My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.

My first Ewa plunge in 60K. I was nervous about this because of the strap issue. The straps are still set quite wide, and I get the characteristic gore gaping because of the straps. The strap gore gap is a dilemma though. If I move the straps in, the cups might be too closed on top and cut into my tall shallow roots. I always have this problem when I outgrow a bra, this is the first place I notice cutting in and it makes my hands go numb.

I have two cookies on my right side, and it causes weird things to happen to this bra. The gore does not fully tack with the cookies in, but it’s the only way to get my super short right breast to get closer to the top of the cup. I probably will not wear this bra without the cookies, as the gaping on the right side is too much without them.

The band on this one actually stretches to 28”. I am super happy about this one, and I can wear it on the loosest set of hooks and feel secure in it, when I actually manage to hook all of the hooks.

Overall, I am very pleased with this plunge. The design, the band length, and the fit really just work for me.

This bra is not owned any more

  So is the Pl Zenith part lace on top then instead of a full foam cup, or am I misinterpreting the pictures?

  So pretty on you. I see your gore issue. Hmmmmm

• 1

  This is beautiful, glad it works for you!

• Calluna The lace is on the outside, the cups are full foam underneath.

• The cookie pockets on this are rather big and black, so it does kind of look like it's not all foam underneath.

• Oh ok. It reall looks like it’s the straight lace on top!

  The colours of this one always get me, it's so beautiful!

  It looks so good on you and I am jealous! (My SF Zenith has yet to arrive.) The colors are spectacular.

  Thank you for mentioning the "when I actually manage to hook all of the hooks" as I thought I was the only one who manages to miss the middle hook almost every time. (Though I think maybe I just unhook it when I go to the 3rd hook....?)

  I always do something weird with the hooks. I either miss one, cross hook it, or hook the second hook on the first eye. I have to get my husband to check it 🤨

  Remember back as teens when you put your bra on backwards, hooking it in the front then whipping it back around and putting it on? Ha! That was so much easier, yet absolutely not supportive.

  I have done the mishook as well, and with the major V back bras, the cross over among rows too.

  MamaPagan I still put my bra on like that. So does my mom...
  Then I adjust and scoop and swoop..

  I tried to do that the first time I had a proper fitting bra. The wires got stuck and poked me.

• 1

  It wears out the band :(

• 1

  Yeah, I'm with Sovavosi on that one, trying to shimmy the wires around and then up over my boobs? Not happening. Boobs first then band then straps. No other way works for me now. :-/

  Well my waist is also 31” so I can’t clasp it down there in any case. I put the cups on my boobs then clasp it in the back, then pull up the straps.

• 1

  Yeah my waist is a bit larger than my ribs as well. Go with what works best now, right?

• 2

  Yup. Everybody has their own best way. :)
  I dont put it around my waist though (I could). I put it around my ribs and turn it around. I dunno how. It's how I've always done it. I'd never get my bra on otherwise. I have no husband and my boyfriend would never help me put on a bra. He's too eager to get my out of it :P

  40+ and single "problems". Bwa ha ha ha ha

  I put my bra on upside down, then flip the cups up and put on the straps. I know it’s supposed to wear out the bra but it’s the only way I can figure out how to get them on.

• 2

  i am not coordinated enough to fasten behind me. I've tried and tried and it just frustrates me too much.

  But I'm so jealous - still waiting on my FB Zenith I ordered in November!!

• 2

  Hmm. I didn't know that it wears out the band. I put it on upside down and backwards, not on my waist, but at my underbust. I definitely cannot whip it around, lol, but I do slowly turn it around and then lean forward as I put the cups on. I have a super hard time doing up the back when it is behind me. And I also end up with the 2nd hook undone frequently, I think it happens when I do up the 3rd..

  A couple of months ago I was at an apple orchard (only applicable because people are walking around, reaching up to get apples, and generally mild excercise/movement). I saw a woman walking in front of me in a very clingy shirt, and I could see right through the shirt that her bra was hanging on by 1 hook. I was torn about whether to say anything to her, because I was imagining it popping and boobs flying out, but she was with a group of men, and I couldn't see anyway to say anything without it being terribly embarrassing. I hope she made it through the day!

• veggiechic oh that's horrible! I think I still would have whispered it to her. You would figure she could feel it. Or maybe the other hook snapped mid-day so she didn't have much choice? My brain is overthinking this scenario, haha!

• 1

  MamaPagan I didn't feel it until I saw it, then it felt different after I clasped it.

• 1

  MamaPagan I know, I have thought about it for a couple months! I just have to hope she made it through her day without disaster.
