About this Bra

Purchasing:
* $42 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (some sizes/colors available on Amazon Wardrobe, but not this one)
* Available in black and beige only.

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

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

Cups:
* 2-seam (3-piece) half cup (Called a balconette but the cup edge is diagonal, not horizontal, so really a half cup.)
* unpadded, stiff underwire
* All pieces constructed of a non-stretch mesh with a leaf applique (kinda like a lace). Unlined.
* Soft cups (no molding or padding).

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: bottom of band snug, top of band loose
* wings: too short, armpit quad boob
* no axillary skin spillage (doesn't cut into tail of Spence)

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

Cup:
* Gives breasts round, projected shape.
* Wires way to narrow.
* Top of cup smooth (but only because so much boob escaping cup).
* Bottom of cup filled nicely.

Straps:
* not too far apart
* adjust short enough

Appearance Under Clothing:
* Seams visible under thin T-shirt. Even worse, the apex seams cause the appearance of erect nipples (even when nipples actually flat).
* Not visible under V-neck.
* Visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt with movement only (not visible at rest).

Assessment and Plan:
* Cups far too narrow. Band slightly large.
* Based on measurements table, probably need at least a 30G to get enough width, but cup depth will be too big.
* Style too projected for my shape. Try different styles.
