Around 30F or so? High-set or petite? Want low gore, low cups, high sides?

Try Agent Provocateur's Jena Bra, which is on its third markdown during Agent Provocateur's semiannual sale. The product page says it's bandeau style, but it's really a super low plunge. I'm extremely petite and have no space between my breasts. Gores are never low enough for me, but Jena's is! Not only that, the sides and wings are so high under my arms I don't even have to shorten the partially adjustable straps all the way! This is the only partially adjustable strap bra about which I can say that. There are three rows of hooks and eyes. If you feel like you can never fully encase your side tissue because wires and wings are never high enough, you may find this one does.

Another thing about all the Agent Provocateur bras I've tried is that for any given style--plunge or balconette--the cups are lower coverage than any other brand in the same style. That includes Ewa Michalak's 3D style. Being petite, I love low coverage cups. I feel so sexy in Agent Provocateur bras. This despite the very embarrassing marketing Agent Provocateur wallows in. I'll try to block their advertising from my mind and enjoy the Jena for itself.

I wore the black 32E Jena Bra all day. It doesn't come in 30F, my UK usual size. My sister size 32E seems a good fit. The straps are wide-set, though. I'm broad shouldered for my height and build. I can envision the straps causing problems for other petites who are also seeking low coverage cups.

The Jena Bra, part of their Classics Collection, is on sale for $40 now, during the last legs of the Agent Provocateur sale. I'm pretty sure this bra isn't worth its original $190 price, but it is a luxe bra. The fabrics are soft. Nothing is scratching or poking me. Most of my recent Ewa Michalak 3Ds are so rough in the hook and eye area I have to wear a cotton pad between that area and my skin.

My Bratabase entry will have a more detailed review. Shipping to the US is a whopping $20, plus sales tax, but the total is still decent if you're having trouble finding all these fit characteristics in one bra. If you end up ordering $150 or more product, use WELCOME2 to get free shippping.
