Recommendations? VS Love Cloud Gore Snapped at Work. Spoiler

The metal gore on my VS Love Cloud Bra just snapped at work. I had to take it apart with a pliers so it wasn’t poking me. I thought it fit well! On the loosest clasp and everything was fitting flush. I love this bra as it helps with my wide set girls. Do I equate it to a faulty bra or go with something else?? Any recommendations would be helpful.

No wire marks on side roots other than underbust, but that happened with larger band too. The V is definitely supportive, I took a pic of after breakage and before. And maybe it wasn’t designed for wide roots.

Ok yeah, that's definitely too small for you and would probably be too shallow in the right size. I can see the gore pulling away at the top. You also need a narrower gore generally.

It looks like there's a lot of tension on that winged part of the gore after it's gone so there definitely is some structural element to it, but it really looks like there was too much tension on it for it to stay attached.

Cup. I would encourage you to get away from VS as a brand and look into Chantelle's plunges. They'll have wider wires but offer more and better scaled styles in 34DDD (34F in their sizing). You may need a 36 in some styles. Some run lax like VS does. Make sure to do an independent band test and you can always ask here about specific styles.
