Primula

This came from Bra obsessed.
It has a lowered gore and overlapped wires.
It is padded and has cookie pockets with cookies. Straps are nice and firm.
Lovely appearance. Under a not too tight t-shirt I could see the lace and the shape was slightly pointy.
I think that may be because I felt that if I could fold out about an inch on the horizontal seam the cup would fit better and give a more rounded shape.


This is the first Ewa plunge I've tried . Breast tissue under arm won't stay in cup when I swoop and scoop. Wonder if I need taller wires to contain that tissue. It's kind of loose tissue under the arm.
While these lower gores are really what I need for my touching breasts, they make me feel a little insecure with so much center fullness.
Wires are certainly a lot more comfortable than in the Cleo bras I've tried.

I ordered this to see if it might work as a
T-shirt bra since I can't wear a T-shirt bra because they don't have enough immediate projection
Cups on this seem to run smaller than a Rosa Faia twin. I normally wear a 28GG in UK sizing . 30G cups were too small.

Fit was a horrible failure for me, cups too small and too wide. Gore was too wide
Band I think is TTS. I was more comfortable fastening it on the innermost hook.

short roots, very center full. functionally full on bottom. The bra doesn't come in my usual size of 28GG .
Good sale so I thought I would try it in the 30G. Band is okay. Seems pretty firm and like it won't stretch out too fast.
I fill the cups well and get very good lift. The two issues I have with it is that it comes up too high under my arms and
the top of the gore is too wide and cuts into the of my breasts, so that I have a muffin top over the gore.
Excellent on immediate projects and should be pretty good for most center full breasts. On me though , one wire sits
slightly on one breast. about 2/3s of my breast tissue is from the nipple to the center.

I really like this bra. It has an understated classic look.

I notice in the pictures that it looks like it fits better than it does IRL. The cups feel too small and won't contain underarm tissue which is very loose and kind of floppy.
I swoop and scoop and it won't stay in the cup under the arm.
Perhaps I need longer wires? Not sure.
The reduced gore and overlapping wires are definitely an improvement over a standard gore for me since I have touching breasts. But not sure if I could improve the situation with a narrowed gore too.
The lowered gore makes me feel kind of insecure with my center heavy breasts. Not sure
what the solution is. Perhaps in a larger cup I would feel more secure with this lower gore?

What a beautiful bra. Sadly it is too small. There is not enough immediate projection or center fullness.
I don't know if sizing up a cup or two would help that.

I have touching breasts and you can see how on one picture that
the gore rests on breast tissue. Again, perhaps a larger cup size would help that.
Gores are a problem in all bras I've tried. I guess it is time to order narrowed gore or overlapping wires.
In this size
The band runs small for a 60 and I need 1.5 " extension. For reference, I'm able to wear a 28GG Cleo without
an extension.

I'm still searching for the perfect fit in a bra. This bra is too big around and too small in the cups. It probably doesn't have enough immediate projection. when I sit down, the bones ride down and then the back rides up. Fastening it on the tightest hook doesn't really help the problem . Gore kind of digs in.
I think if I could find the right size, it would hold my very dense breasts well., A fairly smooth look under clothing. Seams might show too much in a light colored t shirt, but in a dark one, they are passable. I've also tried this in a 30G, 30F and 32E and 28G (see pictures in mint color and review)

I am short ( 5-1/2) and am short waisted and this bra is not uncomfortable under the arms

I found this on clearance. It is still more than I like to pay thoughhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Cups are very narrow and deep with a lot of room for center projection and very good immediate projection. There seems to be a slightly pointed area at the center apex.

I think the band probably runs true, or maybe slightly small.

Even though the gore is a little too tall for me, it lays flat and is not uncomfortable , I think because finally I have enough center projection . You can see on the picture that the wire on one ... side is very slightly on my one breast but not uncomfortable at all. I usually sew the wires together from the back side because I have touching boobs. On this bra I could narrow the gore at the top by 1/4" by doing that and I don't think it would then be on either.

This is supposed to be a Demi bra, but on me because I'm so short rooted, it is like a full coverage bra.
I normally wear a 28 but this 30 isn't too bad. It didn't seem to ride up on the loosest hook. I don't know if that is because it has enough center projection and immediate projection. Normally a 30 band this size would be riding up on me in the back and the wires slipping out of my IMF.
However, I could also wear it on the innermost hook without being uncomfortable. So I do worry about it getting too big as it gets older. I wish this brand came in a 28.
The wires are nicely padded so it is very comfortable, the most comfortable bra I've tried.
Even though the wires are really really narrow, I still have the same wrinkling at the side of the cup under the arms that I have in every single bra I've tried. I think it could be because most of my breast tissue is to the center and not to the side.
I can get rid of it by lifting the cup where the strap meets the cup.

This is my second try on this bra. The gore is a soft tack. I have touching breasts.
The very narrow cup width follows my breast root perfectly.This is a first for me .
I believe this cut has reduced cups, gore and straps moved in 2cm.
l have a small amount of gaping on my smaller breast. The larger fits well. I'm not that crazy about my already overly full center breasts being pushed even more toward the center. Since taking the pictures, I've lowered the strap about 1/2 inch on my larger breast and that keeps it from pushing against my smaller breast and gives better symmetry.
Band is very small, fits more like a 28.
For comparison, in a Cleo bra I wear a 28GG or a 30G.

short roots, functionally bottom full, very center full and I need a ton of immediate projection.
Cups on Empreinte run big, so order cup size smaller.
This brand makes the best fitting bras for me. Great immediate projection and good accomodation of my
center full breasts. The very narrow cups really work for me.
But, they are just too expensive to be practical unless I find a bargain.
I normally wear a 28GG in Cleo or a 30G. Empreinte starts in 30 and that works fine when new. Eventually
though I have to take in the band but I don't mind since they are so comfortable.
Great lift and shape in this bra. Probably not quite as round though as a Cleo.

I tried this bra in my normal Cleo size of 28GG and this 28H to see if a larger cup might work
better for my center fullness. This cup was too big on me and this larger size did not improve the
tacking issue I have with my touching center full breasts.
