Bra fitting help » Floating wires
Curvy Kate » Victory Balcony (9001) » 30JJ 30:14
So at first my issue was a ridiculous amount of fabric in the top half. I fixed this by taking in the upper mesh section. I was still experiencing a floating a gore and I'm able to slip a finger underneath the wire.

Quadboob + floating gore + breast tissue not fitting in the cups all points to needing a larger cup size. (Although the quadboob may be due to the alteration.) Of course the cups would be even taller in 30K (this is almost certainly a scaling issue).
It also looks to me like your nipples might be sitting below the apex of the cups, which would suggest the cups are too big or that you have more upper fullness than the bra is designed for. So this might just not be the best bra for you.

Yeah I'm not really sure because I've noticed my right breast pretty much sits in the lowest part of the cup, meanwhile my left sits where it should, I just ignore it because it seems to happen even if I'm wearing something too large or too small. I experienced similar issues in my CK romance (nip pointing down) but I was also getting quadding + a floating gore. Tried Panache envy and that was a disaster in general, Panache Elsa same thing happens, and CK Ellace left me with a boob fold in my armpits, floating gore, and empty space near the straps.

How's the wire width on this bra? If it's about right, Bravissimo would be another brand you could look into. If it's far too wide, you could look into Ewa Michalak (and possibly other Polish brands? I don't know much about them so I don't know which brands might carry the equivalent of UK 30K)

Yeah I actually just got a fitting at bravissimo earlier and got recommended to try 30K due to fit issues I was also having in Ellace, and 32JJ, which I'll be trying on for convenience. The wire width on victory is okay and thanks to the side support it locks my boobs in where they're supposed to be. I found out apparently I'm really side heavy which would explain why I was constantly having issues with my boobs not staying inside the cups, where they belong lol. I'm tempted to try CK Unwind still though. It looks cute and it's a Bralette. If that doesnt work out I'm planning on returning it and trying Bravissimo Gabby. The cups looks pretty short which is ++++ because I constantly run into issues with cups coming up too high, even in bras that I'm quadding out of. The worst offender being EM CHPs.

helpfulCould you take some photos of you in the be a a bit further away and not so close? It's really hard to see how it fits over all with such up close pictures. It would be helpful to see about an inch or so below your band and your shoulders. One from front, one from back, and 3/4 profile with arm up so we can clearly see the bra under yours arms (both sides).
Although given the info here, I think you may want to stop trying CK bras. I think you may like Fantasie bras and some Bravissimo bras since you don't need very narrow wire widths. Have you ever tried any half cup style bras? I can't find out much info by looking at your profile, but seeing a few of your comments you have tried many more bras than what you have added to the database.Updated on January 25, 2021 Flag this
The photos are are all after alteration, I did curve the wires in slightly + loosened the straps which made the wrinkling on the bottoms and sides go away. I'm still getting a floating gore and can slip my fingers underneath the wires. I'm currently wearing an extender on the last row now - I thought the band was just extremely tight because I had to use the first row of hooks on the extender but it was actually just breast tissue that I hadn't gotten into the cups.
