Finally found one! In a size that matches! 4.75" wide wires are the narrowest things on the actual planet! Swapped them for my old #42 wires which it tolerates ok.

Unlike Black Orchid's vintage conical styling, Dorothy is fairly rounded & center-full friendly. However not so very much. Which one one hand works well for my depth needs, but at the cost of squashing my otherwise round but not large, inner breast flat as the perimeter pulls tightly from larger outer breast tugging entire cup ... over. So center and inner to gore goes completely flat.

This is in keeping with the brands' overall 'smaller very full breast' patterning which is getting me by, till we eventually stumble upon 'huge full root/short breast, with all side and bottom projection and tons of immediate depth, and a minimizer center with no conical angling'.

Alas. We are not there yet. So Dorothy becomes part of the rotation despite being too small by the numbers.
