If the bra fits properly, there should be enough coverage under your arms so that any excess doesn't spill out the side. A bra that fits correctly should encircle and contain your breasts.

Remember, when buying a smaller band size, you probably need to go up one in cup size. It can also be that the band size it too big, which will have your bra wires moving around instead of staying in their place. If the cup size is too small, it’s impossible for the underwire to lie flat against your chest and it will keep riding up on your actual breasts. If the bra wires keep riding up on your breasts, it means your bra might be too small in the cups. The underwire should be right under your breasts and extend to the side of your body. When an underwire bra fits correctly it’s comfortable and supportive, but if your bra wires dig in, poke your skin or rides up on the breasts, it’s an indication that you’re wearing the wrong size bra. If neither of the above did the trick, get re-measured to find a more comfortable size and fit. For example: if you’re a 34D, try a 34E instead.

Gaping cups are a fairly common issue for busts that are fuller at the bottom and have less volume at the top. For example: If you’re normally a 36C, your new size would be 34D.
