This cup construction is PERFECT. They fit me like how I wish my Comexim plunges would fit. I will definitely be picking up a Satine after trying this.

The wires are nicely narrow and cups are deep enough and shockingly don't gape on my short roots. They are very soft and lined with cotton. The wire channels are covered in a very soft material as well.

The band construction is similar to a Freya longline, it doesn't continue very far below the cups in the front and has no boning to keep it straight so it wrinkles on me.

My problem with this bra? As soon as I looked at it, I knew the sizing was amiss--this band is very large. It lays at 28 in and stretches to 34, making it run a whole band size large. Definitely size down in the band. I will have to contemplate whether to exchange it for a 30FF.

As a note, the panties run a bit large as well, again like Freya sizing. I ordered the large but I definitely could have gotten away with a medium.

This bra is not owned any more

• Lined with cotton: fantastic! This looks beautiful on you! Better than Comexim--congratulations :-) :-)

• Very beautiful! :-)

• I just want to ask, is it a little bit wrinkling on your right breast, specifically on the apex? Because I have a Satine (not longline) and I ordered one cup size bigger than usual because of the recommendations here on bratabase. It fits me except I have little bit empty space in my apex. I think it's too deep for me.

• No, i definitely filled the apex of the cups. Have you tried using a cookie? They stay in ok without a pocket in my experience but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to add a pocket.

  Yay, so glad you reviewed this. And short roots friendly, too! I've been meaning to try it. Are the cups padded at all or just lined? I was hoping it would be at least as padded as a Freya half cup longline.

  letstalkaboutbras It's got a flexible padding, similar to the Freya half cups. I thought it would be stiff but it isn't at all.

  wild_muses Thanks! Now I really must get to Bravissimo this week if at all possible :)

• wild_muses If you keasured the gore height from where a band typically ends vs where the long line ends, how tall is the gore? It looks delightfully short :-) :-) Thanks!

  Love4Pollinators It's about 2.5 inches to the bottom of the wire.
