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 under cups and between wing boning and hooks. Non-stretch lace between cup and wing boning.
* 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
* very 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: Comfortable, stays in place with wear.
* Could not fasten behind by back on my own. Was able to fasten in front then turn it around. Unlike the 34D, did not need my husband to fasten it.
* wings: height good
* no axillary skin spillage
* smooths rib flares
* attractive and comfortable waist shaping

Gore: Comfortable, good spacing, height fine. Wireless, so tack.

Cup:
* Too big. Do not shape breasts, only cover them.
* Edge of cup and underarm boning sit on breast tissue.
* Top of cup smooth (but cup is collapsed atop the breast).
* Bottom of cup: filled

Straps:
* not too far apart
* do NOT adjust short enough

Assessment and Plan:
* Cups too deep & narrow. Band comfortable but difficult to put on.
* Try going up at band size and down a cup size: 36C
* Looks sexy. Husband loves it too. The 34D 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.
