Bra fitting help » Too wide? Too small? Too thick?
B.tempt'd By Wacoal » B.wow'd Push Up Bra (958187) » 30DD 30:5
I honestly can't say what exactly is the problem with this bra. I love it and I'm keeping it but....there is something off. It feels odd despite fitting comfortably. Are the underwires too wide? Are the cups too small? Too shallow? It is a pushup, so is it just that? It does seem pretty tall on my short chest. Or maybe the gore is too low?? Help!

helpfulUmm is that you wearing the bra on the tightest hook? -.-
Because as the bra stretches, you'll need to take the band in to wear it and that might cause all sort of problems with wire distortion.
I can't really see where the wires sit from the picture, but if they are where I imagine them to be - they are not too wide at all, they either sit perfectly where they should be or are borderline too narrow.
Cups do seem too tall for you on the sides, but if it isn't causing any discomfort, you're good.
Well, except for being on the tightest hook from the start

helpfulThis bra looks great on you. Feel around the wires and see if you feel any breast tissue.
I do, however, agree with Vee about being on the tightest hooks. You might want to consider looking for 28 bands.

helpfulIt looks pretty good. I don't see any issues. Is this your first bra in the right size?

helpfulIs it too loose on the first hooks? If it is try a 28 DD and 28e.

helpfulI've found that the Wacoals and B'temptds feel, for lack of a better word, stiffer than other brands I've tried. There's less give in the cup (and the wires, a little?), so when I switch from my super stretchy in the cups DKNY to a B.tempt'd, I feel more restrained, in general. I haven't tried this particular bra, but it does seem to be a trend- could that be something that's affecting your perception of the fit?
Pushups are always a little weird for me because my breasts aren't where my brain thinks they should be, so it takes me a bit to re-map "this is where the outer curve of my bra is, this over here is where my breasts are" in my brain.
