Very short-waisted, center full, close set, somewhat narrow, immediately projected, shallow apex projection,...

Wacoal La Femme 32H fits me best. This Subtle Sensuality is 2 sizes smaller. I'm certain a larger size would fit well. As it is, the narrow cup forces my center -full tissue too close together for the design of the cup.

This was a purchase shrouded in optimism. Reality is not so rosey....especially bra purchases https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> For reference, this review is for US size 32DDD which is equivalent to UK 32E.

The band material is super soft, stretchy microfiber, and it feels big. This Wacoal model runs "true to size" rather ... ran smaller than size. The band stretches to 32". For this reason, I'm not inclined to purchase a 34: the band is too stretchy to provide the support I need on my 28" underbust. Interestingly, two models recently released by Wacoal run "true to size." I hope this is not a trend https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

The wires bite into my ribs. It feels like my breasts are pushing the cup forward and down. Judging from the floating gore, this is true. I can wear tilted gores for five minutes before my body passionately objects. This cup is 1-2 sizes too small. Much of this particular fit issue may be remedied by a 32G/H, which they don't manufacture in this model.

The gore is low and narrow. And, the cup offers better than average space for center fullness. Because of the gore design, a few stitches and two minutes would make this a very narrow gore. Awesome feature.

The straps are narrow, fully adjustable, and convertible via j-hook. These straps are very similar to the, relatively, narrow How Perfect Wireless bra straps. Still, the straps are supportive, but I appreciate the security of more robust straps.

Overall, a great t-shirt bra with a very low, narrow gore. Cup accommodates average apex projection, average width, and better than average center fullness. Super soft materials, sufficient padding for prominent nipples, and thin enough padding that it feels lined rather than heavily padded.

If this were scaled for a petite body, it would be the one wired bra I can tolerate for more than 30 minutes.

*Wire is wide enough (6.7") to avoid poking my underarm breast tissue. What an amazing feeling!
*Gore is remarkably low (1.2")
*Lower gore is remarkably narrow (1.2")
*Straps are wide and comfortable
*Band is soft, supportive, and wide
*Padding is sufficient for hiding prominent nipples
*Molded cup tolerates center projection and better-than-most immediate projection

Perhaps, if Wacoal would create this bra for a 28 or 30 band, the scaling would work in my favor. But, the 34 scaling is simply too tall for my very short-waisted frame.

A plunge convertible bra that has the J hook to make it a racerback. Wide wires, tall open cups, which are padded with graduated thickness. Soft fabric, very comfortable!

- How does this fit compared with Lace Affair Contour and/or La Femme? An Amazon review mentions the cup runs large....
- 1
  
  For a while, I found the Lace Affair to gape when I moved around in it. Then as tissue seemed to migrate that is no longer an issue.
  So...that being said, the La Femme has a similar wire as the Lace Affair, but more open cup. (Also not as soft.) The Subtle Sensuality has wider wires and similar openness to La Femme.
  Subtle Sensuality would be the widest and more open of the three.
- Perhaps I could size down with the wider wire in Subtle Sensuality. It looks like the gore would easily narrow which is a grand characteristic for me!
- Yes, you could definitely try that. Personally, I was not loving it enough to do any alterations. It felt like me conforming to it, rather than it conforming to me. It did seem to be quite comfortable though; not stiff like the LaFemme.
