Very big, stiff wires. They come up much too high for my petite shape. It is a beautiful shade of purple. The band fits snug for a 34.

This bra is not owned any more

I was fitted for this bra in June of 2012. At the time, it was a perfect fit. Since then, my underbust has gotten smaller and lifting weights has increased my bust size enough that I get quadboob if I wear this. This was the first balconette I tried that didn't give me a bizarre boob shape like a fat foot stuffed into a tiny slipper. It gave a nice rounded shape (not as round as a Deco but pretty round) and was fairly comfortable for the first few hours I wore it. Then the tall underwires started poking under the arms. ...

I have three bras in this size and style, bought rather impulsively before the poking began. On one, I bent the underwires out slightly. On another one, I took in the center gore. The third, I left just as it came. I get poked by all of them. The only way I can avoid poking is to put the bra on the way the fitter put it on me -- arms go in first, lean over, fill in the cups, stand up, and do the hook. The thing is I have a very hard time doing the hooks myself when I'm getting dressed like that. I need to do the hooks first, then put arms and boobs in, in that order. So any time I wear this, I expect I'm going to have to pull it down constantly and I'm going to get poked.

The center gore is pretty wide for someone as short as I am, especially since my boobs don't really have space between them when left to their own devices. There is a bit of an east-west effect. Not toooooo terrible with a crew necked t-shirt, but this is impossible to wear with anything that's supposed to bare cleavage. I actually have no cleavage in this bra whatsoever. That's...weird.

I'm not excited about the yellow color. I don't fully hate it, but I'm also not really feeling it. At the time I bought it (them), I was just so happy to have something that fit, that stopped the fire I was feeling between my shoulder blades, that I didn't much care.
