Bra fitting help » 34F UK/34G US. Improper fit?
Wacoal » Ultimate Side Smoother Seamless Underwire T-shirt Bra (853281) » 34G 34:7
Issue resolved
User suggested various brands to try/what the issue is
Original problem
Center and top of both cups don't torque properly. Center rides up too high on one side and doesn't lay flat. Gaps on cups near the top strap on both sides. Band digs in and I feel like it may be too low? However, it rides up in the back. Straps are too far apart and too loose. I feel like this bra is wide enough for my roots and that the underwire is long enough and aligns properly with my armpits/doesn't dig in to armpits. This is a minimizer bra and definitely isn't right for my shape nor does it fit. I feel as if the cups are definitely too small. Definitely need fitting help/bra suggestions!

Hmm, I'm a little confused b/c you put "narrow boobs" but then you also put "wide root."
If you were looking for a padded bra, you might have better luck with a bra that is both padded and seamed, like Comexim. https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim They can work as T-shirt bras if they don't have a lot of lace on them.
Or you could try some of the Polish brands that are available on BraStop, like Gorsenia or Nessa.

From the photos, it doesn't really look like you have wide roots, b/c your breasts are so close set.
But, I mean, everyone's shaped differently, so I guess it could be possible.
But it's my understanding: usually when someone has close-set breasts, they have narrow roots also. And wide -set breasts is a wide root, but idk. I think I read it from this blog https://butterflycollectionlingerie.blogspot.com/p/bra-fit-posts.html

addendum: i don't think this bra goes particularly wide, esp looking at this picture you posted, #4.
For a bra that goes wide (with the underwire) look at something like this https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dht5s/ (way different size than you, but just to illustrate my point)

BraOdyssey That makes sense. I took pictures so I could actively compare and I think you're right and I'm actually narrow/close set. I think because they're super dense it's hard for me to tell when they're out of a bra. I am getting 34:13 (34J UK) as my recommended size on Bratabase but when I use the "A bra that fits" calculator it's saying I'm a 34FF/G UK. I'm going to order a bunch using Amazon Prime Wardrobe just to try them on to get more of an idea of what my actual size is. How is the sizing with the Comexin brand and the polish brands?

Hmm, that's a great idea to the do the Amazon Prime Wardrobe thing.
When you find your UK bra size from a brand like Panache (like the Panache Envy, for example), I would use that size to plug it into this Comexim size conversion app https://comeximcalc.herokuapp.com/ which will give you some recommended sizes to try out in Comexim (either their store in Poland, or through Breakout Bras in the US https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim...I mean obviously, it's easier to go through BreakoutBras.com until you know what your size(s) are in Comexim : ) : )

BraOdyssey Perfect, will do. Thanks so much for your help!
Thank you! I'm a little confused as well and it's hard to tell. I had surgery a couple of years ago to remove atopic breast tissue that migrated to my armpits because there wasn't anywhere else to go. I don't know why it's more difficult to tell on yourself vs. someone else. Haha.
Thanks for the suggestions!
