i'm reluctant to try freya due to the deco plunge's reputation for narrow wires. i kind of liked the molded halfcup, but i didn't want pushup padding. however, the marvel is not as narrow, and has been known to work for some shallow-breasted people.

it didn't work for me. the cup is a little too projected and fot for my boobs. i filled out the bottom but there was no lift to my shape, and there was wrinkling on the top edge of the cup. the wires were incredibly hard and painful, especially at the gore. i've worn this a couple of times, trying to justify these issues, ... but the pain is too much. bra pain is commonplace, but i have to remember that it's unacceptable.

side ramble: it's funny how despite being bravangelized i still have a tendency to ignore fit issues. when trying on a new bra i hope that it's the end of my search. as i raise my standards of bra fit, i've realized that bras i had marked as "fit" years ago definitely don't fit. the wires were too narrow, the gores were too high, the bands were too loose, but i tried to make it work anyway despite feeling uncomfortable. i'm struggling to accept that the average person tries on 25 different bras before finding the right one. i'm not giving up, but sometimes i just really want to.

my
shape: even, slightly conical, slightly shallow
placement: slightly wide roots, average-set

band was too loose, but the cups felt okay. i didn't want to keep it though. the design felt quite plain and boring, even for me who prefers basic molded bras. the uneven gaping along the top of the cup made the bra feel quite cheap despite the price.

I am moderately shallow and full on bottom, with tall, average width roots. I have some bottom projection that makes some bras that are typically recommended for shallow-breasted people too shallow in the bottom and too open on top for me. Of course, the average projection bras are often too projected and too closed on top for me. The Lily falls into the latter category. It feels really nice to have all of that bottom projection but I just don't have the center projection or upper fullness for this bra.

edit: so after properly swooping and scooping... i quad a little bit out of this one. the cup is also too narrow for me. i found that the wires aren't very firm, and don't tack onto my body as well as they used to. this may also be caused by how much the band has stretched. this would have been perfect in a 28E but this is practically sold out everywhere... back to the drawing board.

original review: this is my best fitting bra. i find that most of the shallow-friendly bras i've tried are slightly too open on top for me due to my short roots. this one is slightly different than the continuity pinstripe (beige, black, raspberry, teal) maddie in that the print version (pop, karen, bravissimo floral, spot) is wider and more closed on top, which is perfect for my shape. the material of the print version is softer and lighter as well. unfortunately i've worn this bra to death and the band is stretching quite a bit; i'm already on the tightest hooks.

I am moderately shallow and full on bottom, with tall, average width roots. I have some bottom projection that makes some bras that are typically recommended for shallow-breasted people too shallow in the bottom and too open on top for me. Of course, the average projection bras are often too projected and too closed on top for me. This Juna has enough bottom projection and is closed enough on top to strike a really good balance.

That said... I need a different bra. The seam in the middle is just too annoying - not only does it show under shirts, some damage or defect has caused it to ... become bumpy and warped. And the lace (ignored when determining fit) sticks up and out very badly. Furthermore the gore is a smidge too high - but I can get over it as long as I maintain a decent posture. I think this 28 band is true-to-size but as someone who needs a 26 band, I wear this on the tightest hooks.

Fixing the band and lace with sewing will be easy, but I'm not sure what to do with that warped seam!...

my shape: even/slightly fob, shallow, wide root, close set.
my first time ordering a non-bra-matrix bra that's not 3 band sizes too big. the gore tacks and the band doesn't ride up.

unfortunately that's about all the positives. this bra definitely did not suit my shape - there was so much empty space in the cup's bottom and center, and the top of the cup cut me off. definitely too fob and projected for me.

also the wires were so uncomfortable for my ribcage. which is interesting, because other reviews say that the wires are super comfortable for them. i think the small cup size is exacerbating the pain that the wires cause me.

thank you Seraphia for sending this over!

the wires are wide enough!!!??? the cups are shallow enough??? this may be due to its preowned state, but the bra is so soft and comfy. the wires are wide enough and supportive, but don't dig. the shape it gives me is so uplifted and round. this bra is perfection. except the cups are one size too small. but i can tell that this model would really work on me in a 60E. guess what i'm ordering from onlyher like ASAP.

there's a defect with these- there's extra material in the gore panel that keeps the underwires from fully tacking.

even though I'm closer to a 26E than a 30D, the longline does its job. plus it's beautiful.

i wear a 28D and am moderately shallow, slightly conical, and slightly wide. i am average set and even.

i was an orange in a glass. the shape of this bikini cuts into me so badly it's laughable. too small and wrinkly at the same time.

this is some strange hand me down from my mom - no tags no labels or anything. didn't fit at all: straps didn't adjust long enough so the tight band kept riding up and cutting my tissue off.
