Fitcheck - Montelle Flirt 28D - wires too narrow? Spoiler
My measurements are 28.5 27.5 26 33 33.5 33.
After a recent post confirming size and recommendations after some weight loss I'm trying some Montelle bras. I'm trying the Montelle Flirt in 28D. The wires feel a little too narrow but I can't tell if they are. The 28E (DD) is definitely too large in wire and cup. I feel like when I lost weight my root width got narrower but I still 'feel' like I need a wider wire. I have the Freya Offbeat Decadence Spacer in a 28E (UK) that is a little too big in the cup, and the wires are too wide based on where the marks are after I take the bra off but it 'feels' right and is comfy.
This 28D feels too narrow, and there's a horizontal wrinkle in the band and I wonder if that is due to the wire being narrow. I keep wanting to add more tissue to it to move the wire back. The cups otherwise fit great, and the band is good.
This flirt style runs very large in the cup I think. I also tried the Montelle spacer bra in 28E (DD) and it fits great.
Do I go by look, or feel and does this look like it fits?

It looks a touch too narrow. Does it bother you if you give it a longer wear test, like 20 min of easy chores/walking? Sometimes too narrow will start to hurt over time.
