So sad, not the right shape or size. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Cups too closed on top, projection slightly too shallow at the base, wires too wide, band too snug. I'm currently teetering between 28 and 30 bands, and this maxes at 29 inches and that is stretching hard.
The wires are probably being pulled too tightly, and being very firm, the top end HURTS under my arms. The top edge of the cups could probably be stretched out to be more open, but even if I tried a 30E, I still think the wires would be too wide. Shape is not quite right. I'll have ... to return it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> At least Breakout Bras gives free returns, but it is SO SAD because I've waited and anticipated this bra for soooo long. It's so pretty!! Not quite the dusky lavender-taupe shade I was expecting from all show and product pictures, but still fabulous.
The shape has a lot of center and inner projection, but not extremely deep at the wire, and about average on upper edge. Too closed for me, but I've read too open for others.
The worst part... Panache just CANNOT figure out the back!!! Those straps are WAY too wide for narrow and/or sloped shoulders!! I had to tighten them uncomfortably and kept sliding them up towards my neck to make me feel like they wouldn't fall off.
Another bra just to add to the database, but didn't work out. :'(

Returned 10/10/2017.

Starting Notes
This is the first of 6 reviews I will do on a Polish bra haul! Wohoo!! My New Years resolution was to not let hesitation or fear stop me from doing things, and buying bras is a weak spot for me. I'm constantly afraid of losing money, which means I never try new things and usually just buy bras listed, or buy deeply discounted off of Brastop. I've wanted to really try Polish bras for YEARS, and what happiness did worry and hesitation bring me??? None!! SO, despite a few mild spouts of panic, and lots of process of elimination, I took a risk and ordered... SIX ... bras at once!!! I ordered from OtherEden, and got them for I feel like a steal. I spend about 145 USD, so like $24 a bra, PLUS free shipping, AND the promise of easy US returns if needed. So... I took the plunge!! And luckily was happily rewarded. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Now I need to hurry and see if I can get matching panties!! Anyway... On to the bra review!

Wires
I was extremely worried with how absolutely narrow the underwires are, but... Somehow... It works?? The marks left on my skin indicate that no underwire is sitting ony breast tissue, but it feels tight (underwires are hard!!) and my boobs appear to be exploding near the underwire. Might try this with slightly wider underwires (didn't think I'd ever say that!) to see if comfort is better.

Cup Shape
The other initial worry upon measuring was that there would be too much up volume overall. Surprise!! It fits my larger left breast! The cups are so tall. My nipples sit in like the bottom third of the total cup height haha. I'd imagine this bra works simply because it fits like a full cup on me. Considering the lower cups have a bit of give, and the lace is stretchy, I'm sure this is technically designed for someone with very narrow and round boobs, as the model is. (I'm more conical.) So if you have a similar perimeter to mine, but are more full, tall, and rounded (overall more volume) than I am, this bra should work wondefully for you!

Projection
The immediate isn't perfect, but center projection is good. There's a tiiiiny bit of empty space near the gore, so good for inner fullness. As for the shape I get, I give it a 5 out of 10. It pushes me a tiny bit forward from the narrow wires, but I don't have more dramatic projection than I natually have.

Band
Oooh, the band. Simply it's too big. In my photos it's on the 2nd hook and can stretch quite a way from my back. The band is clearly bowing up in the back photo! The material is quite stretchy so cut into my back, doesn't spring the underwires much either. The band needs firming up with a layer of strong powermesh added, as well as a shortening.

Straps
Honestly the straps are firmer than the band! And they're quite wide set! Not as bad as the Gaia bras (they were falling off) but it makes the band situation worse as I tighten them to feel like they're staying firmly in place. Straps are short, as I am petite in upper body length, and they're hardly tightened. Fully adjustable though.

