Bra fitting help » Don't fill out bottom of cups
Freya » Idol Allure Balcony Bra (1800) » 36G 36:9
Issue resolved
Bra not the right shape in the cups, starting with unlined and then will work back to padded plunge in a different brand most likely
Original problem
This bra is the comfiest I've worn yet, and I don't really find myself needing to take it off at the end of the day. However, I feel that I do not fill out the bottom of the cups. I tried on a 36GG and they were way too big. I am full on top and in this bra I feel that I fit into the top nicely, but there are creases on the bottom and sides of the cups. Other than that, really the only issue that I have with it is that I feel like it digs into my back a little too much.

I could be mistaken but from what I see in the photos is that the center gore rests completely on your breast tissue and not on the sternum, so based on that and the other photos, I would say this one is too small in the cup, as well as the gore being too wideset for you. Since you tried the next cup up and it was too big, I think this one is just not the right style for you. (I love Freya patterns but just can't wear them.)
From the gore placement and the fit issues you have marked (Cup too wide) I would suggest trying a Polish brand, specifically Ewa Michalak. Their gore wires are always close set, and their wires narrow and cups deep.
Ewa’s PL (Plunge), S (Fuller coverage cup) and CHP (Half Cup) styles are padded and come with removable cookies as well, while her BM, SM, and SF are unpadded with the BM and SF having stretch lace on the top of the cup. The BM gives a more natural shape, and the SF is a bit more supportive with stiffer material on the bottom of the cup.
Here's a link to Ewa bras in your size to give you an idea of their fit and measurements.

You can buy them direct from Ewa, but also from online retailers in the US, Canada, and Australia (& other places too I'm sure.) A lot of us buy Ewa, so it's a brand that we can assist with easily if you have any questions.

helpfulThis bra just looks way too shallow. If you don't want to go to Ewa Michalak yet, I'd try something unlined from Panache and/or Cleo. Like the Jasmine, Envy or Kayla.
Edit: Ah, sorry. I saw that you already tried the Envy in 36GG. It seems like you mostly need a bigger cup.

I believe you are the gal from before who tried the Envy thatvwas too narrow, correct? In that case do not try Ewa- the wires will sit on breast tissue.
As you are full on top and short rooted, I definitely would not recommend this foam dome type molded bra. To get the room you need on the bottom you’ll end up with empty cups every time as you have already experienced. Try some bras with seams next to get more room at the bottom of the cup.
As I think about it, there are a few more bras you can try. Elomi Anushka Padded Half Cup Bra (4060) might be shorterfor you. You can also try Curvy Kate Can Can Plunge Bra (SG4001). Try both in 36H and see if they are wide enough, deep enough, and short enough.
Good luck!
