bra fit help - comexim

hello everyone.

i ordered a comexim 3 part half cup in 65HH. the pink and gray one. (forgot what it's called)
i have issues with gaping and gore not tacking.
correct me if I'm wrong, but if the gore. doesn't tack, it means it's not deep enough, right? but does gaping at the top mean that the cup is too big? I'm just confused. also the band is too tight i have to wear an extender.
(unfortunately i can't take pictures right now due to issues with my phone)

btw, i ordered the bra with no alterations but I'm surprised that the wires overlap.

hope someone could enlighten me on this. thanks.

to give you an idea of what my boobs look like

(i have gained at least 10 pounds that means band size and cup size is bigger. if i was a 65g before, I'm now a 70g. probably)

  • A non-tacking gore is usually caused by the cup being too small. Your boobs push the cup away causing the gore to bend outwards, which also causes gaping at the top.

  • Typically gore not tacking is due to the cup being too small. If you have gaping as well, that can be due to a number of issues.

    First, where is it gaping? Are you talking about the whole top of the cup? Just by the gore? Just by the armpit? Do you have room at the bottom of the cup (aka orange in a glass) and/or the wires sliding down (due to not enough projection at the wire)?

    If the band is too tight, that could be distorting the wires, pulling the cups too wide and shallow, and that can also cause gaping. It's hard to diagnose this without a fit check tbh.

    Overlapping wires are pretty typical for Comexim. I think for most of their bras it's standard.
