helpfulI think there are three things going on here:
1. The band looks pretty tight- I notice that the wires and seam are being pulled back a lot, possibly more than necessary. I believe this may also be pulling the cups too wide and shallow at the base and the straps into your armpits.
2. This is probably disguising the fact that the cups are too big, by pulling them slightly shallow at the base (where you are getting those tension lines coming off the gore), in addition to:
3. The cup shape is too closed for you so you are getting quadding in a bra where the cup is still too big. If you size up in the cup you will have straps starting actually in your armpits.
These are kind of notorious Curvy Kate issues- it’s a brand that does well making tight bands and deep short cups, and it’s balconettes have wide strap attachments. If you go with Ellace as Calluna suggests (not a bad choice) I would choose a 32E or even 34DD as the band runs super tight on that bra and the cups are very deep.

Sounds like you just need taller bras than Curvy Kate then. Except for their Victory bra or their strapless, most of their cups and wires will be fairly short.

helpfulLooks better than the other one but I think it’s too closed off on you. It’s cutting into tissue, I believe, but not in a quadding way, but in a tall roots way. I would say that the wrinkles are minor. I feel like a 30G will be too big in the cups but not cut in as much. It’s a fob style but you say you are fot. Ellace might be a better option because it’s a stretch lace upper.

Where exactly has to end the wire of the cup?
If it has to end before than I wear in the photos, it pokes me
If I have to use a larger band (32ddd/34dd), I have to tighten on the last hook but even like this the cups doesn't stay where I need
