This is really a very pretty bra, but it doesn't come close to fitting and is getting returned. Another reviewer mentioned that the cups were comically small and I had the same issue. It gave me astoundingly bad quadboob. Often, my partner thinks a little quadboob looks sexy, but even he had to laugh and said it made it look like my boobs have eyebrows. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I would definitely have tried this in bigger sizes, were it available in stores near me, because I love the concept of it. The corset-look feel it has is cool and it really is quite lovely. It feels well made and has nice detailing.

The band is quite snug, but feels true to size. The cups are oddly shaped, definitely pointy, and the shortest and most shallow I have ever seen. (And, short cups, it turns out, are one of the main keys to a bra that fits me and my short roots.) They do a little inward dip and than bend back up at the edges.

I can't even figure out what is going on with the gore. It's totally floating (except at the bottom where the band is), and yet also a little stabby because it hits at an odd location on my sternum, depending on movement. I have very soft, wide-set, splayed boobs...so the gore width shouldn't be an issue, but somehow it seems too wide. I think that must be due to all of the tissue being smooshed in the way it is.

The forked end of the wide-set straps are pretty, but they are a non-stretch ribbon-like material. It looks like they should pull in and smooth down my somewhat prominent tail of spence, but they just feel like they're cutting into my skin constantly and the edge of the strap ends up under my arms. Even if this cups had fit, this would be a deal breaker because it is painful. The straps themselves are a nice width and stretchy.

After wearing this for 20 minutes, to see if maybe my breasts would settle in and the cups would round out, I ended up with significant red marks around my sides. Other reviewers mention it being soft, but I don't find any part of it to be particularly soft or comfortable.

My favorite things about this bra are taking it off (!) and that it makes me feel like I have big boobs ("that 30D is WAY too small!")
