Didn't fit

I grabbed this on sale, knowing it wouldn't fit in the band, but for only AU$20 I couldn't resist. As I suspected, the band is far too tight for me -- but an extender takes care of that nicely.

The cups fit well. I get a little bit of what feels like quadboob near the gore, but I think it's actually a slight shape incompatability, the gore being too low to contain my inner fullness. When I push there, I don't get any quadboob higher up, so I think this is the right cup volume. I haven't worn it long enough to judge the wire width properly; I suspect they're actually too wide for me, but not to an uncomfortable degree, so for now I'm marking them as a fit.

The gore is a little too wide, but its low height means it's mostly out of my way.

The look of this bra is a little overdone for my taste. I could definitely do without the rosebud swirl things along the back of the band.

Fully adjustable straps (with side edging to stop slipping), and 3 hooks in the band, which is lovely. (I suspect I'd lose that if I sister-sized up to the 30FF?)

*Edited to add: holy irritated armpits! Having worn the bra all day, the cups are so high they're sawing off my armpit.

This bra is not owned any more