Appearance
So. Pretty. It's like a princess bra!! Although I was a bit disappointed at first that the stitching was blue not silver, and the tricot is printed and not embroidered, after putting it on and seeing how complimenting it was, I fell in love with it. The rose gold with teal and clear jewels is a fantastic touch! It needs a bit of alteration to look the best on me, but wow am I glad I'm finally getting unique and stunningly beautiful bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Comfort
Underwires hurt. Wide straps make shoulders tense up. But with fixes, it should be great. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Summary
Underwires too narrow, band too big, cups full coverage, fabrics beautiful. Overall, I love it. I think it's worth fixing and adding to the collection!

Rozowy (rose) colorway

This bra was given to me by amandafire which was a project of hers to see if she could reduce the cup height herself. So as you can see, one side is regular, and the other has been reduced. I am so happy she let me try this bra, and I'm so elated to see that it fits! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> For the most part. Obviously, the reduced side is a bit too open for me, even with a cookie inserted. I think there is more gaping on the reduced side because when the strap was sewn back on, it's closer ... to my armpit/arm than the regular side, so I push the cup forward a tiny bit. My apex also is about an inch below the cup apex (yay full-on-top-ness). Also, these cups are a tiiiiiny bit too big for me, but I know that if I went down a size, it would definitely be too small. There is slight wrinkling in the bottom of the cups, close to the center gore, but that is simply because my roots are weirdly shaped and the wires are more U shaped than my roots are. I fill the rest of the lower half of the cup fine, there's just a tiny bit of empty space right over my apex, but then the top of the cup sits flush against my skin. So I believe I can get away with it with cookies inserted if I were to buy more Comexim bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I also tried this bra on with large, firm push-up inserts, to see if that could reduce the gaping, but due to the fabric softness and flexibility, it just pushed the cups out rather than push my breasts up to fill the top edge of the cup. My breasts are splayed, which means I need a lot of side support to push all the tissue out of my armpits and pointing forward, and I find that even though this bra fits the root of my tissue really well, I still somehow settle into my armpits after several hours, and need to re-scoop and swoop (only once or twice a day, though, not like every 5 minutes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> ) So I wish the cups were a tad more structured and stiff, BUT even with the softness issue, I STILL get more forward projection than any of the other bras I've had! Everything else I have just kind of sits around my breasts, or flattens them a bit now, rather than push them forward. And to top it all off, this bra is comfy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> No painful band, no painful gore, no painful straps; it's really comfy. I guess the flexibility is good because it moves with me as I move, but just a biiiit more stiffness along the sides would be ideal.

I noticed that almost all 60 bands in Comexim say they reach a max stretch of less than 28 inches, but I found this one to stretch to my comfortable max of 29.5 inches. Maybe it's because it's a used bra, maybe I am just more aggressive at stretching? Either way, while I know this bra fits in this size, I might still want to try a 65H in another model just to be sure I don't end up with a band too big or too small.

One odd thing about this bra was that the left wire was 5.5 inches wide, and the right wire was only 5 inches wide. (This is why I averaged them at 5.25 inches when I input the measurements.) The right wire fit my right breast perfectly (it's a bit more narrow than my left), and the left wire was a bit too wide. I think in a perfect world, I would need a 5 inch wide wire for my right breast and 5.25 inch wide wire for my left. (Another reason why I don't want to size down, because then the wires would probably be too narrow.)

The next step for this bra would be to move the straps in. When I manually folded the cup so that the strap would sit closer to my sternum, the gaping went away. I'll probably keep it lopsided for now and use it as an "experimentation" bra.

I am just SO EXCITED I finally got to try this brand!! My breasts have betrayed me and when from wide and shallow to more narrow and projected (yay re-migrated tissue?), so almost all UK bras just don't cut it any more! No more Tutti Rouge, no more Cleo, no more Freya; no more favorites! It's sad, but hopefully Comexim will come to my rescue! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

When I was about 119 pounds, this was PERFECT. Now at 126-128 lbs, its too small, but I'm working on getting back to under 120. This review will be for when it fit for about 6 months of being between 116 and 118 pounds.

-------------------------
I am absolutely DEVASTATED that Impimi closed their business!!!

