My shape: teardrop set at average height, with super tall and super wide roots that give me all the shallow-boob fitting problems but with more projection, very close-set tissue in the middle, and firm tissue that fights back when squished or pushed out of shape

This review is for the black colorway.

I got the Maddie in a swap. This could be a really cute Tshirt bra style for me! It's black-on-black, which is great because I wear a lot of black but I don't have an everyday black bra right now, it's pretty soft inside the cups, and the detailing doesn't show through my shirts.

What does show through is the gaping at the armpit. The straps are absolutely too far apart for me, and it really pushes the cup away from my breast; plus, they rub and itch. I don't know if a 28 would help the problem at all by bringing in the strap base. It still gives nice lift and shape, and it's pretty open on top while still supporting well.

It is otherwise great in the cups! I think I'll try a 30F to see if it will help at all.

The band is thin but great, the gore tacks and feels pretty good, and the wire under my arm is just about at the edge of my breast root (although the curve is too steep, as is the case with most of my bras, since my root tail is shaped like the Nike symbol). I will say that I'm not sure if it was the underwire or the side seam that was moderately itchy, but that might go away with a wash. Since I'm not keeping it, I'll let someone else figure that part out.

This bra is not owned any more
