  If the gore doesn't tack you are likely to lose support throughout the day and may get sore spots or skin irritation from the wires moving around on you (with non-tacking bras, the wires are free to wander). But if it feels comfortable now, you can try and wear it a few hours and see how it goes. Best case scenario, it's not the most uplift you'll ever get but you can wear it all day without discomfort.

  Its hard to see with a molded bra, but it looks slightly wide? the first bra I bought, thinking it was a good fit, was similarly comfortable but not perfect. I was happy with it for a while until I found something better. 34GG - Elomi » Bijou Banded Moulded Bra (8720)

  I wanted to weigh in on the issue of the gore not tacking, after my own experience owning a Smoothie. I can't see from your photos how much the gore doesn't tack, but I know when I owned a Smoothie it had something weird going on at the gore. I think the wires were too short for the channels they were sewn in, so they kept sliding down to just leave empty fabric channels at the gore. I don't know if this is common in Smoothie bras, or if I just got a dodgy one. I wore it before my breasts changed shape from being reasonably shallow to quite projected, and it fit comfortably despite the weird gore issue and didn't move around throughout the day. As wendybien suggests, it's a good idea to try wearing it at home for a day and see how it holds up after extended wear.

  I was told I could try stitching the empty space in the wire channels closed near the sides of the cups, pushing the wires through the channels so that they filled the gore, but I never tried this (the Smoothie ended up being incompatible with a change in my breast shape that meant more projection). If your Smoothie has the weird gore thing going on, you could give this a go. Other than that, I'd second the suggestion to try wearing it for longer and see if the bra starts to hurt you or your boobs try to escape (boobs migrating out of the top of the cups is a possible indicator the cups are too wide and shallow for you).

  A gore not tacking usually means a cup is too small, in this case i think this bra is too shallow for you, which doesn't surprise me because this and almost all molded bras are shallow. I would recommend finding a seamed bra for more projection so the gore will be able to tack, and you'll feel more supported. The first pic almost looks like you might fall out of it?