I have a somewhat strange breast root shape... kind of Nike "swoosh" shape. And somehow, Impimi's underwires fit my shape perfectly! The depth of the cup fit my immediate projected shape as well. As will any unlined bra, I had to add cookies just to push my apexes up higher, because mine are naturally quite low ... and downward pointing. (Without cookies, the apex of unlined bras are empty and wrinkly despite the rest of the bra fitting.) I'm full on top, and if I had a bra that fit my shape exactly, it would be very upside down 7 shaped, and I'd rather look more balanced and even more "perky" for shirts to fit well and look flattering to my figure.

The cup top edge just barely slightly cuts into my FOT shape, but not enough to cause the cup edge to slide down and top half of the cup to wrinkle. There's a little bit of fabric bulk where the lower and upper parts of the cup meet, so not recommended for thin shirts, but otherwise the cup looks smooth when filled with my breast. Straps aren't too wide, so no problem there.

The bra is beige. Boring, right? WRONG!! The lace on this bra is gorgeous! So shiny, so floral; so pretty! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> There are little silver circles in the edging of the lace, and a complimentary sparkly dangly decal with a bow at the center. A bow on each strap, and the strap fabric has a picot edge. You can really see the thought to details to make this a "nude" bra for pale skin, and yet they still wanted it to be not boring. Speaking of the color, it's slightly warmer and darker than my skin, but almost a perfect match!

Other random note: the price was unbeatable. During their sale, I got two bras plus shipping for only $40.85!!

So, now the bad.... I don't exactly remember why I sized up in band; maybe suggestions I read...? Well anyway, this was a bad idea. The whole band is made of a stretchy fabric, not really a power mesh. The cradle is lined with what I assume is supposed to be a tricot, but it doesn't prevent the stretch that much. The elastics are VERY elastic, so overall, the band feels super stretchy. With any tension on the straps at all, the wings have a curvy wavy shape in the back, even with the band on the tightest hook. This causes the elastics to cut in, while the wings stretch, so it creates back bulges rather than creates a smooth back. So beautiful appearance in the front of the bra, but the band fabrics are lacking in support and smoothness.

Also in regards to the band, despite the underwires fitting perfectly, they are HARD. They must be punched steel rather than the nice rounded, coated wires. Even though the band is too stretchy, the underwires DIG in at the gore, the sides... like, all over, even under my breast, which is rare for me to get discomfort there unless I slouch all day, forcing the underwires to dig into my ribs. I've tried bending the wires, but considering it digs all around, it hasn't helped much. So sadly, uncomfortable at the end of the day. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Overall, this was an awesome unlined bra. I really wish that Impimi would have been successful, because I would have bought more in the next band size down and in more colors if they had made any. Maybe even could have purchased the white and dyed it. I'll have to make some patterns from the cups and hopefully find some more comfortable underwires in the same shape.

This bra is not owned any more

Over the summer, there were A LOT of bralette reviews popping up, and even though I thought I hated them, I wanted to get on that train. My breasts also were going through a stage where they ached with the slightest bounce and movement, so I was desperate to find a solution. It needed to be something that was more comfy for slouching and sleeping in. If possible, I wanted to be able to wear them as an actual bra to work/running errands since it was hot out!!
This was the first I got from Target, and I immediately shortened the band (cut off 1 inch on either side ... in back) and reattached the hook and eyes. It helped a bit, but still super duper long, and stretchy. Hey it was only $12, what was the risk in trying? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
The cups are just too flat. They slide down and wrinkle below my boobs, and flatten them more than their natural projection. At first I figured that was just how bralettes worked like I remembered, and a bit disappointed, I saved it as an around-the-house/sleeping bra.
BUT there will be a happy ending!! Stay tuned for the next few bralettes! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Black colorway

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band,

Updated on Dec 04, 2017 Flag this

Starting Notes
Polish haul bra three of six to review!! Sorry they're so spaced out. Writing such extensive reviews makes me procrastinate, plus a bunch of power outages due to surprise weather, equals gaps in review time. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I bought this Gaia Adeline bra in both beige and black. I thought the black one was a different colorway, as they had the wrong product photo, but more on that later. They do fit a tiny bit differently, so I'll make some notes on that as I go along. This is the review for the beige colorway.

