For reference, I have short, narrow-ish roots, with even fullness and very firm self-supporting projected tissue (augmented). I found this bra during my hunt for a molded t-shirt bra, but none of them had enough immediate projection without being way too wide in the cups with wires extending far past my tissue into my rib cage. The one exception is the Panache Cari, which does fit pretty well and has good immediate projection, but is also only available in neutrals, and wouldn't be suitable for a lower cut or skimpy top. So at this point, I decided to try a Polish bra as I've read so much about ... their great projection on reddit, and figured I could use it to help identify a better t-shirt bra if nothing else. I saw the Nina on Breakout bras and followed their recommendation to size up one cup for a slight cleavage boost (32FF -> 32G). When I tried it on, the immediate projection bra spirits rejoiced, as did my boobs. The cups are very supportive and do indeed give a nice uplift, and the wire actually follows the edge of my breast almost perfectly. The gore is very narrow (good because my breasts have no "give" in the middle), and the straps are thick and supportive. I will say it's not a perfect technical fit; the gore doesn't tack, the band is a bit stiff (that was expected), and the straps are also on the tighter side and wide set. I'm not surprised the gore doesn't tack as this is a cup size too small, and while I don't mind the strap width, if you have narrow shoulders this would not work for you at all. The best part is, is that even when I tried this on with one of my thinner shirts, the lace edging was barely visible, much less so than I was expecting. Overall I was very pleased and immediately went on Breakout bras and purchased another bra in the same style but different fabric, and sized up one more cup for a better technical fit for daily wear (32GG).
