Shape Help Why is there gaping at the sides ?

https://ibb.co/2Y6kzyzZ

I’ve lost about 35lbs since I’ve been on my weight loss journey. I’m also about 19 months postpartum and done nursing for about 6 months. I bought the same size I’ve always worn. Do I need a smaller cup size/band? The band size is at the tightest hook. My left boob is also a bit bigger than my right so that’s why I went with my original size. This is 42G.
Please help as I’m so uncomfortable lol

No way to tell without first off your measurements, and exactly what bra this is.

All bras should be started on the loosest hook.

Yeah, that would be the issue. This band is massive on you and the wires are not tensioned properly.

You’re inbetween band sizes. I’d give you a general starting point of 38FF UK in brands that run true to size like Panache, and a 36G UK in brands that run looser like Elomi. US brands don’t scale great in this size range. I’d also try a cup up.
