  Could you provide your measurements? I see that you're asking for fit help for a 34C and this 30H, and those are pretty different sizes. I'm not sure if it's just the picture but it doesn't really look like you're filling out the bottom of the cup, either.

  Is this a 30H in US sizing? I'm a little confused by the bra measurements. The 30G which should be 2 cupsizes smaller is listed as having a depth of 10 inches, but yours is only 9".

  edit: oh okay! 30FF makes much more sense. It's kind of hard for me to tell here but maybe you should drop a cup size to 30F? Because you say the top is wrinkling now and if it's not pulled up high enough at the bottom...

  It looks like the underwires aren't sitting at the root of your breast tissue which is throwing the whole sizing of the cup off. Can you pull them up so they are sitting right at the root and post new pictures?

  As for the straps, there's not much you can do for this bra aside from clipping it in the back like a racerback (if that is comfortable for you). I personally have found in 28FF/28G range that freya has closer together straps and curvy kate/flirtelle have wider straps.

  • I agree with soufi that it doesn't look as if the underwires are sitting at the root of your breast tissue. You need to hoik the bra higher up. Assess the fit from there and post new pictures of you wearing it after that :) I wouldn't recommend clipping it to a racerback when the straps are THAT far apart. I have the issue of too far apart straps all the time and at least for me, it is NOT comfortable. I would suggest moving the straps like this if you decide the overall fit of the bra is perfect otherwise:

  I agree that the bra appears to be sitting too low on your torso. If you are able to hike it up, I bet you'll find the cups are less big simply because there's more boob volume in them. Then you'd be able to better guess if going down one or more cup sizes would work. However, it looks like the strap placement of this style may not be compatible with your shape - that's gotta hurt where the straps are sitting now. It's a beautiful bra, so I understand why you'd want to find a way to make it work. There are a couple of fantastic blog pieces on bra alterations, including moving the straps. I haven't tried them because I tend to damage myself with sharp objects, but if I couldn't exchange this bra, I would try moving the strap.
