    Fits

    First wear fit/review:
    In a 34H, assume I will wear a 34H. I consider myself to be projected, close set, and both mostly vertically and horizontally evenly full, except maybe a touch more full in the center horizontally.
    Fit seems ok. First thing I notice is that the lace at bottom of band is itchy. Hopefully it settles with wear/washing or it may be taken off. Straps seem a little far apart, but very tolerable with just slightest tightening of straps. Band on loosest setting fits correctly. Cup volume is good except I think I'm a little center full and Im not used to any kind of plunge, so it ... feels like I may fall out the middle. Could just be me being used to full coverage bras. Really like that it's Navy instead of freaking beige, and that its a moulded/padded bra in my size for $25 instead of $75. It is a darker navy than the stock photo appears to me, but also obviously not black. This has a 3 part/seams cup, and the lining is seamed in the same places inside the cup, so I may have lines when I take it off. I get a touch puffy at the top/center of the cup, so I may have been able to go up a cup size, or there may have been gapping in a larger cup and the puffing is from being slightly more close set/center full than the bra is designed. Hard for me to tell and not enough of an issue that I'm going to return it and try for another. Cup shape is also pointier than my natural shape, but gives the projection my shape needs. Gore is perfectly flat and not digging in. This is very similar in general shape and fit to the Elomi Cate on me, same general projection, but a pointer shape on the High Hopes and the Cate didn't make me fell like I'd fall out in the middle (Maybe just due to the fabric wall instead of plunge?).
    Under a thin tank top, I can see seam lines and where the bra ends and I start fairly obviously. No actual nipple bump, but a fake nipple bump seems to be made by the odd pointy shape that's slightly off where my actual nipple is (even though I fill the volume, I'm just a rounder shape and this bra is a little east/west compared to me, so it's slightly to the side).
    Construction seems ok. It quickly bounced back from being mashed into a shipping bag and crumpled. My biggest concern would be the plastic loops holding the straps in the back.
    Jumping/bending: This is not going to ever be a sports bra, its far to jiggly, but I don't bounce out or fall out.
    Im not sure if the fake nipple bump, seams, and being a little more E/W while Im more centered are going to be deal breakers or not.
    If I keep it, I will try to post an update with thoughts from actually wearing it for a time.
    Quality 4 (not sure of those strap rings) /Comfort 4 (worried about falling out the middle) / Appearance 3 (strap lines and making a fake nipple bump)

    Two month update: Currently one of my favorite bras. I got over it being a plunge, which I'm not used to. I still wish it didn't create it's own bumps where the seams come together, but I like the fit, support, and level of padding.

    year update: I actually bought two more of these. It's still my favorite fitting bra, although if I'm active I occasionally need to adjust as my boobs are a little more close set than the bra's cups and they fall out a little in the center. I did have a wire bust out the center when moving some heavy stuff, and a second had a hook break in the wash- I'm not sure if they were both the couple month old ones or the year old one and a newer one. I wish they were a little more durable, and also more available to buy more.
