Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past 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
Band:
* length: fits
* wings: height good
* no axillary skin spillage
* minimizes my rib flair
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
Cup:
* Gives breasts a wide, flat shape.
* Wires wide enough (SO RARE).
* Top of cup smooth
* Bottom of cup filled nicely.
* Cuts into tail of Spence.
Straps:
* not too far apart
* adjust short enough
Appearance Under Clothing:
* Seams visible under thin T-shirt.
* Not visible under V-neck.
* Visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt with movement only (not visible at rest).
Assessment and Plan:
* Gives an undesired wide, flat shape. Cuts into tail of Spence.
* Try a 34D. Reviewed separately. (Spoiler: band too big, still a flat, horizontal oval shape).
* Style too shallow for my shape. Try different styles.
