person move them in at the front. You want to keep them as far apart as possible while remaining comfortable and stable. The half-cup shape, which this all-vertical-seam bra is, relies on straps being further apart than they would be on, say, a full-cup. The spectacular beauty of the half-cup shape matters little if the straps keep slipping off your shoulders or hurt.

You're right, it annoys me very much that the shoulder straps on the models with vertical seams are so far apart, too far. But I have pointy breasts and they round off in such models. additionally, I don't like tall cups. can you really remake it so that the straps are closer? won't it lose its shape?

Moving the strap position may alter the fit of the cups a little bit, yes.
Mostly, moving them more towards the center also pulls the cups more to the center, if that makes sense. Looks like that would be good for you (more space for your breasts near the gore).
Edit: What works for me is to try on the bra, with loosest possible strap setting, then 'hold' the straps in place where you would want them, while folding the excess fabric. You can actually see how this creates a change in the cup!
However, moving the straps inward like this can also make the cups effectively smaller, depending on your shape / where your breasts need more space. Because when measured across the center, there's a little less room for the cups (not sure how to explain haha - but if the straps are placed more outward there's also a bigger area of cup space, even if it's a bit more spread out / shallow?)
You can ask a seamstress but you can also do it by hand, with needle and thread: There's tutorials online where you can see how to do this!
For example http://dressingcurves.blogspot.com/2012/03/alterations-moving-strap-position.html -
thanks, useful tutorial. I don't want to do it myself a bit, but if it helps, it's worth a try. Maybe on some worse bra and I'll check how the fit changes: D

Agree, and also with your previous suggestion for me.
My summary: The more slope is the cut, the bigger cup width you should choose (plunge vs half cup for example).
Because the way to measure the cup width is from one end of the wire to another.
