My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

So this bra fits pretty well!! My previous review of the other size is here: http://bra.pe/X0Xk/

My shape: close set, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

I ended up going to a 32 band to be comfortable and I can wear it on the second loosest hook which is great since there are still two more tighter hooks for the future.

The cups fit well and gives a nice profile under clothes, looks projected and rounded, very perky. The width seems to be great for me and the top of the cups is not closed, nor is it open, so I feel it works well. Sometimes when it’s too closed, it cuts into my soft tissue, and when too open it just gaps too much and I hate that. It can gap ever so slightly on the outer upper part of the cup (near the straps) depending on how I move my torso, but it's barely noticeable very minor that it doesn't show or annoy me. The gore is comfy (yay!) and tacks. Doesn’t bother my close-set breasts. It's lightly padded, so no nipple show-thru. You can see the seams of well-fitted shirts, but I don't mind.

Other things I love: the straps are nice and wide and the band is U-shaped in the back and has 3 hooks which feels so much nicer than having 2. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with this bra.

Edited to add: After having this bra for a while, I can confidently say that it's an awesome fit for me. After adjusting the hook closure and straps, the wires follow and stay closely under my IMF. Also it's super comfy, I'm so impressed by how "soft" it feels for all day wear.

  It is a Breakout Bras style. Not sure if it’s an exclusive or not.

  Thank you Calluna I also wanted to say I tried out the Curvy Kate Ellace bra you suggested and it's pretty awesome as well for my shape. 😀

• Thank you xuenylom On their website it says it's exclusive to Breakout Bras.

• Thank you Sonya

  I’m glad that the Ellace worked out. What size did you get?

• Calluna I tried the 30F first, band was way too tight (painful even!!) with an extender, and when I tried it upside down couldn't keep it on for more than 15 mins.

  So I returned that and ordered both 32E and 32F, the F is too big, wrinkling on the inside of the cup near the gore and top lace part is somewhat loose. The 32E is much better, the lace cuts in just a *little*, but I'm not too bothered since it's not very noticeable. I love the firmness of the band, it makes me feel very supported. I added measurements, but I will try to take some pics and review each this weekend hopefully! 🙂

  Awesome. My 30Es were really tight but I was ok using a row or two of extender, but it was also a bit small in the cup so I’m sure that was part of it. I don’t know if I should go 30F or 32E for myself. I’m not sure if I can do a 30FF or 32F. I really want to try a different size though, because I did really like the immediate depth and shape, as well as the light feel. It’s also a bit classy without being granny.

• Calluna I agree, it looks like nice classic bra, not granny at all. I think if you like a snug band, you will probably love the 30 size more.

• I have a 28” under bust but need 29” to be comfortable and supported. My 30Es only stretched to 28.5” so I could do them up but not wear them for a long period. I definitely needed at least one row of extender hooks. I think that I would probably be ok with the 32 because I have a good rotation of bras that it would not stretch out too fast even if it was on the middle hooks straight away. By your measurements, the 32 band is probably ideal in this cut.
