The underwires are SUPER SUPER bendy/stretchy and ended up almost on my back when I put the bra on. I ended up with the frustrating combo of:
- way too much cup room
- back clasped on the smallest hook
- non-tacking gore

and I think that is down to the stretchybendy wires. It was very painful to wear the bra for more than a couple hours.

I put them down on top of a 32JJ Bravissimo Dotty Spot Bra (AU08) that fits almost perfectly (a little bit of extra cup room) and even unstretched, the wires are MUCH wider. I decided, since they were so bendy, to ... reshape them. I made them a good bit narrower and deeper, using the Dotty Spot and fit checks to guide me.

That was a qualified success. The gore now nearly tacks, the wires lie almost where they should, and the bra is comfortable enough to wear all day with no problems/chafing/digging in.

In general, I don't think this is a great bra for small-band/big boob people with narrow roots. Could be good for people with wide roots.
