The gore hurts because it is so high, and there is slight gapping at the tops of the cups. This bra is good for people who are FOT, have average or slightly above average projection, and don't mind a pokey gore.

This is great bra, just not for me. The gore comes up very high and then presses on my sternum to the point that it's hard to breathe. I tried it on and took some photos and in the time it left red marks everywhere it was against my body basically. Also, my nipple was almost falling out on one side so it is unwearable. The bra itself is cute, but all the lace on the top may be a problem for some shirts.

This is one of my most favorite bras I have tried on so far. I love the fabric and design of this bra. It was narrow and projected enough for me! Sadly it doesn't work because the straps are too far apart, and how it sits on me causes gaping in the center (due to straps angling inwards). When the straps are on straight, they rest on my shoulders, and the gaping goes away. The cups were too small, major quadboob. I'm fairly certain this would fit me in a larger cup, and if the straps were more inward,I would try it. Sadly for me, this is another case of I need a smaller band size/less wide straps. I got it in the ruby/spice colorway and it's gorgeous!

This bra looked a lot plainer in real life than in pictures, and I was actually quite pleased by it. I don't really like super flashy stuff.

This almost worked for me, but not quite. I got gaping at the top of the cups, and after thinking about it I decided that yeah, the cups were too big. The wires were right, though, so I wasn't too sure about sizing down. In any case, for whatever reason, this bra wasn't eligible for Amazon's exchange program, and the 28D was twice what I paid for the 28DD, so I just returned it.

The band was good. The straps were either ... ok or too wide. The cups didn't quite work for me, and yanking the straps (and therefore the cups) to the side made the cups sit ok, but the straps were too wide. In any case, the cup was squished at one of the seams on the right, and I just didn't fill the cup enough to correct it.

This was the third balconette I tried, and it seems to point to what the others did too: that I need to size down in the cups because the apex of my breasts are just too low for these. Ironically, this also means that I'm not as shallow on the bottom, but my breasts remain wide, shallow, and tall, so who knows what'll work for my boobs.
