I had to size up in the band to get the right fit. Even though this is a 60 band, it fits more like a 55, which is perfect for me. I’m a little concerned about how it will fit once the band softens and stretches with use, but I don’t like a super tight band so I think it will be fine.
This is my first S cut and I just love how the cups fit me. With lower gores, I tend to spill out even when there’s plenty of depth. The higher gore on this, along with the shape of the cup, means that isn’t an ... issue here.
The straps, of course, are a little wide for me, but not so wide that they're in danger of falling off. I think the problem is that I have pretty boney shoulders and the weight of my breasts tugs at the straps. When the straps are moved in, they rest on muscle and it’s easier to carry the weight. I’ve started getting headaches caused partially by shoulder pain, so I’ve been worrying about strap placement more than usual. I started using strap cushions recently and that definitely helps with discomfort and also prevents the straps from sliding to the edge of my shoulders.
The color of this bra works nicely as a pale nude. The shape looks lovely from the front, but from the side… Holy boobs-on-a-shelf! There’s no gentle sloping, just BAM, boob. Under thin shirts it looks pretty comical, but it’s less noticeable with thicker clothing. I've included a couple of pictures to show what I mean.
