    ABOUT THIS BRA
    This is a seamless, unpadded, full-cup, underwire NURSING bra.

    Purchasing:
    * Purchased while ~8 months pregnant guessing at my post-partum size. Guessed wrong so tried on but never wore.

    Band:
    * One layer of smooth stretch mesh.
    * Wing support: seaming.
    * Full band - band is straight beneath wires.
    * Back close with 4 columns of hooks (yes, 4).

    Straps:
    * smooth elastic
    * soft (don’t stand up on their own)
    * full adjust
    * leotard back
    * single position nursing clasp - side squeeze style

    Cups:
    * seamless full cup (nearly a full cup, straps are just outside of apex)
    * Inner support is a single circle (donut shaped) with a seam below the apex (not just the ... usual strap of elastic).
    * unpadded, soft underwire
    * Inner top edge of cup is edged with stretchy seaming. Outer cup edge is elastic that continues to top of band.
    * Both inner and outer cups are contructed of a single layer of non-stretch, opaque knit.
    * Soft, barely molded cups (no foam).
    * Drop cup nursing access.


    ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
    * average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
    * average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
    * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
    * even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
    * short root height, average vertical placement
    * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
    * conical shape (but will squish to round)
    * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FoB due to short roots and soft tissue
    * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
    * front (anterior) rib flares (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)


    FIT DETAILS
    Note: This is how it currently fits me. I don’t remember how it fitted post-partum, just that it didn’t fit.

    Band:
    * length: band rides up
    * wings: height good, smooth line

    Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

    Straps:
    * Feel wide-set but don’t slip with movement.
    * Adjust short enough.

    Cups:
    * Wire sits on axillary breast tissue.
    * Top of cup: wrinkles or gaps (expects more upper fullness)
    * Bottom of cup: wrinkles or gaps (not enough immediate projection at wire). Wire pushed down to find more cup depth.
    * Cup apex: fits (not too deep, too shallow, nor off-center)
    * Give a round, projected shape.


    Assessment & Plan:
    * Didn’t fit when nursing and never returned, probably due to new parent exhausion.
    * Have weaned last child so no longer need. SELL.
