Superbly Smooth Underwire Bra

I was disappointed in the support in that it allows my breasts to spread out to the sides instead of having the band along the side of the cup that gives the support that draws the breasts forward. I thought I was ordering one with that supposed feature. But I did not. My go to bra is the 855186 Retro and I expected the same support. I am a 36 DDD so I need that support . I needed a tee shirt bra but should have researched a little more before ordering. The bra is comfortable and well made as all Wacoal that I have.

I was hopeful this bra would work. Not even close. It is huge. I wish I could include images (they're posted on another site) so you can see how the band size of the Superbly Smooth is ridiculously large compared with the the Basic Beauty T-shirt bra, which I also ordered. I mean, large by a couple of inches. Even on the smallest hook setting, it doesn't fit my frame whereas the Basic Beauty fits snugly on the largest hook setting (it is a true 34 band size). How can the band size of 2 bras from the same manufacturer be so different? I've worn Wacoal for decades but think I need to find another brand.
