I have wide, even breasts with tallish roots.

Note: this bra is actually CONVERTIBLE, not entirely strapless! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Yay!! My first fitting strapless!!

When I first put on the bra, I noticed some minor gapping at the top near the center, though this seemed to lessen as I continued to wear. This may have just been a result of minor misshaping from shipping, or perhaps it really would be worth a try for those with more center fullness than average. However, it doesn't create a problem for me. It is better than my 28E - Cleo » Darcy Padded Balconette ... (6821) fits.

The top of the cup follows the slope of my breasts well.

The straps are pretty wide-set, I think; but this also seems to be the nature of the convertible bra. I plan to wear without the straps, so this isn't much of a concern. The points of convertibility are the standard--loops on bra with square S-hooks on the strap ends.

Band seems a little firm on first wear, which is usually good for straplesses, and good for me as a 28-band. There is a silicone line along the top and bottom of band for extra stay-put power!

It is a thin foam padding thing on the inside, very similar to the non-padded, convertible Maidenform bras I used to have.

Overall, this bra is wonderful!! I am so happy it fits, as I honestly didn't expect it to. This is the first Bratabase review on this bra, and I would DEFINITELY encourage anyone similar to my shape/in my size range to try it!

EDIT: First extended wear; bra seemed to have slipped down and underwires were digging into my ribcage. Who knows. Will update later

EDIT 2: I've been meaning to update this for a while. I think the gapping in the center will not soften/go away with wear. I think this bra would be better suited for someone with more center fullness, or perhaps in between sizes. Overall, it is a great bra and I wish that it has worked for me!

This bra is not what I am looking for in a strapless. It feels too FoB for me, or maybe it's just wrong in some other way. I don't get enough lift out of this bra however I love that the wires are narrow enough for me and by the numbers the cups are deep enough for my projection. I wish I could figure out why strapless bras are soo wrong for me... oh well. The saga continues.
