The Little Bra Company calls the Angela bra a "Level 2" padded bra.....this bra has some pretty extreme padding.
I really like how and where the placed the contoured padding/pump pad. I tried to take a picture of it's placement. It's almost as if a thick cookie was placed at the outer corner of the bra, it covers the complete outer side of the bra cup and half the bottom of the bra cup. It's quite effective at pushing the breast in and up. Above this padded portion the cup opens up fairly well to allow the displaced breast to rest, giving the wearer a wealth of cleavage.
Technically speaking ... this bra should've been too narrow for me, but it never felt like it was sitting on my tissue. I didn't get any marks from it either.
The band is too large for me. Even through the stretched measurement was only 28" which is small for a 30. I would have to say that TLBC is correct when saying their bands run about one size smaller that average brands. It also only has one hook per column and three columns. I really did not like how thin the band was, but i can certainly see the allure of a delicate almost invisible band.
The straps are not wide set at all and they come up from the "middle" of the cup. I think this works really well on me and probably most women in this size range. Petite with narrow shoulders? This bra is for you. They carried quite a bit of the weight from my breasts and I had them lengthened as far as they would go.
I would also have to say that they run about one size small in the cup as well, although the design of this bra leaves quite a lot of the breast uncovered. So maybe only a half a cup small. The less coverage a bra is supposed to have, theoretically the less depth it should have. I was pretty much falling out of the bra and when I first got it I was sure there was no way such a small bra would fit me. I wore it with a ribbed tank that hid the obvious quad-boob. I had pretty intense cleavage and a lot of people stared.
I really like the feel of the materials, definitely not luxe and luscious feeling, but comfortably soft and smooth. Would be pretty supportive if you're wearing the correct band size/cup size. A 28D/DD would be ideal for me. I hope TLBC does extend their sizes to include more sizes within the 28 and possibly 30 band. They should mostly be focusing on band sizes 26-30, IMO cups A- at least D if not extending up to E/F. This would truly encompass the petite woman market.
