    Didn't fit

    It takes a bit of effort to get it to fit properly, but the effect of getting good support without underwire is worth it. You need to bend over while putting it on, and once it's fastened you may need to scoop some of the breast tissue into place. The stitching can cause a weird "upside down banana" shape at the bottom because it's squishing the lower half of the breast up to fill the bullet shape, but that just means you need to adjust the breast tissue some more. Another thing to keep in mind about fit is that the fabric is non-stretch, so order up a size. The fabric also makes the bra a little uncomfortable, especially at the back where you might find the straps chafing your shoulder blades. But if you're expecting an everyday comfort bra, you probably wouldn't be looking at bullet bras.

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra secondhand from my model idol and mentor, Anita De Bauch. The bra does not come in cup sizes smaller than B and as it has a "sweatergirl" aesthetic, it requires a bit of breast volume to fill the cups. I had to order the A1077 Bullet Bra Pads from WKD to get a well-shaped pointy look https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Do note that since they make these bras true to their original vintage pattern, stretch is very minimal, so initially the non-stretchiness of the bra band was unusual for me.

    Thinking back, I'm thankful I got this secondhand, instead of settling for a 30B (which I never even knew they offered!) that may end up being too tight for me to wear.

    • How did you measure the depth of this bra? Did you measure all the into the pointy part or did you round it out?

    • LeProfessor Oh man, this was years ago. I think I did not round it out, after all, I've seen some natural torpedo tits fit it.

    • I have been looking at WKD bras for a long time now...their costumer service was very unhelpful at helping me choose a size. I perhaps would choose something a bit less point, but oh man do I love their retro garb! I have always been so unsure of their sizing....

    • LeProfessor I don't think most people fill out the cups anyway, that's why we use a cone pad by WKD or sew one yourself.
