Didn't fit

Shape: round, projected, even to FoB, close set, average root width.

I purchased this during my first round of finding a bra that fits, and settled into 32DDs from 36Cs. My true size is much closer to 30E, however, and this doesn't fit particularly well as a result. The band is super stretchy, and I was easily able to fasten on the second or third hook almost immediately. While the wires are too narrow for me in the 32DD and cut into the side of my breast tissue, perpexingly, the straps are set too wide, so there's about a thumbs-width of empty space near my tail o' spence in each cup. I struggle to fill out the top of the cup and get a little gapping at the lace edge after my breasts settle into the cup post scoop-n-swoop. The most interesting fit issue is that because I'm so close set, the gore, while it tacks, sits unevenly on my left breast, kind of like this: \ instead of this _. This is the only bra I own with this problem. I recently picked up a 30E in a different colorway, and it fits much better, but I still get uneven tacking in the gore.

Raspberry colorway
