Didn't fit

Got this from a bratabase member on a whim (knew I needed something more projected than what I have and decided to try the first thing I found -- got 28FF instead of 30F because Freya seems to run stretchy in the band) and the fit is comically wrong for my shape. It is definitely more projected, but not in the right places.

Things I loved: the color (teal) is just gorgeous.... I wanted it to work so badly just because of the color. The band fits perfectly as well-- nicely snug on the loosest hooks.

What was wrong: everything else, ha.

My shape is fairly even, leaning ever so *slightly* to FoB. In this bra, I filled out the bottom of the cups, all the way up to where the seams meet, and felt like my boobs were trying to bust out of the side panel, but the entire top of the cup was totally empty. The combination of lack of room on the outside edges and too much room in the center made my boobs/ nipples point in at each other, which just looked bizarre (especially combined with the empty lace in the top 1/3 of the cup). This bra makes me feel like I should avoid plunges in the future and stick to balconettes/ half cups, which is what I'm usually drawn to style-wise anyway.

The wires were also uncomfortably too narrow (kept wanting to stretch/ pull them wider to fit around me and scoop & swooping to try and get all the way in there), especially on my larger boob, and the gore dug in painfully. (Still sore nearly 24 hours after taking it off.)

This bra is not owned any more
