im so disappointed by how this bra fits https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> i searched for it for ages, and took a chance on it because even though there was (at the time) no info on this size, i thought it could be my holy grail bra (need more unpadded half cups!!), but it sadly isnt. im never sure what size i am anymore, and all i could find was a 34F, so i decided to try it and see if it would be alright. although the measurements all point to a good fit, i think its the shape that is an issue.

the wires are nice and narrow, so those are great! the band is good for me on the first set of hooks, and i could probably wear it on the second set right away, but im going to return it so i didn't think it wise to really test the band too much. its not a thin material like freya half cup bands, its a sturdy and thick kind. so while it goes to 35 inches, it doesnt feel flimsy or like its too loose. i feel like, with this kind of material, it anchors better and isnt as prone to stretch out a ton.

the straps are wide set, but dont appear to be so wide set that i would hate them. again, im not going to be able to wear it for more than this try on, so i dont actually know how they would function in real wear. they seem a bit shorter than straps like freya, as ive got maybe 2 more inches left to extend them before im out of room, an don my freya straps im usually in the opposite boat, where i constantly shorten them a ton.

i wasn't sure how to mark the cup fit, since the extra space i have isnt so much on the upper edge, but inside the cup at the apex. on my smaller side i do have some small amount of loose area at the top, but that kind of comes with the territory. its just a bit loose on the top half of the larger left side, mainly a pucker right at the gore. in both cups, i have extra space at the apex, and im not sure if that's because of my nipple placement (ive always suspected they are lower than average as i often have apex issues) or if the bra is simply too deep there. either way, the wrinkling is annoying and the slight looseness of the upper cup makes me feel much less supported. the shape of the bra also seems to make me look very pointy and east-west, sort of how my breasts naturally look when unsupported. i dont like that splayed look at all. i fill the bottom of the cup plenty, but i dont feel very lifted or shaped by this bra :/

the gore seems like its too wide for me. the base of it especially seems really seprate, and im pretty sure i have a center full shape, so im unsure if that is part of the odd shape problem i get with this bra. its not too high, and the wires height at the armpits seem okay.

all in all, a very sad fail for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
