From bottom of wires up: ~13 cm sides, 9 cm gore.

Wearing this longline really cemented why I (and probably others) can’t wear longlines. At least not longlines with no elastic at the wire.

First, to contextualize, I have a short waist and either an A or straight | | shape. That means that my narrowest point is right under my breasts. In order to anchor the band to my body, I need my bra to grip right there: if it’s gripping lower or higher, it’s not holding the wires to my body.

What happens with these bras is, the band is narrower further ... down and wider at my usual band line. The band therefore doesn’t pull the wires against my body, allowing the weight of my breasts to pull the whole thing out and down. I experienced the same thing with my 44K - Wellfitting » Liftsational Longline Plunge. What’s interesting is, it can make it look like the cups are too shallow at the bottom and that’s why they are falling- but that can’t be the case because the exact same bra cut in a regular band is not shallow at the bottom at all. In reality, it’s the longline band not allowing the wires to be sprung against the body.

I could therefore not judge the fit of this bra.

Appearance-wise it was very pretty. The quality of fabric and finishing was not as good as the 40JJ - Curvy Kate » Charm Babydoll (SG5207).

This is a padded plunge, with Curvy Kate’s standard padded plunge cups.
