38J Pour Moi 3804 Imogen Rose Embroidered Underwire Balconette
This bra has underwires that are the right width for me, but the bra feels flimsy. There's very little support, despite having long enough wires (16.75") it doesn't tack at the gore, even though the depth is just right (14.5").
I don't have a lot of experience with Pour Moi and it's so hard to find a bra with the right wire width in my size (38J/38M). Elomi, Panache, and Goddess are nice and sturdy, but the wires are too wide for me.
This bra, like most bras I've tried, has straps set too far apart for me. I'm too low to use a J-hook (straps are never long enough) and not limber enough to use a strap to pull them in without help. As a result, I've bought and returned over 40 bras in the last two years, mostly due to wires too wide at the root and/or straps being too far apart. The wire width causes more pain than the straps digging into my arms, so I'm giving up on finding straps that fit.
I need to return this bra and I'm wondering if I should try for a different Pour Moi, or switch to another maker.
