im incredibly sad this doesn't work, because it has to be one of the prettiest bras, especially for a tan color, and the materials are very comfortable.
Im not sure what the cups are made of but ive never felt anything like it- its smooth on the outside, but soft on the inside, like a silk type material. There are bows on the gore and strap made of a tan striped fabric with white tails, embroidered straps that are so, so soft, and the pattern is a sort of circles/snowflakes/flowers? not really sure how to describe it, its a geometric print but its lovely and subtle. The lace that ... makes up the other half of the cups is sort of scalloped and very soft. for appearances, this gets an A.
The fit is where i am having the most issues. The band for starters is a full size too large, like i suspected it would be. this order i was trying 36 bands since im having issues with 34s in some lines being too small, but i can safely say i should have sized down.
The cups don't lay flat in the lace portion for me, though i fill the cup and in fact seem to be slightly quadboobing in the material section of the larger breast, especially when i pull the band as tight as possible. it isnt terribly obvious, and if everything else was good i would probably band size down and call it a sucess.
the gore on this bra is my main issue- it is MURDER. not jut "this seems a bit pokey", but more like "if i sit still its very uncomfortable, if i bend down or sit down i think it will puncture my sternum." it isn't particularly high compared to bras ive tried before, so i can only guess it may have to do with the under wires as a whole being too narrow. before i scoop all the way, they press horribly on my sides, and once ive situated myself it, it seems my breast tissue wants to go over the under wires on the sides, its hard to explain and picture but ive tried. i think they force the wire a little wider than it's meant to be and they'd probably end up losing once i tried to wear it for real and the wires would pop back to their narrow design and cut in.
i haven't worn it for any period of time because the gore alone is too uncomfortable. i may try exchanging for a band size down and a cup up, but i think the shape of these wires is just wrong for me, they seem too narrow and U-shaped.
