Things fit yet they don't fit
I really hate this. I always find bras I absolutely love but sizes just don't work. I love the shape and feel of the Victoria's Secret Fabulous Push-Up (I don't know why it's called that as mine has virtually no push up just a little bit of gel lining which makes it comfy). It's my favorite one but I just don't know what to do with it. The 32D I tried horribly squished my boobs and gave me a dreaded quad boob. The 32DD fit much better, but I had to pull the straps all the way just like the 32D and it rides up in the back. Even so when I first put it on my boobs are in the right place. However the gore is not against my skin. It has cleavage under it that peeks out from under it. Also as I wear it it wants to gap when I move and especially when I lay down. I think this is all a problem of a band far to big. However are there any other reasons I'm having these issues?

Why don't you put up a fit request? :)
I'm guessing that cups may be too small or even incompatible with your shape.
You can check if cups are too small - pull the band tighter with your hand and place boobs properly in the cups, If the gore is still floating, push it next to your skin. If you overspill it, it's too small.
But yeh, if boobs are peaking under the band is probably more then 2 sizes too large for you.
So you might want to explore other brands that actually carry your real size.

If you do find out that the shape IS compatible with you, and you really, really like the bra (it has to have the right volume in the cup for you though and no other fit issues except for the band) you can alter the band shorter. Here's a good tutorial:
