Bra fitting help » Gore digs in, shape mismatch?
Freya » Idol Allure Balcony Bra (1800) » 30D 30:4
Issue resolved
I'm returning it and ordering other styles, preferably ones with lower gores. Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the help so much!
Original problem
I'm not sure this fits well. I fill out the cups okay, but the wires dig in at the sternum and at the armpit. I can't wear it for more than two hours without discomfort. Is this a shape mismatch, or is the bra just not right for me? Thank you for your help!!

The center gore does seem too tall and wide for you. Based on the measurements only, it would suggest the band is too small for you which could be contributing to the wires digging in.

I'm new, but I do see in picture 2 that the wire curves inward too much at the top on the outer sides. Is that normal for this model? Because looking at my bra, the wire doesn't curve in at the sides.
Do you normally wear a band that doesn't stretch enough for your measurements? Although it looks more like the shape of the wear to me, that band is still really tight.
I want to know what others with more knowledge have to say. Following.Updated on June 18, 2020 Flag this

Hello. I'm also quite new to bra fittings for others, but I agree that the center gore is too tall and wide for you. I don't think that the band is too tight, unless the band tightness is causing the cups to be pulled to the sides? Is it on the loosest or tightest hooks? Otherwise the wires look to be the right width for you. I believe this is a shape mismatch...
Look for something with a cup separation of 1 or under. Preferably a lower gore too. I was having similar issues with Freya Decos. You could try a Freya Fancies? Plunge styles from lots of different brands would suit you best
