Didn't fit

*UPDATE 4/18/17* so far still havent worn this, its just not comfortable. the band is too snug (ive gained a bit of weight), the gore is stabby (probably because the band is too tight), and the top edge of the cup doenst lay flat and drives me nuts. time to pass this one on!

**super edit!** so now the band is fine on me, no more extender, and i no longer notice gore problems. that being said, ive only worn this about 2 times so far, so its not really getting any use. the straps dig me in the pits, so i cant wear it for work, or they cause me pain when i try to be super mobile. my main beef is that the gaping across the tops of both cups seems really obvious now, and i cant tell if the cup itself is too small, or just too open. im at a loss for what bras will ever fit me.

**EDIT** wore it out today for the first time (only for a few hours) and it actually was pretty comfortable! the straps surprisingly didn't bother me, and with an extender the band was fine. the slight cup gape wasn't visible under my shirt (though it wasnt a thin one). im curious if one cup smaller would work better/give a more lifted look. the gore did start to feel a bit itchy by the end of the night, but never painful. might be a keeper after all!

my first ewa! well, one of two. appearance wise, this is super gorgeous. its a black and silver sheer cup with tiny flowers and leaves, and silver brocade-ish fabric on the band and gore. its a very classic, sophisticated look, and i feel super fancy.

fit wise, its not perfect, but is a lot closer than i thought my first try would be. the cups seem fine width wise and depth wise, although i get a hint of gaping along the top edge. im not surprised, since ive got lower than average apex and tall roots with less upper pole fullness. i dont think it will be an issue for me under clothes, or affect support. the straps are a bit too wide for comfort (and are probably contributing the the gaping of the cups because they get caught in my armpits) and that's something i really dislike.

the gore is nice and narrow but is a touch high, though not unbearable. the wires feel like they are right about perfect (6 inches in this size). the band feels just a little too snug on the loosest hook, and one hook on an extender feels perfect. its like new according to the person i bought from, so i assume it would break in and not need the extender after a few wears.

one odd thing is that, when im wearing it, the fabric on the side panels get weird horizontal wrinkles in them. wearing way too loose doesn't fix them, and neither does wearing it too tight.

i have another EM bra on the way in another cut and size, and if that one fits better i will be sending this one onto a new home. its pretty, but to really feel wearable i would need to try and move the straps in, and im not confident enough in my sewing skills to butcher a bra this nice.

This bra is not owned any more

Fit information

On Apr 2017

gore is stabby, possibly because this is too tight in the band. floppy upper edge of cup makes in unwearable for me.

Center gore comfort:
Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too high
Strap separation:
Are too far apart
Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it
Band fit:
I can fasten it, but it feels too tight
