FYI: this is a half cup that is cut like the Patsy, not like the Totally Tartan.

im a little torn on the fit of this bra. i do see the littlest bit of quad boob, mostly on my right side. the gore floats the tiiiiniest bit at the very top, and if i hold it down the overspill becomes a little more apparent. and if i shove the wires so they are in the empty channel space at the underarms and not in the gore (which i like to do because it helps contain more side tissue, and most gores are too wide and high anyway) i *definitely* have quad boob. the band is most comfortable on the tightest hook, so i think i will be trying to find this in a 32FF or 32G so i can get the most wear out of it, possibly with an extender. otherwise, it seems fairly good in the fit. i think it probably doenst have enough lower projection for me, because i can sort of feel the wires wanting to tilt? im not sure what that means, but i would guess a projection issue. who knows!

one MAJOR improvement in this cut from the patsy: the fabric! so much more comfortable. patsy has this weird, rough fabric that even makes the straps. as a consequence, the straps on patsy were murder for me. they scrape and scratch and ugh, awful. the straps on these are made of a thick and soft elastic, with the pattern of the cup continuing onto the front them. they appear to be fully adjustable as well, big plus there. the band is made of the same pattern, but a thinner mesh just like patsy where it has a band of elastic at the top and bottom of it. i wish it were a thicker fabric with uniform elastic, because these types of elastic bordered bands arent the most appealing on a squishy back. thats minor, though.

appearance wise, i actually really love this print! i thought id hate it, but i was only getting this as part of a size-check order and didnt care too much about looks. the tiny cottages read as an interesting geometric from far away, but up close are adorable. i think the color scheme of grey scale with tiny sherbert-orange details helps keep it from being too cutesy and weird. i would really like to see more unique designs like this, especially in nearly-neutral patterns like this.
