Very short, projected, slightly narrow, even, close set breasts....

The previous SM I tried was a 70F. The band may have been too stretched to offer support, but it felt like I was wearing loosely wrapped paper around my breasts (no support). This 65 cm band is much more supportive. I'm thankful to klilly3 for this experience https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Because I've spent too much time and money tying to find a lightly padded bra that stays in my IMF, I've turned to unlined bras. And, Comexim Eve is my baseline for comfort whereas Curvy Kate is my baseline for fit.

I must have a narrow gore along this entire length of the gore. This is where Ewa Michalak and Curvy Kate vary. At the gore base, Curvy Kate Bardot is .25" narrower than Ewa Michalak Wanilla. Because I alter the gore of every bra I own, this is not a deal breaker. However, it explains why Curvy Kate bras are significantly more comfortable to me: less breast is trapped under the gore wires. If you are not inclined to alter bras and you have close-set breasts near your IMF, Curvy Kate may be a less painful option.

Strap placement is significantly more comfortable in Curvy Kate Bardot and Comexim Eve. Wanilla's straps are set .75" further away from the gore than Bardot. See photos. Strap placement and wing height both effect underarm comfort. Despite Bardot's .5" wider cup, the cup height under the arm is roughly .25"-.5" shorter. This is much more comfortable for me. However, the sensation I feel in Wanilla may be more closely related to the wire width and its position on my breast tissue.

Curvy Kate Bardot uses a finer mesh for their cups than Ewa Michalak Wanilla. Finer in this case correlates strongly with increased comfort. Bardot is softer. However, Wanilla has marginally more plush straps. Wanilla has a supportive and soft two-layer band whereas Bardot is single layer mesh.

Because I have "slightly narrow" breasts, I require more width than Wanilla offers in 65G. This is likely why the fit in Wanilla is remarkably less satisfying: the cup is too narrow to allow all of my breast inside. However, because my roots are so short, I can't see this clearly by looking at photos. But, wow, I can feel it. I'm moving away from Polish brands for this reason: I'm slieghly narrow rather than very narrow. Comexim and Ewa Michalak are excellent selections for more narrow breasts, but I fit better in the wider wires of Curvy Kate.

Wanilla is lovely and her straps and two-layer band admirable. But, I prefer CK Ellace and Florence for fit and Comexim Eve for comfort.

This bra is not owned any more
