Issue resolved
Loosened straps! The soft tissue has moved upwards and now fills in the cups better
Original problem
Slight wrinkling at the bottom, not sure if that means anything. Lots of pressure on the sides (outer bit of the wires), not sure if it’s sitting on breast tissue or just ribs, whatever it is is uncomfortable. Mostly issues with filling out the top— on both sides. I’m wondering if I’m actually not FoT, even though by the visual guide I’m 2/4 standing and 3/4 leaning. I figured I was quite FoT. Pretty confused by the situation— will be posting a fit check for Envy 30DD, which I think fits better, for contrast

helpfulIt’s more of a shape mismatch. I think you need a shallower cup, the depth looks good though. I try another bra with this cup depth and a cup size down just in case.

Ya I think it’s a shape mismatch in this case. I think you might need a bit wider wires because there might be a tiny sliver of breast tissue on the sides (under the wire) where it hurts.

Try loosening the straps a bit (play with this amount to see how it affects fit) and doing a good swoop of breast tissue in from the sides and underarm to see where your tissue settles. Try again on the tightest setting for your band. I do think that there are a couple of things going on here. One is that the band is too long meaning that breast tissue does not stay in the cups. I notice a big change in filling up the tops of my bras when I have a band that fits my torso.
Wrinkling at the bottom of the cup means that there is not enough fabric projection right at the wire where your breast tissue wants to be. Doing the two adjustments I outline here might not do much to address the wrinkling at the bottom, but you might get more tissue into the upper portion of the bra.
Let us know what you find out!

Hi Jazzy, thank you so much for the advice! You were right— loosening the straps has really changed the tissue distribution, and my fuller cup fits really well now. Very little wrinkling! I was concerned the band was maybe too tight but I’m happy to find it fits!

Hi, can I ask what you mean by cup size down and shallower cup? Do you mean to sister size down?
I figured if it was a shape mismatch, maybe a different size might not make a difference?
