About this Bra

Purchasing:
* $55 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* fun, non-neutral colors are available

Band:
* One layer of stretch mesh.
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: soft seaming.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* ridged elastic
* soft (don't stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* leotard back

Cups:
* 2-seam (3-piece) half-cup (top edge is diagonal, not horizontal, so I can't call this a balconette)
* unpadded, stiff underwire (wire twists instead of stretching)
* Upper panel is non-stretch lace (unlined).
* Lower panels are two layers of non-stretch mesh.
* Soft cups (no padding or molding).


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: fits
* wings: just barely tall enough
* no axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cups:
* Gives a pleasantly round shape.
* Wire width good (SO RARE).
* Top of cup gaps.
* Bottom of cup filled (enough immediate projection at the wire).

Straps:
* feel too far apart but don't slip
* adjust short enough

Comfort & Fit Summary
* Recommended for giving conical breast shapes (like mine) a nice round shape. It did this, but had other fit issues.
* Tried in multiple sizes (reviewed separately), all with a crummy fit. Once the cups were wide enough (32F), they were too big. Finally decided that this style is too projected for me and gave up.
