About this Bra
This is an expensive, unpadded, seamed, full cup, underwire bra that disappears under clothing despite seaming.

Purchasing:
* $72.49 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* available in black, white, and beige plus several fun colors

Band:
* Outer layer of stretch mesh over an opaque knit lining. Both fabrics only stretch in the horizontal direction.
* Wing support: no seaming nor boning.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 4 columns of hooks (yes, 4).

Straps: smooth elastic, full adjust, leotard back

Cups:
* 3-seam (4-piece) full cup
* side support built into cup
* unpadded, stiff, twisty underwire
* Inner and outer, top edges of cup are edged with elastic. The outer cup edge elastic is less stretchy than inner and continues to the top of the band.
* Top panel is black mesh that stretches horizontally only (unlined).
* Outer (side support) panel is made of the same black, horizontal stretch mesh and lined with a beige non-stretch opaque knit.
* The lower inner panels are both constructed of black, non-stretch lace over a beige non-stretch mesh lining.
* Soft cups (no padding or molding).


About Me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* average-set (one finger 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


Fit

Band:
* length: stays in place with wear
* wings: too short, boob escape

Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

Straps:
* Feel wide but don't slip.
* Adjust short enough.

Cups:
* Wires enclose tissue nicely AND keep it inside cup.
* Quad boob.
* Shallow at wire. (But the snug band keeps it from sliding down chest.)
* Apex fits. (Not too shallow, too deep, nor off-center.)
* Give a wide, oval shape.
* Nice strong, supported wires. Tissue doesn't sneak behind wire with movement despite the cup being too shallow.
* Tail of Spence is enclosed after scoop & sweep, but pops out after any movement. Once out, cup cuts into.

Assessment & Plan:
* Cups too shallow. Try +1 cup size with same band.
* Update: This is the largest cup size on this band. The larger band rode up. Give up on this model.
