    Josephine feels like what Comexim's Sirene was intended to be. I just... wow. Yes.

    She do run deep, deep. Depth is perfect for my FOB shape but also quite tall on me. However, from the tall narrow thin underwire shape and the very round projected shape this gives, would place it closer to best for close set omega and even/apex full shapes than 'run of the mill ... runs large for their size' people.
    Gore is tall but the extended overlap is real. Compared to other styles in this brand, this one is a pretty straight forward, simple lightweight balconette with a well-chosen embroidery specifically to reinforce the slight structure and support such an airy fabric affords. Cups project forawrd with a slight angle inward, allowing breasts to remain lifted aloft without squishing them out of the cup.
    Straps are lightweight but strong, wide multi-layered elastic which connectes to a sensible deeply rounded armscye which does not stretch at all; band is a medium-heavy weight micro-knit, with a narrow bone insert placed at the edge of where a wing should have been.
    As always thin little eye hook strip with dinky lil sundries bound to both feel lovely and light but also eventually slip and twist, even with the tight stitching tethering them down. For this model alone, it Will become a relevant issue...

    That there is no wing at all, yet Josephine includes a weird little bendy straw sewn with microscopic precision into the band makes my brain itch. (INCOMING RANT)
    What... Why? Just, everyone, you know what? Stop. We don't putfoundational architecture detached from any relavant connective features in random places for no reason whatsoever.
    All this piece of plastic serves is to 1) poke and stab into one's sides, because 2) without ANY stable materials sewn alongside the cup as part of the FRAME, there entire band will flex and twist under the weight of the bust alone, god forbid one move their arms. We're absolutely not going to discuss how the wire will spring back whenever one bends forward or lifts their arms, pulling boob into the band and then snapping back over. Maybe everyone will not be swooping for their life all the damn day, but the scene has been set and we've all been here before -_-

    For over $200 I fucking EXPECT basic parts & not have to second guess what the hell is going on.

    Does she fit?

    HAH. Like a glove.

    Is a bitch dumbfounded.

    Dear lord, YES.

    Am I going to *&@#ing sew this correctly just so it can work as intended.

    Grrrrrl stay tuned. I am not even able to think about it right now
