Aubade » Brazil Paradise Half Cup » 85E 32:5
Issue resolved
I sent back the bra
Original problem
I bought this bra 3 days ago and i wanted your opinion.
This bra is a 32E. Do i need to take another size or is it ok ?
I have a doubt about the gore center and the cup width.

It looks too small, but it also looks like its meant to be decorative more than functional. also its hard to see, but it doesnt look like you are filling out the cup near the gore, like the shape is wrong?

You may feel better in a bra that has a more narrow gore (e.g. Ewa Michalak,Comexim, Empreinte, ...). From my perspective your center fullness is pushing the gore away from your sternum. I doubt a larger size will "fix" this. However, you could alter the gore to make it more narrow: that will give you a small amount of additional space. And, the alteration may help the gore lay flat.
What are feeling about the cup width? When you remove the bra after wearing, do the red lines follow your root? This blog may be helpful to you:

I don't think an alteration will help, there's only 2 or 3 milimeters between the two wires... Seems like the shape is not good for me...
I've large root and i've the feeling that the wire are not wide enough,... I'll wait one hour or two before removing my bra and see if the lines follow my roots.
Thanks for the link and for your help ;)

After 1 hour and a half, I removed the bra... And definitely the cups are not wide enough. The wires are leaning on my breast tissues. It's not painful but I think it would be after a whole day wearing this bra...
I think the cup is too small and the shape is not good for me...

So glad it is clear to you now :-) :-) Wires sitting on my breasts are very uncomfortable. Without seeing your breast measurements, it is difficult to know the cup volume you need. When you have time, measure your horizontal, vertical, and laying breast perimeter. These measurements will help you because the bra you choose wil need to have a cup depth equal to or slightly greater than your laying perimeter.

My size has changed recently, that's why i'm a bit lost for the moment... (I used to wear 32D, 6 months ago.)
I took my measurements (in centimeters, i'm French and I don't have any measurement tape in inches). I hope i took them rightly...Horizontal : 23
Vertical : 24
Laying : 25
Bra cup depth : 21,5 ...So, if i didn't made any mistake in the measurement, i clearly need an additional cup !!!

I agree....and a more narrow gore :-)

helpfulAlso this bra seems to run small for a 32E looking at its measurements. It looks more like a 30E in my opinion. I just wanted to add that since you are still trying to narrow down your size

AUbade is ridiculously shallow, but 8.5" deep for a French 85E in a non-full-bust line is within the norm. Remember non-full-bust French cup sizes are not the same because they do not have DD. So in many French lingerie brands 85E is like a 32DD in UK sizes, unless they run large!

helpfulAubade runs shallow in general and especially in half cups. Also as you observed, this is much too small--the wires are going to be super painful, because they are resting on breast tissue at both center and sides.
Am I guessing correctly that you are in France?I recommend 85E (French sizing) in brands that run really big in the cups like Elixir de Lejaby (balconnet, full cup, not the plunges). 80E in Empreinte if you are tempted to try them. Or 85F in most others.

Hi, thanks for your help. I fill the whole cup, even the part near the gore. I feel comfortable in this bra but i fear that it will hurts me if i wear it all day long (as it seems a bit too small...)
I don't know is the 30F or the 32F would fit better...
