Didn't fit

This bra. I'm not even sure what to say.

So it is bandless and marketed to petite plus gals. But the apex of the cup is 2 inches higher than my apex. So it's for someone with much taller roots than I (granted I have quite short roots). Also, the projection is all at the very top of the cup. There is almost none at the wire. So this bra would be good for someone with tall shallow breasts. But at this size how many people are like that? In smaller cup sizes it could be great though.

Very little room for center projection. Gore isn't too high for this size. Wires are pretty pokey. They are narrow but super flexible and will permanently bend back like other Elomi wires.

The fabric is very soft and smooth. The lace is printed. I like the black and white pattern with the red bows. I would love this fabric on a different shaped bra. The band is plain black mesh. The bra is quite lightweight with no lining.

Black colorway

This bra is not owned any more

    The apex.....giggle. I have tried bras like that. Not for us shorties ;-)

    OK this is kind of a crazy thing to offer to petite plus women in this cup size range! I'd think the main audience for a large-band option with tall and shallow cup would be tall, broad-built folks.

  • wendybien right? I get the concept, but how many petite plus women with tall wide roots and super shallow breasts are there in a size H? I mean even in smaller sizes high waisted with tall roots can't be super common.

  • This bra seriously confused me too, although I guess I have taller roots so not quite the same problem. But in a 36GG, while I filled the cup with the tiniest ruffle at the top in my smaller size, the gore didn't quite tack and I had the weirdest feeling that my boobs were under my arms.

    Lol, I am petite framed and very narrow shouldered and nothing makes my boobs look as amazing as this bra. Not sure why.

    I knew it would work for someone! You can also try the Anushka HC and Moonlight HC if you like this one!

    jassykangaroo , that's great! I have pretty wide shoulders and a medium frame I think, so those might be key differences.

  • jassykangaroo Fantastic :-)

  • I have anushka! Love it as well, but deff isn't as amazing as Tara! I think I have tall, projected roots, and while this bra is "shallow" it isn't shallow for me because my projection jutts straight out. I'm very full on top, wide but self supporting boobs. I have it in a 40H and it's too tight with an extender, and I'm usually a 42GG/j in goddess. I'm not sure what size to get it in because of my "small" frame. It's the only bra that gives me cakes on a plate that I've been dying to have again lol. I have been recommended the @sculptressechichi but haven't gotten around to getting it. I do want the moonlight as well, but I can't tell if I need wider or narrower wires. I've been very uncomfortable in bras lately so I think I've grown /:
