I thought this was a shape mismatch and I needed more immediate projection, but this is actually a great example of a bra that is 1-2 sizes too big! (It might be a shape mismatch also, but this is definitely too big despite acting too small. Notice the wire sitting way too low on me. This makes the bra act too small and shallow despite actually being too big. This is very, very common with large breasts and can make it confusing to find a fitting bra. It’s basically just a boob hat! I wish I’d listened to advice I got on this fit help request about trying it in smaller sizes with an extender!
The two things I love about this bra are its softness and the low wing height! The white colorway was perhaps a bit boring, but quite comfortable. The gore wouldn't quite tack on me, so I would need to go up a cup size. Maybe I could go down a band size, too, to see if that helps keep it up in the IMF. The shape is not great - too east-west with not enough side support for my outer heaviness.
I purchased this bra online from the @figleaves UK store as I needed a new bra quickly (my weight fluctuates often) and didn't want to wait a month for my usual Ewa Michalak order. I think it's quite pointy, and the wires are too wide for me - ending behind my arms if they are resting at my side. The center gore doesn't sit quite flat, but this is likely due to my uneven sized breasts ( as buying a larger size to fit the larger breast the cup on the smaller breast is too loose and it's only gaping a little. Fairly comfortable and the fabric is quite soft and the cobalt (blue) colour is quite pretty.
Sturdy construction and fabric. Extremely cute pattern. Fit is good and bad. Wrinkling on outer edge of cup but also feels like the wire is sitting on breast tissue? The part of the cup and strap that's in the armpit area is not digging in super bad only a little which is better than most bras for me. I really, truly, deeply hate how high this cup goes. When I'm standing it covers literally anything that could possibly be considered breast tissue, when sitting either fat or some breast tissue pokes out the top, it just is so high up. At first when wearing it, it was giving ...me sensory issues with how high it was, I know that sounds weird but it just kept distracting me with the sensation.
Also it really pushes my breasts apart. I don't want butt cleavage but my breasts are close set. As I sit here writing this after I've taken it off, leaning forward in just a tank top my breast roots are milimeters apart, sitting like this the red lines from where the gore of this bra sat are now facing each other because there is one mark on each breast though I don't think it hurt while wearing.

The cups are soft and comfortable, almost feels like nothings there. I don’t like the shape - too pointy. Top of the slanted cups edge is a stretchy lace. It cuts into my breast tissue. What I think is the “side support system” gives a weird shape to the sides of my boobs. Like there’s a seam running down the side warping my tissue, but not pushing the shape in, I’m still filling out beyond my arms.
