About this Bra

Purchasing:
* $56 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (some sizes/colors are on Amazon Wardrobe)
* fun, non-neutral colors are available

Band:
* Single layer of stretch opaque knit from seaming to clasps.
* Between outer edge of wire and wing-support seaming has a black, non-stretch lace outer and a gray, non-stretch mesh lining. Gore has same construction.
* elastic at top of band
* soft seaming for wing support
* continuous band - wires lower than wings
* back closure
* 3 columns of hooks

Straps:
* ridged elastic
* stiff (stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* leotard back

Cups:
* 2-seamed (3-section) balconette
* unpadded, very stiff underwire
* All panels are constructed of a black stretch lace. The top of cup is unlined. The remainder of the cup is lined with a gray non-stretch mesh.
* 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: stays in place with wear
* wings: too short, boobs escape
* no axillary skin spillage

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

Cups:
* Gave a wide, oval shape.
* Wires wide enough (SO RARE!!)
* Smooth line at top of cup on larger breast. (Wrinkles on smaller breast.)
* wrinkles at bottom the cup (not enough immediate projection at the wire)
* fit was too bad to judge projection
* Upper, outer edge of cups cut into armpit.

Straps:
* not too far apart, slip
* adjust short enough

Comfort & Fit Summary
* Recommended for wide and even fullness, but gave an unflattering shape.
* Didn't bother trying other sizes.
