Didn't fit

This bra both looks nice on my anatomy, & in the way it's designed. A rather modern yet playfully retro daily piece.
From looks alone, one would think it better than others I've altered from very different sizes than my bra size, yet feels absolutely horrible in pretty much every way. Everything I'd seen from this style on others prior to purchase, made it seem that my wide short roots would have been a match in heaven here-yet starting to think this style is not for anyone's shape at all?

Oversized, yet stingy and cramped. Top Spot does not lift, it flattens everything in it's path.

While the band and straps are loosened, it still digs, cuts, binds and slices it's miserable way though my underbust. It stabs my sternum, pinches upper bust as it's too narrow diagonally, then cup crinkles down from being too tall which itches around areola, and even binds in around armpits.
Tightening the straps altered the appearance, mainly by increasing vertical indentation from stress lines on the sides, instead of the usual wrinkles & complete flattening of the lower cup horizontally (not sure why raising the cup half an inch does this).

So far the only thing worse I've ever worn is the Cleo Piper, which probably left me with bone bruises. The pain lasted over a month from only trying it on a moment. Still Top Spot is very cute, and I can't help but try it from time to time hoping I've lost some weight and maybe this time it will work.

Nope!

Fit information

On Mar 2022

Upper cup both digs in and gaps, pulls downward toward nipple. Gore is very painful even after swapping underwire for a style that fits perfectly- the lower cup is very tight & crumples with wear while the gore turns backwards into sternum and stabs.

Center gore placement:
Doesn't lie flat against sternum
Underwire length:
Runs too high under the arm, it pokes
Top of the cup:
Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
Cups separation:
Too separate for my boobs
Band fit:
I can fasten it, but it feels too tight
Cup's width:
Outer cup cuts into breast tissue in the sides
Center gore comfort:
Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too high
