Me: Tall, vertically shallow roots, not narrow. Center full/close set when supported. Soft tissue, relatively even.

This bra: A perfect fit except that the cup cuts in on both sides! It's common for me to have a bra that cuts in on my larger side for a mild quad-boob effect, but unusual that it's both. May be due to my root height or something about the elastic they used on the cup edge. I like the magnetic clasp back piece - it feels like it adds a touch more support. My shoulders are probably about average to slightly on the narrow side relative to my frame and boobs (god, ... isn't trying to objectively say facts about your body relative to the average hard??).

I also love the front-adjusting straps. The straps feel nice, not too stretchy. The interior of the bra has the side sling, plus that same soft mesh-type material on most of the cup and the band is comfortable as well.

Basically a great-looking bra, probably best for people who are about even tissue-wise. Not ideal for tall roots due to the elastic band thing along the edge of the cup. Might also not work for very FoT.

Edit: I'm considering buying this bra again and seeing if it would be a good candidate for removing the elastic on the cup edge (saw this trick on /r/abrathatfits), after checking the overall fit more closely.

About my boobs:
- Soft tissue
- Relatively even
- Roots not particularly wide or narrow, I don't think
- Surprisingly center full when supported
- Underbust doesn't have a lot of "squish" so I go for 30/32 bands
- Learned that I have tall roots

This is the first "bra that fit"... but it's not the shape I'm looking for, and I learned I have tall roots, which I've been wondering about! So that's cool. The cup is very east-west/boobs don't feel centered despite the side sling, and they feel like they're low on my chest as well. However, it's the closest I've gotten to something that's comfortable! The band feels like a nice ... material - but it's also very stretchy, at least in the white colorway I ordered, so the 32E and 32F I bought were too loose in the band. 32E fit pretty much the same in the cup as the 30F, if that's relevant.

I could size down but the cup just barely cuts in on my bigger side, so I think this is the best fit that this bra can give me. I like the materials - wasn't itchy right out of the box like some lacy bras and I felt relatively contained/supported (important for that soft tissue). If you have shorter roots this could be a great bra for you!

Me: 30F/32E. Center full, close set, relatively even when supported, tall-ish roots. Not particularly narrow - average to wide roots. Soft tissue. Shoulders are on the slightly narrow side so some balconettes have straps that are too wide for me.

This bra: Weird. Just... weird. Scuba material made a "faceted" shape instead of smooth. The wires were too narrow and came up too low under the arm. Worked okay for center fullness and close set, though, so may work better for narrower roots.

Not a ton of lift or "centering" but an alright shape, although pretty east-west. Wires are very low on both sides so I can see how people with wide roots might have tissue spilling out on either side. It actually plays nice with my soft tissue - I don't spill out (usually with something wirefree I'd spill into the center). Comfortable, breathable, nice for summer.

Very tall cups left me with a lot of empty space, while also not having enough projection. Probably better for a shallower shape, especially very tall roots or full on top shapes.

Me: center full, relatively even when supported, somewhat projected, average to wide roots.

Me: 30F/32E, now leaning more definitely to 30F as my underbust is about 29". Center full, close set, relatively even when supported, tall-ish roots. Not particularly narrow - I'm guessing pretty average roots. Soft tissue. Shoulders are on the slightly narrow side so some balconettes have straps that are too wide for me.

I could see myself grabbing this bra again for a special occasion but for now it's going back. It gives me some crazy lift and shape and the seams aren't too visible under shirts, but my reoccurring issue of the underwire digging in continues. I have trouble with a feeling of pressure, usually at the deepest ... part of the wire's curve. I think it's partly a projection issue, and in molded cups I think perhaps there just isn't enough support to really lift and hold everything.

Compared to the Freya Deco, I think this bra has narrower cups and more depth at the apex. Overall they might have similar depth but the distribution is different. The Wendy has a very rounded cup. The wires are also notably harder than the Deco - with the Deco you can bend the bra and it will spring back, vs with this one if you bent the wire enough it would stay that way. I like the little bit of support at the wings of the bra - a bit of boning/an additional length of a very soft wire material.

This is an odd bra. The straps are kinda short. There isn't enough room in the outer part of the cup so it smooshes my soft tissue into a weird cone shape, and yet the inner edge of the cup flaps open. Maybe it's built for someone with tall but kind of full roots plus an overall more shallow shape?

My underbust is 28-30" and my bust measures around 35" standing and 36" leaning over. Tall roots, soft tissue with some projection, and average-to-wide roots. This bra seems oddly shallow for the size or just isn't expecting a lot of outer fullness. The lace cup is one piece, not seamed, so that may be part of the problem. The band fits pretty true to size, at least. There's also some side support boning in the band about an inch past the cups that seems to have a soft type of wire/reinforcement in it.

Probably if you have narrow roots and have more center/inner fullness, this bra could work? Idk, man.

Me: Tall roots, relatively even soft tissue, center full/close-set.

In a 30F, this bra had a slight quad boob effect. I sized up to a 30FF and no more quad boob! Since it's a lined cup, any extra room in the cup isn't really visible. At worst I think there's some extra room on the sides.

I measure as a 30F, so compared to the 30F, this bra has taller cups, and more space seems to be added in the top part of the cups. I think I'll try this in a 32E since the band is extra comfortable compared to the 30F.

PS: I also tried the Bravissimo Luna, and I like this bra better because the materials feel sturdier.

Holy seam wrinkling, batman! Dang it. This is a balconette with a nice narrow gore so it was actually semi comfortable, but there was a lot of wrinkling across the seam between the lace and the fabric sections. I'm pretty sure it'd show through a lot of shirts. Not sure if it's a soft tissue thing or due to not being full enough on top. The shape was good overall, relatively round.
