About this Bra

Purchasing:
* Paid $40 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* Available in black, white, and brown only.
* Followed advice from other reviews to size up in the band and down in the cup.

Band:
* Stretch lace with a very wide bottom elastic band.
* Elastic at top of band (usual width).
* A true longline (will provide waist shaping).
* Wing support: boning (total of 4 pieces: at outside edge of each cup and each wing)
* Continuous band - band straight under wires.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
** smooth satin, do NOT stretch
* soft (don't stand up on their own)
** front adjust
* partial adjust (fixed portion is in the back)
* leotard back (yes, a leotard back on a longline)
* CENTER PULL

Cups:
* 2-seam (3-piece) full cups
** no underwire, but looks like it does because has an empty channel
* Boning extends where the outside of wire would sit.
* All pieces constructed of non-stretch lace and lined with a non-stretch, opaque knit.
* Between lace and lining is a thin, smooth layer of fiber-fill (like the stuffing in stuffed animals).
* Soft cups. (Fiber fill provides modesty only, no shaping.)


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: Was not able to fasten behind by back on my own. (Was able to fasten in front, but then could not turn it around. Had to have my husband fasten it.) Once fastened, was comfortable (not too tight) and stays in place.
* wings: height good
* no axillary skin spillage
* smooths rib flares
* attractive and comfortable waist shaping

Gore: Comfortable, good spacing, height fine. Wireless, so doesn't fully tack, but close.

Cup:
* Gives breasts projected shape.
* Edge of cup and underarm boning sit on breast tissue. Wing boning is far behind breast tissue.
* Top of cup wrinkles (can accept more upper fullness than I have).
* Bottom of cup: filled very nicely

Straps:
* not too far apart (excellent separation)
* adjust short enough

Assessment and Plan:
* Cups too narrow. Try 34DD.
* Looks sexy. Husband loves it too. Not an everyday bra. Would work as a bedroom bra (where fit is far less important than looks).
* Online advice to size up in band and down in cup was correct. Two sizes each might be even better.
