Wires being too low? Is this normal or suggestions?

I recently tried on 30FF-G, which at first, seemed to be a suitable fit. However, I notice there are marks that seem lower than where the bottom of my breasts are. I think these are my wire marks. My bra doesn't seem to be staying up sometimes, and I have to adjust the band throughout the day. Any idea why I'm getting low wires if this is the case? Thank you.

  • Hello. In the past when I had the front of a bra sliding down, as well as the back band moving up or sliding down, it was due to wearing the wrong size. Your wire should be sitting in your inframammary fold. Have you checked your measurements recently to ensure you’re wearing the correct size? Have you adjusted your bra straps? You can do a fit check with basic pics to get some really good feedback.

  • Agreed with @Happy2BraShop - good advice to do a fit request with some clear pics!

    Additionally, it can also be a projection issue:

    Some bras/models are made to fit more shallow & wide, as opposed to deep & projected.

    A 'too shallow' style bra can slide down on you because the breast needs more depth, essentially pushing the wires down. In that case, sizing up won't really solve your problem, it's the 3D dimensions that are off.

    Depending on your breast tissue distribution, root width and firmness, you'll have to figure out what specific styles & brands work best for you! A fit request is a great starting place.