Wires
From the time I first put it on, ... to the time I take the bra off, the wire width seems good, but the shape is not perfect. It follows the curve of my root from sternum to the bottom of my breast, and then it's too rounded on the side. You can see the wedge of empty fabric; I added a photo with a red line showing where my root is in comparison to the wire shape. The wires are too tall in front, and they're a bit too separated from me as well. Unfortunately, these underwire problems cause the bra to slide down. I've had this happen to bras in the past; I think Cleo Marcie was one of them. The slant of my sternum just disagrees with the wire height and gore shape! Despite it sliding, I didn't quad by the end of the day. Throughout the day I felt the need to keep pushing my bra up, but then it would press on the sore spot on my sternum, so eventually I just gave up. It's more comfortable sitting not quite half an inch too low. Not having very heavy breasts, I didn't notice a lack of support from sitting lower. So either I'll just leave the bra as-is (it's an excellent "nude" bra for me to have around) or try to adjust the wire height at the gore.

Cup Shape
Not quite pointy, not quite rounded. It gathers my breasts out of my armpits, but doesn't push them together, but rather very forward and separated. Looking top down, I get an almost torpedo shape! Luckily the sides are tall enough and underarm elastic tight enough that despite wide straps, I don't get any spill back into my armpits. And the upper cup is also either just the right shape or stretchy enough to not cut into my upper fullness!

Projection
It's very projected in the middle, and immediate projection is excellent as well. From my photo of just the cup at side view, you can see the rounded shape. There's a tiny bit of space right above the underwire that looks kind of more flat off the body, but on my body it looks like it's almost a 90 degree angle with my body at the very bottom of the cup.

Band
It measure as very small max stretch for technically a 30 band, BUT the wings are a spandex-like knit, not powermesh. They feel stretchy and the wings stretch more than the band elastics, which creates dreaded bulges. I had a first set of photos, but they were more blurry, and I had it on the first set of hooks. I guess despite being tight, the stretchiness of the band made me want to wear it on the second set of hooks when I re-did the photos? It does look like it cuts into me more in the second set (the ones uploaded here). I will probably wear it regularly on the first set, but I took some photos of after wearing it for a day, and the band appears to be curving up directly below the straps in back. I can see this bra relaxing VERY quickly. Also, there's something weird going on with the bottom band elastic, like it was stretched too hard when sewing it along the curve of the cradle. Both underwires tack, quite hard in fact, and despite my rib flares, the elastic still curls up and away from me. You can see this in the photo of it lying flat a bit as well. I provided a photos for visuals.

Straps
Firm elastic. A bit wide-set, and I would consider them short as well. Being so wide, I feel like I have to tighten them a bit to prevent them from falling off my shoulders. This probably partially contributes to the bra riding up in back, and it creates angry red marks on my shoulders darker than usual.

Appearance
Alright, despite me being nit-picky about the fit so far, I find this bra so beautiful. But it's so simple, how, why?! The fact that the color matches me so well, and the subtle mesh lace is a light mauve over the beige, it's just SO visually appealing to me. None of the photos do it justice; the natural daylight makes it look too orangy, the front-facing camera photos washes it (and me) out, the photos with flash make it just a bit too pink... I'll have to experiment with lighting and a bit of color editing to try to get its true color photographed! Now as for wearing appearance, I like the extreme forwardness I see when I look down. But under clothes... meh? From my three-quarter view with my black tank top on, it's just kind of a straight line from my color bone down to the apex. It looks too upside-down 7 shaped (on no, that's my natural shape!!). I would actually rather lose just a tiny bit of that projection if it would round out my profile just a smidgen. Aaaand "back fat..." I just HATE the combo of firm elastic and stretchy wing fabric. Where bras normally fit smoothly, this combo creates the most unflattering bulges! D': And it gets worse throughout the day as the front goes down and back gets pulled up.

