This review and measurements are for the "Magic Wire" version of this bra. It is a molded cup, full coverage bra with a nearly invisible wire that is heavily padded (approaching a push-up bra). In fact, it was tough to measure this bra because the wire is so hard to find. Wires end very quickly upon entering the gore. The "flexible silicone wire" is so flexible that it provides zero support. This caused the top of the gore to float and the wings to stick out at an odd angle (did not sit flat against the skin). Returned quickly.

Fit:
* Strap separation: ... fine
* Straps adjust short enough: yes
* Band length: good (However, elastic is only at the bottom of the band. Inadequate support along the top edge of the band.)
* Gore fit: Comfy, spaced well, top floats due to design issues.

* Cup fit: TERRIBLE. The combination of a worthless wire and stretchy band with no wing support caused the weight of the axillary breast tissue to push the wings out at an odd angle. This caused the gore to float with lateral gapping and medial quadding. Most bras gently push on the breast tissue. (I dare say that is a bra's function in life.) For this bra, the breast moves the bra. The cup tries to resist (since it is so thickly molded) but can't without assistance from the underwire and band. Hilarity ensues. (And a seriously fugly shape.)

* Band Height: borderline too short (tiny axillary skin spillage)
* Wire length: The wire is length is moot (it is too flimsy and padded to be offensive). However, the bra still pokes my armpit. There is a vertical side seam (maybe even boning) in the wing (presumably to add support; spoiler: it doesn't). This sucker pokes. This bra is marketed towards those that find underwires uncomfortable. Why heavily pad a flimsy underwire then make the side boning poke? Why o' why? (I am petite, so it's not uncommon for a long underwire to poke me in the armpit with movement.)

* Cup width: Ample. Since the breast tissue pushes the top of the band and underwire away from the body, there is oodles of space. Is this spillage? Gappage? A pocket for valuables? (Note: Don't put anything too valuable in there. It will fall out (along with your breast tissue) the first time you raise your arm.)

Pro: Looks great on the hanger.

This is a lightly lined, half-cup lace bra with wide-set straps.

Fit Details:
* Strap separation: slightly too wide
* Straps adjust short enough: barely (Strongly suspect that they wouldn't adjust short enough as the elastic relaxes.)
* Band length: good
* Band Height: great
* Cup fit: BAD. Wide-set, triangular cups that barely covered the nipple. This shape would be good for wide-set breasts with nipples point out to the sides, but NOT my wide-set breasts that point forward. Nipples popped out during scoop & sweep. I could tuck them back in, but am afraid they would escape with activity. Cup smooth along top line (really the ... middle edge of the cup since the "top" line is nearly vertical). Bottom filled nicely. Didn't shape breasts, just covered them.
* Gore fit: Good
* Wire length: GREAT (This is a tough one for me. I need long wires for wide-set breast tissue but am petite so many long wires poke into the armpit.)
* Cup width: GOOD. Wider than most. (Most cups aren't wide enough.)

Misc:
* Itchy band.
* Covered breasts without providing shape, support, nor projection. This was the deal breaker. Returned.

This bra fits okay in the band, since Triumph 34 runs small. However, when I swoop and scoop properly I get slight quad-boob. It is nice and smooth under most shirts until I do that. Very pretty.

I discovered to be a 34 E so it is a little too small in the cups and a little bit too large in the band.
It's a nice looking bra.
