My height (5'2") didn't seem to work for this initially with the straps worn in the conventional way. The wire came up high near the armpits and the cup coverage was too much. The wire is more U shaped than Nike swoosh shaped. I suspect this would have worked better if I were not slightly asymmetrical and slightly conical, as the wire dug in more on my smaller breast side, where I can't quite fill out the bottom of the cup as my inframammary fold is slightly higher on that side. The gore wore on my xiphoid process rather than regular sternum area because there was a sort ... of fleshy strip right above my xiphoid process that kind of forced the gore to stay low. I wore this for one workday with the straps in regular (not criss-cross) position. The straps started slipping after half an hour. Today I retried this with criss-cross strap position, and it is working a lot better, but the cups are still higher coverage than I need. If I'm not careful on position, the cup cuts a bit into my tail of Spence. The straps are not slipping, though. The wires sit better in my inframmamary fold, I don't feel a gap in the cup this time, and though there is a very small amount of quadding near the center, the gore isn't digging in. The band was still right, especially the dental-floss like bottom of the band, but everything feels distributed better with the straps in the criss cross position at the bottom of the bra band in back. I have since tried this bra with a non-elastic extender to add an inch, and wear has been much more bearable. This was bought on sale for $17. I suspect it was a return because there were already creases at the bottom of the cups at time of purchase. I probably would not have paid full price for this, but the quality was sufficient for the sale price.--After wearing 5 more times, the bra has become more comfortable. With stretching the dental floss feel of the bottom elastic is gone.
