When purchased, this bra fit fairly well but the gore did not lie completely flat against the breastbone although this appeared as if it might be due to wire shape, because pushing the bra flat did not cause bulging on the top. The top scallop also stands away from the breast which makes it sometimes look a little big in the cup, but this is probably due to not much elastic. It is not as nice as the Elomi Cleo.

Within one month of purchase (after about 6 wearings), I noticed that the bra was very uncomfortable and required adjustment several times through the day. ... It felt as if the wire was being twisted within the channel, and the cloth of the channel wasn't lying flat. I also felt as though the wire near the armpit was being pulled out of shape. I would put on the bra, take it off, try to adjust the wire channel, and repeat the process five or more times. Finally I could not endure wearing it any more and retired it.

Note: I am writing this review in January, 2013, several months after the bra was purchased. I have given my initial review and fitting comments based on my notes about the fit of the bra near the time of purchase. Since the bra was purchased, my breasts have grown and the bra no longer fits properly. Below are my comments on the current state of the bra:

I no longer wear this bra.

Pros:

* Full cup bra with leotard back means that straps aren't too wide.
* Fully adjustable straps.
* Seamed cup for support.
* Both seaming and lace are invisible under most fabrics.
* Side support panel sends wide boobs toward the front.
* 3-hook band spreads support over a wider surface area.
* Material is sturdy (i.e., won't stretch out too fast) without feeling "industrial."

Cons:

* Too loose even on tightest hook (though I am finding this a a recurring thing with my measurements, so I cannot fault the bra for this).
* Very wide wires -- beyond the side support panel -- might sacrifice some shape and ... support, even though I fill out the material just fine. (Caveat: I do not find this uncomfortable at all.)
* High sides + full coverage bra = it shows under tops cut lower in the neckline or under the arms. (Caveat: I have totally rocked the bra lace peeking out from under a cami like it belonged there. It was pretty enough to work.)
* I fill out the top of the cup completely but have wrinkling in the bottom. I feel like going down a cup size would result in some serious quadding at the top of the bra. So I think maybe this bra is better for breasts that are fuller on bottom than mine are?
