Although this bra comes in the size I was fitted into when I bought it, it doesn't feel sturdy enough to really support my breasts properly. The straps are too thin, and the style and shape of the cups doesn't work well with my shape. I wouldn't recommend this to others with similar measurements and shape.

My all time favorite bra. Fit so well. Now I don't fit into their line, but hopefully theyll add more sizes soon??? Who knows. Maybe I'll email the company and ask.

So, these bras are 100% made for people with shallow projection. Im usually either a 30D or 30DD based on brand, and while the D squishes my boobs and gets super uncomfortable, the DD is only moderately better in that sense and gapes at the top as well. Bruised my sternum too unless I bent the wires outward.
Wore them regularly for a good while before I grew more tho, and they lasted me literal years of use before even getting to the third hook. So if they fit and you stay the same size, they'll last.
Overall I can't recommend them to anyone with my size and shape, but they're probably OK for anyone shallower.

This bra was my favorite for ages, it’s perfect for wide-set shallow shapes. It has very little immediate projection, so if you need projection at the wire it likely won’t be a good fit.

This bra initially seemed like it fit, but unfortunately the band is just too big for me and the cups are too small. It seemed workable at first, but it looks like Natori doesn’t make this bra in a shape and size that would fit me anymore.

This bra is theoretically identical to one I have in another colorway (passionfruit) but runs noticeably smaller in the cups. As a result, this one causes slight quadding where the other fit perfectly.

In my experience, Natori makes really comfortable bras for smaller cup sizes, but the bras lack in support and shaping. Every Natori bra I've tried has a very stretchy band, cups that run on the shallow side, and give a very "natural" shape. This makes it a great option for those who prioritize comfort, but you'll have to sacrifice the support you get from a truly well-fitting bra.
The Feathers Contour Plunge is a popular style that for some reason never appealed to me before, but I noticed a friend wearing this as a maternity bra and thought maybe it would be a good comfort option for ... me as it's truly lightly lined. I haven't had success with unlined Natori bras so far since their stretch lace is so overly stretchy they provide no support, and I don't really like molded cups, so I was intrigued.
I started with a 30D and found that the cups are too shallow for me, flattening me out entirely. The 30DD is a better depth for me, but there's too much empty space in the upper cup, and the sides of the cup by the armpit come up too high on me. The empty portion of the cup is very visible when I move, and I can see the foam lining collapse on itself. In addition, while the band measures small, it is definitely very stretchy as the wings are made of stretch lace, and I feel it provides very little support.
On the positive side, I do find this bra extremely comfortable, and I would definitely like to wear a style like this while traveling. It sits nicely under clothing, and the true deep plunge makes it perfect under tops where my balconnettes don't work.
I would recommend this bra for small cup sizes that are wide and shallow, for people who don't need much support and would be fine with a flimsy band. Due to the plunge cut, it should work for different root shapes. I would not recommend this for breasts that need a lot of lifting or are extremely wide set and east-west, as the plunge cut could make you look really empty in the middle.

I ordered a 30D because I've found in my experience that the 30C is far too small for me when fully scooped. However, I was really surprised to find that these cups are also quite shallow and the 30D is also too small when fully scooped; however due to the increased width of the cup, it just flattens all my tissue out and gives me a pancake effect. I also tried 30DD and found that while the depth of the cup is better, there's too much empty space in the upper cup, and the sides of the cup by the armpit come up too high on me. In addition, while the band measures small, it is definitely very stretchy as the wings are made of stretch lace, and I feel it provides very little support.

If I raise this high enough to be in my imf, the upper fabric is literally in my armpit. Not recommended for short-statured people.

ABOUT THIS BRA
This is a molded, lightly lined plunge bra with top stretch lace.
Purchasing:
* $68 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns
* Not available with Amazon Wardrobe.
* Available in black, white, four shades of beige (including the purchased shade “Cosmetic”), and navy. (Other sizes have more color options.)
Construction of band, straps, and cups identical to 32DDD - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge Bra (730023).
ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* wide roots (extend to the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root ... height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FoB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)
FIT DETAILS
Band:
* length: back rides up AND top is ever looser (so outer end of wire is unsupported)
* wings: height good, smooth line
Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.
Straps:
* Too far apart, slip.
* Adjust short enough.
Cups:
* Wire sits on axillary breast tissue.
* Breast pushes wimpy wire away (gap at tip of wire).
* Top of cup: smooth line BUT too short, nipple escapes when bending over
* Bottom of cup: major wrinkles (not enough immediate projection at wire) – contour foam scrunches into the gap AND ire pushed down to find more cup depth
* Cup apex: breasts are moving to the center to find more space
* Side view: flat (minimized), rounded
* Front view: wide (east-west)
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence.
Appearance Under Clothing:
* Under a thin tee-shirt, the lace-mesh seam is visible.
* Boat-neck does NOT reveal bra.
* Sleeveless shirt shows straps at shoulders and band/wing in armhole.
ASSESSMENT & PLAN
* 32G (this size): band too big, cups small (narrow & shallow)
* 32DDD (-1 cup size, brand uses US sizing): band fits (probably d/t boob taking up part of band), cups small (narrow & shallow)
* Considered trying a 30-band, but that wouldn’t solve all the other fit problems caused by shallow, molded cups.
