man, i really wanted to love this bra. im pretty sad that it didnt work out, and ive kept it for some time now hoping that eventually it would magically fit, but it doesnt https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> its a gorgeous color, sort of a pale raspberry with a dark blue lace overtop. the lace itself has a sheen so its almost shifting to a purply blue. its a half cup, but theres a decorative lace trim along the top that makes it nearly look like a balconette at first.

fit wise: the band is a 34, and it feels best on the tightest hook. im not sure if size down though, because then id most likely need an extender, and im not sure how fast TR bras break in. the straps are also wide set on this, so an extender would make that worse. i cant attest to if the width would dig at armpits, because i havent worn this for an extended time, but i assume i would find it more annoying as time went on. the gore is high, but so far in try-ons doesnt seem painful or stabby. its nice and narrow, so thats a plus! the wires feel like a good width if maybe a bit wide, and they dont feel too tall or too short at the sides.

my main issue is with the cups. there is some odd large bubble/wrinkle at the top of the cup, right across the whole top section. the edge lies flat, but there's space inside still. its really similar to what i get with 3 piece cups, but this is definitely constructed like a half cup so im confused on what is happening. i fill the bottom 2/3 of the cup really well, but i have extra space in the top half, and thats not usually how half cups are for me. i think the cup wants more upper fullness than i have, and closes off too quickly for me, leading to empty space that makes that weird baggy wrinkle. its very obvious under clothes, and it also leads to me not feeling secure in the cups. the shape i get also ends up being more natural and not lifted, so all around i just dont like the look on me. its a sad, sad mismatch https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more
