Didn't fit

Far from perfect, but this is the closest I've been to a well-fitting molded bra in a while. In terms of fit, it is too shallow and a bit too wide, although it's really not too bad. Unfortunately, the black version of this bra has a band that is much too snug for longterm wear. I do wish the straps were closer together, but that's a common problem for me.

The plunge shape doesn't play well with my center-fullness. Immediately after swooping and scooping, the top of the cups looks okay, but over time, my breasts start to slowly spill out towards the middle of the bra. (This issue is likely exacerbated by the insufficient immediate projection.) Because the top of the bra is rather open, this spillage doesn't cause visible quad-boobing, and could actually work nicely for a cleavage-y look in lower cut tops.

In contrast to the center spillage, the top of the cups gape towards the outside. I can see the outline of the top/sides breasts when I look down*. This seems like a clear sign of a shape mismatch, which I believe is due to a number of factors, namely:
a) because there is a very low gore and no center support, the weight of my center-full breasts falls forward, leaving less tissue on the outsides,
b) my breasts are FOB, and this may be a better fit for even or FOT shapes
c) the cups are too wide for me.

In terms of quality and appearance, it visibly appears like your standard molded cup bra. The fabric is smooth, soft, and shiny. The band feels nice and supportive, and the wires are rather firm. It would make a great tshirt bra.

Despite the above described fit issues, my breasts feel firmly secure and surprisingly well supported for a molded cup (probably helped by the too-tight band, which may not be the case for other colorways). Although my tissue shifts towards the center, once they find their resting spot, my breasts definitely aren't going anyway. I think it might be worth trying in another colorway and/or a sister size, since my expectations for the fit of a molded bra are lower than for seamed ones. .

TL;DR: Bra is too shallow, and the plunge style doesn't play nicely with my center fullness. Band might fit in another color, but is too small in black.

*Note: Worth noting that I have a similar problem but to a much worse degree with the Freya Sundance Sweetheart in 34FF, which actually fits me very well. I don't think this gaping is necessarily a predominant fit issue in itself, but rather that it's indicative of other structural fit problems with the bra. With the Sundance, the reason I can see the outline of my breast root so clearly is primarily due me not having as much tissue towards the top and the straps being placed so wide on the cup. However, because the Sundance provides very nice center support, it doesn't cause problems with fit.

Fit information

On Jul 2021 View measurements

Band is much too tight (due to black colorway). Not enough projection at the wire, which makes sense for molded style. Tissue of larger breast slips out towards center, which is typical for plunge styles for me.

Center gore comfort:
Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too low
Strap separation:
Are too far apart
Band fit:
I can fasten it, but it feels too tight
Cup's width:
There is empty fabric on the sides (Cup too wide)
