Didn't fit

Very short, slightly narrow, even, close set, projected breasts....

Because gore wires must overlap for a bra to fit me, I anticipated preferring the sister size 32FF to the 30G. Overlapping the gore wires shortens the band approximately 1". However, wearing the 32FF was remarkably less comfortable than the 30G. For some reason, the 30G I received had a wider cup and narrower gore than the 32FF. The depth was identical, but the wider cup combined with narrower gore created more volume for my breasts. When I do alter the gore of the 30G, I may require an extender. But, the wire currently sits on my tissue which increases the circumference of my band; maybe....maybe not.

Opulent is the first word that came to my mind. I'm smitten. Sigh. When the light hits the golden embroidery, the embroidery shimmers against a saturated merlot. The straps are luminous: I won't attempt to hide their spectacular color and sheen.

This is not nearly as comfortable as the Comexim Eve, but this bra fits better. The lift is substantial and my breasts look 20 years younger. The cup height is ideal for very short roots which is opposite what I experience with Comexim: their cups are too tall for the immediate projection I require. But, Anna is contemplating a solution https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Curvy Kate includes three rows and columns in the fastener and .75" straps: this is identical to Comexim. Sincerely, I appreciate more fasteners and thick, supportive straps.

I'm surprised I like this bra so much. And, I'm stunned it fits well compared to the 96 other bras I've tried. Thank you lcl0706 for recommending this bra...a few times. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Note: there appears some dimensional differences between the berry/copper and black/purple models which were released in different years. Berry/copper measurements are a bit deeper and wider. So much so, in fact, I hesitate to order the same size in the black/purple colorway.

Edit: After narrowing and overlapping the gore, the wire under my most projected breast now digs in. And, there is empty space in the bottom of the cup. Finally, the lift is so good, the narrowed, overlapped gore still sit on my breasts along the gore. I will refrain from using adjectives to describe the frustration I feel right now. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />
