Band:

* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: soft boning
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* smooth, non-stretch satin

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: way too big
* wings: too short, boobs escape
* Breast is pushing wire away from body.
* no axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine. High, but comfortable.

Cup:
* Way too big. Can fit my fist into the upper cup.
* Wires very, very narrow.
* Top of cup wrinkles.
* Bottom of cup wrinkles.
* Doesn’t cut into tail of Spence.


Straps:
* not too far apart
* adjust short enough

Assessment and Plan:
* Don’t mind the pointy shape, but wires are way too narrow and band too big. Trying other sizes (32DD, 32DDD, and 34D) haven’t helped.
* Need a 30-band, which is not made. Even then, probably too projected.

Fit information

On Jun 2019 View measurements

Breast pushing wire away from body. Cups v.v. narrow. Can fit a fist into the upper cup b/c so little boob is held inside the wires.

Underwire length:
Is too short on the side, boobs escape
Bottom of the cup:
Can't quite fill it
Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it
Band fit:
The band is definitely too big
Cup's width:
Outer cup cuts into breast tissue in the sides
