I'm really disappointed that this didn't fit. I'd been looking forward to it's arrival, but it seems small in the cup. Black bras often seem to. Bra is very pretty. Fabric is not irritating. Does not fit.

Backwards & Upsidedown: Feels fine, so the issue must be the cup size.

Wires: Wires correct width and height.

Gore: Gore lies mostly flat. Can fit fingertip under it. May be slightly too wide and tall, as it is squishing breast tissue, but this is likely caused by the spillage from the cups instead of a true gore issue.

Cups: Bottom wrinkling, top spilling. Cups too small. Just below inframammary fold.

Straps: Strap width is fine, ... placement is fine, adjustment is fine. Band appears to be parallel.

Comfort: If I run my finger under the bottom of the band in front it uncurls part of the fabric. If I do it in back, it leaves my skin hurting. Noticeable quad-boob. Shape is fine, but I feel squished. On for five minutes and has left achy marks. I haven't measured this yet, but I wonder if it was mislabeled.

This bra is not owned any more

This bra is gorgeous. The cute blue bow and the jewel in the center make me want to keep it, but unfortunately, it's wires are too wide, ti doesn't have enough projection, and the straps are too wide.

Wires: Too wide. Seem the right height, no pain after short term wear.

Gore: Flat but does not tack. Maybe slighty too wide, not painful. Height seems fine.

Cups: Not seeing wrinkling. Gaping where the straps meet the band and between my IF and the underwires. I adjusted it into the IF seconds ago and can feel it slipping as I write this.

Straps: Straps are too wide, but completely adjustable. Band appears parallel to floor.

Comfort: Underwire causes minor pressure pain after short term wear. With a Cleo Lily to compare too, I realize this is definitely due to projection issues. The 30GG Cleo Lily gapes, this has slight quadding on my larger boob.

Wires: Wires extend past breast tissue on sides. The top is poke-y but it's into my side, I think the channel doesn't have enough padding. Seems about the right height.

Gore: 100% flat, but doesn't feel like it's suctioned to my chest, so it's an improvement. Wires seem to be slightly sitting on breast tissue, but doesn't hurt (yet?).

Cups: No wrinkling. Gaping at top. If I force the wires into my inframammary fold, the gaping is extensive. If it slips down like it wants to, the gaping is minimal but still exists. No spillage, it feels a lot like a hand-bra.

Straps & Band: Straps feel too wide. The ... right one wants to slide down to my shoulder. Completely adjustable. Band seems parallel.

Comfort: Aside from the extensive gaping (which isn't visible under a shirt due to underwire slippage, which I think is from lack of projection at the wire) it seems ok. I can deal with minimal gaping. My boobs are super-liquidy in this, but again, I'll survive. It feels fairly supportive and the shape is fine. Unlike most of the other bras, even the ones that didn't fit so well, this one makes me strangely uncomfortable. it might be because of the straps, or because I'm not used to the position it takes.
