As a lover of retro aesthetics, I just had to have an overwire bra. I tried the regular bra version first but could only get my hands on a 32E, which was too small. I love the low back on this, for the look of it as well as the versatility under dresses. I don't love the construction of the cups, not because the bullet shape, which I was counting on, but because the top section being equal or maybe even larger to the bottom part on the cup causes a sort of droopy look compared to a more upturned one. I dont even think this would help someone with upper fullness because the angle of the top part still feels pretty closed off. I also wish the cups were built in a way which was more front facing and less splayed. Overall, a unique fun bra which appeals to my desire to look like a pinup.

• I have been curious about overwire bras. Thanks for the review and pics!

• No problem, seemed like a gap in the database to me too. Not even going to set fit because some things aren't relevent, like yeah the gore floats but it's a whole different animal.

• I feel like a set of straps would've changed the game a bit with this bra. Did you get this sized using the +4 method?
  I also feel like it still may be too small. I think the cups were supposed to completely encapsulate the breast and it looks as if it is only coming up about half or three quarters as high as it was supposed to go.
  These sort of bras were designed long ago when they were just trying to hold the breast where it was as opposed to lifting and shaping.
  Not only that but I don't think any women wore this type of bra for support purposes! *wink wink*
  I think maybe you should try out the +4, or maybe even +2 method with this sort of be a and see if it becomes any more aesthetically pleasing. I feel like it might.

• I just feel like part of the whole look of bullet bras is the ridiculous uplift and perky profile, and how at attention your breasts seem. Maybe I could go up a cup size but I doubt that would totally fix how splayed the fit is.
