Bras to alter - very wide gores?
So after wearing my Andorra full cup for the 3rd time today I've decided that I need to start altering bras to have overlapping wires in order to get a good fit. Does anyone have suggestions for ~28F even shapes with *really* wide gores? My idea is to just fold them over each other and sew them down. I've seen that in a tutorial and like that idea better than cutting a bra!
I just need reallllly narrow gores if they are tall and I like how secure tall gores feel. Even when the wire channels are narrow and right next to each other the gore still sits on breast tissue if it's more than about 1-2"

No idea about the shape, or if it'll be the same in your size, but the curvy Kate jewel I tried (32h) had a pretty wide gore. It actually had fabric between the wires, which was word because all my other bras have touching (but not overlapping) wires. The panache Olivia had a tiny bit of space between the wires too.
OH! I had that in my amazon cart last week! I don't think I could get my hands on an Olivia though (plus it'd be sister sized). Thanks for the suggestions! I think it might just be more realistic to cut a precious bra that works for me and sew the gore overlapping :/
