ABOUT THIS BRA
This is a molded, lightly lined plunge bra with top stretch lace.
Purchasing:
* $68 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns
* Not available with Amazon Wardrobe.
* Available in black, white, four shades of beige (including the purchased shade “Cosmetic”), and navy. (Other sizes have more color options.)
Construction of band, straps, and cups identical to 32DDD - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge Bra (730023).
ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* wide roots (extend to 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 (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)
FIT DETAILS
Band:
* length: back rides up AND top is ever looser (so outer end of wire is unsupported)
* wings: height good, smooth line
Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.
Straps:
* Too far apart, slip.
* Adjust short enough.
Cups:
* Wire sits on axillary breast tissue.
* Breast pushes wimpy wire away (gap at tip of wire).
* Top of cup: smooth line BUT too short, nipple escapes when bending over
* Bottom of cup: major wrinkles (not enough immediate projection at wire) – contour foam scrunches into the gap AND ire pushed down to find more cup depth
* Cup apex: breasts are moving to the center to find more space
* Side view: flat (minimized), rounded
* Front view: wide (east-west)
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence.
Appearance Under Clothing:
* Under a thin tee-shirt, the lace-mesh seam is visible.
* Boat-neck does NOT reveal bra.
* Sleeveless shirt shows straps at shoulders and band/wing in armhole.
ASSESSMENT & PLAN
* 32G (this size): band too big, cups small (narrow & shallow)
* 32DDD (-1 cup size, brand uses US sizing): band fits (probably d/t boob taking up part of band), cups small (narrow & shallow)
* Considered trying a 30-band, but that wouldn’t solve all the other fit problems caused by shallow, molded cups.
