Didn't fit

I really like the back band on this bra: 4 rows of 3 hooks for support; smooth flat lace that doesn't show under clothes; the straps are cleverly connected to the band vertically so there is no curve to the bottom of the strap. It works nicely to control back fat, and at the same time kicks the straps in to keep them from sliding off the shoulders. The cups are thin traditional foam; they don't add extra bulk. They have the thickness and feel of a spacer cup, but because it has the 'old fashioned' type of foam it's actually better at hiding prominent nipples. The bandless front is great for a short torso.

BUT...it is designed for tall, shallow roots. (It wasn't quite so obvious by the measurements alone.) The cups are too tall for me and the underwire is long and sits well below my IMF.
Appearance wise, it's not a fancy bra or even sexy. But the Light Purple/Periwinkle color is beautiful! A little bit of color while still being neutral enough to blend under most clothes.

Light Purple colorway