Comfort
I touched on this before, the gore is just TOO DAMN TALL. WHY ARE ALL THE GORES SO TALL?? Tall gore = my sternum wants to explode. Also, straps have to be too tight to feel like they won't fall off, so uncomfortable shoulders by the end of the day. Overall, by the time the bra has slid down and the band been pulled up a tiny bit in the back, it's not too bad. It's not killing me like the Gorsenia Miriam bra, but obviously it would be if it were to sit in the right place. So comfort is just "ok."

Summary
I like this bra. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. Honestly, when I first put it on, I thought it would be my new holy grail bra. I was stunned at the projection I got! At first, it fits my shape so well, makes me super projected, and the color is pretty. BUT, by the end of the day, I just like it. That's all. The gore hurts me, it causes the bra to slide down, it's just an ok shape under clothing, the straps are a bit too wide, and the band isn't powermesh. WHERE'S MY POWERMESH?! It will stick around and be part of my ever growing rotation. And now it's here, for bra science. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

Bezowy (beige) colorway

Updated on Feb 13, 2019 Flag this

Cups are smaller than my other 30DD in Crimson (I was banking on it being smaller since it's darker and dark dye usually means smaller) but damn are the wings stretchy!! Even worse than my other! It's WAY too big right off the bat, you can see wrinkling cup fabric under my arms since the underwires didn't spring. Being big to being with, and having super duper stretchy wings (what is with the one layer of weak mesh??), and stiff wires, it takes a LOT to get the wires to spring.

Cups are great accept that the lace is looser than the lower cup portions, but then the top ... elastic is tight, so it creates an in-cup quad effect when first scoop and swooped, but then the top cup edge slides down within a couple seconds of movement, causing it to create a bubble.

I love the style even though the wires are a bit too wide even not being sprung, but I definitely knew sizing down in cup would be disastrous as I've already tried that, and by some fluke it was $14.89 on Amazon Prime (now it's $72???) so I took a chance. Ideally I'd want to try this in a 28E, but it's $54.95 which is a HUGE price difference. I need to just bunker down and sew some freaking black powermesh onto the wings, and it will all be good!! Also might remove the narrow elastic along the top of the lace. What's the point of stretch lace if you're going to have tight elastic along the top edge??

If they could create a slightly narrower-wired version of this bra, with actual powermesh as the wings, and didn't tighten the top edge of the cup, it would be the perfect bra for me. If anyone knows of one matching this description, let me know. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Update after a full day of wearing: the wires are too wide, so my boobs settle into the armpits, and the cups end up puffy and empty in the upper part of the cup throughout the day. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It's obvious under tight or thin or clingy shirts, and I continually feel the need to readjust. This bra might have to be a large project: add powermesh to wings, adjust armpit elastic, put in narrower wires, and maybe have to take out some center cup depth. We'll see.

Wow. I never thought I would be able to wear a soft cup bra. Of course, in the past I was always trying the wrong size, so they were always way too loose, way too narrow, and way too deep for me.

This bra is not only beautiful and unique in color, it actually fits.

Technically, this shape is too full-on-bottom for me. (Would be good for FOB, maybe even-fullness as well) The top lace slides down the top of my breasts and creates a slight ridge. If I pull it up all the way, it cuts in a slight bit and then slides back down again. I ... could very easily hand tack it down and no one would be able to tell, and everything else fits absolutely perfectly. Thank you so much nufin for altering the band, it seems like it was made just for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> (You did a really good job too, it looks so professional!) It's really firm and comfortably tight and doesn't slide around during the day at all.

Since this is my first unlined bra, maybe it isn't right, maybe I'm just crazy. But it's comfortable and doesn't cause my pain in any way! (Except the very first breaking-in wearing, of course.) There MIGHT be slight pulling lines in the bottom half of the cups, so maybe the cups are too small? Whatever the tightness, the cups surprisingly push my breasts up and they look superbly round. (I had feared a soft cup would make me look pointy.) The cups have two layers of mesh, so they're very supporting and there's only slight show-through while nipping. The seams and embroidery would should through t-shirts, so I recommend this for medium-weight fabrics and/or fabrics with texture.

