The bra that got away... works now!
For me, the Cleo Meg Balconnet (6751) in the bird print is the bra that got away. I am quite projected with short roots, and I've discovered that the Ewa Michalak HM and HP bras are what work for me. I'm able to get away with some Comexim's, but the gore doesn't tack, and most bras there is a ton of empty space at the top.
I've tried the Meg in multiple sizes, and there is always this awkward empty space that wrinkles quite visibly under any shirt, and so even though it has my absolutely favorite print, I haven't been able to wear it, even with tons of alterations. Prettyncharmeuse sold me the 28E, and it fits reasonably well! The gore almost tacks, and the wrinkling is at a minimum, without alterations. It's not too wide, and I think it will work for me! I've lost some weight and I'm no longer a 28G (I was wearing a 28FF in shallow bras, but my size was at least one cup up for projected bras), and I think I never want to get bigger again! At this size, my short roots are no longer an issue! Sure, there's some fitting issues, but it doesn't look bad and it gives me a lot more support than my Ewa bras! I'm just stoked!
