Used to fit

I bought this bra first in 32HH, which was way too big in the cup. I exchanged it into H-cup and this is the result.
Pros:
- very pretty
- soft material, feels good against the skin
- sturdy band, true to size
- natural, understated shape
- good support

Cons:
- cups are bell-like and deep, and there's something strange in their shape. The highest point of the breast is below the nipple => profile is droopy. Not by much and it doesn't show under a thicker shirt, but still. I wouldn't call this shape "balconette".
- Won't suit top-full breasts as the top of the cup is tight. Quadraboob is a hairsbreadth away!
- cups are spaced out wide.
- the underwires are still quite high.

Despite this bra not being a perfect fit, I'll keep it. It's not bad by any means, just not perfect á la Freya Lacey.

***
Edit: The Elsa softens considerably after a few washes and seems to shape itself according to my breasts. Result: it's REALLY comfortable! Okay, so the shape is not my preferred EM perky, but the bra is so wonderful to wear that I'll forgive that little detail.

This bra is not owned any more
