Isn’t it funny how the most random things can give us info about size and fit? I just took off my 65G Corin Virginia after wearing it all night and checked out the markings on my skin, and it looks like the wires are exactly narrow enough to follow the curve of the side of my boob (bad wording sorry lol) perfectly.

  • I always check the wire marks to see if they follow my roots. It’s kinda neat, right?

  • Wire marks can be misleading though. If your breast tissue is compressive (a fair amount of squish to them) as you put your breasts into the cups, they can be squished in all directions and with a proper Lift/ Swoop n Scoop, your breasts may sit higher. This can give the illusion that the wires don't match up upon bra removal, and give the false impression that the wires are below your IMF at times when in reality it's not the case. (Though if you use your hands to hold/compress/lift your breasts like the bra does, you will see how they match up. )

    The perfect bras to test this with are sheer bras, where you have a full visual of the true fit with the bra on then compare it to how the wire marks sit when the bra is removed. I love my sheer Ewa SM bras for this reason. 😍
