  It looks like your upper roots are much fuller and taller than this style is capable of matching, creasing from stress lines as the cup is not deep enough & despite strap, upper wants to slide down to apex and crumple at farthest point: 'roots too large, center of cup is held away by orange in glass effect, therefore cannot be filled'. If this was a non-stretch upper band it's duckbill effect would be more pronounced. The pattern must be wider along it's perimeter, to allow for your larger depth there. Before it can be even determined if the zone with creasing is a match for your shape (bra seems good for somewhat evenly projected breasts with minimal roots).
  Upper band may be stretchy enough to allow a 'just so' technical fit, but surely can't be that nice to put up with, the way it's pressing in from being stretched so much. Perhaps instead of looking at whether bras are built for containing projection in a shape 'lacking upper pole/fullness', ask whether the upper part of a cup accommodate for tall rooted breasts that go directly up from their farthest projected point, right up to the collarbone?
  
  Ultimately the bottom of cup is a bit tight, looks at least half a size off, primarily at inner cup and upper outside. If worn at length, does it dig, put pressure on your chest anywhere, shift up or downwards? Does the strap wear into your tail of spence along the armscye?
  I can see settling for shallower cups to get the smaller width you desperately need, at cost of volume being pushed out along the edges instead of supported 'up' in a way that advertisements tend to promise. That would really aggravate the last fit point I brought up re: straps.
  If you feel your breasts are softer & prone to 'sinking' into the cups, side slings and racerback j hooks might be the ticket to applying pressure as needed in a strategic way that works for your needs, without causing hassle for the outer sides.

  While balconettes can feel familiar, be easily accessible and seem like a safe choice, perhaps pursuing hybrid/high apex plunges. or halfcup/demi styles, can help reign in the outer sides while providing both depth where you need toward the inside, without pushing into your upper breast (root). Narrow tall roots are not an easy fit combo to find a match for, but if this bra is relatively tolerable after an hour or 3, it might help get you to the place where another design that's better suited pops up!

  • I'm sorry for the late thank you.
    Your suggestion really helped me a lot.
    You said "If this was a non-stretch upper band it's duckbill effect would be more pronounced.", and I was very sympathetic to that. Panache Thea and Charnos Sienna that I bought before had heavy duckbill effects, and Panache Olivia and Envy had less duckbill effects.
    When other people worn Panache and Cleo, the breasts looked pretty, and I Kept buying them because I wanted to be the shape. But now I'll stop buying them. And I bought high apex plunge for following your suggestion.
    First, I felt more comfortable than when I worn the Olivia. The result that I worn the Olivia for 2 hours was sick in rib, and when I worn High Apex Plunge for 2 hours, it didn't hurt.
    Thank to your suggestion, I can save my time and money.
    Thank you again to tell the information that I've never known