The color is absolutely gorgeous; a beautiful seafoam green. There are so many appliqués that make the bra so cute and elegant. It reminds me of a sun-dress and a grassy field of flowers! ^.^

Currently, my breasts are a bit swelled due to PMS and bloating, so the cups fit a bit tighter than they did two days ago, but it's hardly noticeable.

Altered band,

Updated on Feb 27, 2014 Flag this

November 2015 Update: When I swoop and scoop, I get quadboob. Band is still too large and breasts settle back to my armpits and wires sit on breast tissue. For some reason the seam of the bra causes the apex of the bra to be more east-west than my own already-cockeyed breasts, and they point down too, so creates a terrible silhouette under clothing. I've attached a picture of me pointing at my apex next to the point of the seam so you can see how off it is. I will be so sad to see this go because the charcoal and magenta coloring is the most stunning ... I've ever seen. But, alas, the bra is all wrong and the underwear is too small anyway. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />((


**UPDATE** Now that my breasts are bigger, they definitely fill the cup, but the band is still to large and with the combo of the wires being too narrow, it sits on my breast tissue on the side, and are too low so my breasts want to STILL slip out the side. Also, now the cups point awkwardly down and away, so even though I get sexy moundage at the top of the cups, under shirts, the apexes are seriously east-westing. I just don't think this will ever work. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />


Original 2014 Review: This is a brand new bra purchased from the UK eBay site. First of all, it is absolutely gorgeous. The Charcoal/Raspberry combo is stunning. I purchased the matching short with suspenders, and they are mighty fine! This set is beautiful and I just HAD to have it no matter what...which is why the bra doesn't fit perfectly.

I bought this bra knowing that I would have to alter the band tighter. But the cup volume is really good. (Depth from armpit underwire across apex to edge of cup is 6.75, but from wire to wire it's about 7.75. Entering the depth was a bit confusing since the wires on this bra plunge so far in the middle.) When I swoop-and-scoop and have my fiance hold the band tighter, I fill the cups all the way. I don't get any cleavage, but that's because I have wide-set, shallow breasts and there are no push-up pads in this bra. Going down in the cup would probably cut in. If I'm not standing up perfectly straight, or I move my arms forward, the straps are so wide in my armpits that the cups buckle and large gaps form over my breasts. (Can see in images provided) The color is stunning though. Have I mentioned yet how much I love the colors? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The wires don't go very high under the arms, so that may be a problem, but hopefully after altering the band the wires and cups will fit tighter against my chest and no armpit spillage will happen. The width of the wires is great though.

While the band doesn't ride up yet (I'd say it has medium firm-ness), I still have to have it on the tightest hook with the straps pretty tight for the cups to press against my chest with no gaping. I hope to make the center gore a bit narrower and the band several inches shorter.

Pros:
- Super plunge so it would be great under low necklines
- Despite plunge, wires luckily do not dig in.
- BEAUTIFUL colors and the details in the bows and decorative buttons add a great touch
- Staps are extremely adjustable
- Cup volume is good - wide and shallow, which is what I need
- Sturdy band, so when altered it shouldn't be too stretchy
- The fabric is really extremely soft on the inside of the cups, and the band material is very slippery and soft. Satin is very smooth and soft. Very comfortable fabrics all around.

Cons:
- Band is too loose
- Details will show under thin shirts
- Dart in lace causes a slight pucker and point at the bust apex; could look like east-westing nipples worn under shirts that aren't tight/thick enough to flatten the points down.
- Cups gap when arms press against body or face forward.

I wish I could have this in my true size, 28E, but my options are limited money-wise so hopefully altering will work out! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I will add updates once altered.

It's my go-to bra right now as my body is changing so rapidly. Sure, it's too shallow, sure it's way too wide, but it doesn't hurt me. So pah!!
