I can't decide on whether this is truly ABTF. Or, it fits, sure, but is it comfortable and wearable?

The first thing I'll say is that this bra compensates for both my center-fullness and asymmetry perfectly. My breasts are not held entirely separate by the gore, but instead naturally come together around the gore. It's a concept I never would have come around to without the invaluable advice of Jaimie at Bra Obsessed (yes, a plug, but an incredibly well deserved one). Both the cookie pads and the smoothing that a padded cup provides make my breasts look pretty dang even. I usually wear it with the pad in the cup for my smaller breast only.

Initially, the band was almost too tight. I like a really tight band, but I constantly have to watch out for damaging the hooks from too much tension. I'm mostly wearing it on the second or third row of hooks.

The straps. Ah, the straps. They're unbelievably wide. I know, I know, close set straps affect fit - but seriously. I'm at a point where I don't care what kind of shape a bra gives me as long as it fits. The straps appear to be of good construction, but the tend to flop over (outward) on my shoulders in a way that's reminiscent of the crappy straps on my 34J Curvy Kate bras (I like a lot of things about Curvy Kate bras, but the straps are just not scaled appropriately for larger cup sizes). They're also awkwardly short. I'm a person who always complains about bra straps being too LONG, but I have to wear these straps quite loosely to keep them from murdering my shoulders.

As a consequence of the straps, I've been playing around with band tightness. I think I finally found a happy medium the other day with looseish straps and the third row of hooks, but after about ten hours I was still ready to get it the hell off me.

I don't get a ton of boobs-to-chin level lift from this bra, but there's some and it does give me the rounded bouncy shelf of boob goodness you'd expect from an EM S bra.
