Used to fit

November 2015 Update: I don't know why I never posted pictures of me wearing this, it fit me perfectly with an extender (except the short wire problem), but I've definitely outgrown it a long time ago.


Original 2014 Review: This bra fits really well in the cups and makes me think that my Cleo: George is too small. The color is bright and awesome and the fabric is very comfortable.

The minor problem? I need an extender. I never thought I would say this, but the band is actually painfully tight and just barely stretches to my comfortable full-breath circumference.

The major problem? The underwires are almost an inch shorter than the channels. Combined with the tight band, OUCH!!! They dig in to my ribs on my sides and leave very deep, bright red dents in my skin! Because the wires stop short on the sides, the fabric directly above stands away from my skin due to the tension and allows some tissue to escape out the sides.

The good thing is that this bra definitely works for full-on-top shapes, which I am, so yay! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I will buy an extender and hopefully it will fit perfectly in no time!
