I have actually had this bra for about five months now, so I think I have given it a reasonable test drive. This is the Neon, which wasn't my first choice. It was supposed to be Malibu Blue, but Breakout Bras ran out of my size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

My measurements for reference: snug 32, BTT 30.5, standing 38.5, leaning 41, lying 38. Pendulous, projected, narrowish short root, FOB/even. I have a lot of outside fullness, if that's a thing.

Band is snug but comfortable on loosest hooks, even after five months wear. Gore tacks as well as it can on my wonky ribcage. Wires are a little bit wide, but not enough to bother me. Cups just about perfect, no quadding, just a slight bit of wrinkling at the bottom. The side profile is ... spectacular. I have never in my life had boobs that perky!

So, it fits. But there are a few issues.

The wires have very little padding. I have funny rib flares which tend to make banded bras slide down in front and curl up, so bandless styles like Lucy tend to work better for me in terms of keeping the wires in place. But oh my goodness, I wouldn't mind a little more padding on those wires!

I also have a bit of that in-cup quad boob going on. Probably because my tissue is so soft. It's not bad and I don't wear clingy clothes much, so not a serious issue.

The bra is cute if somewhat garish in this colourway. I am not a personal fan of embroidered bras, but it's grown on me.

Before I found ABTF, I would have considered this a bra of unparalleled awesomeness, but of course now I know it's not perfect. However, it is pretty damn good.
