  • The horizontal seam is often seen on wired and nonwired bras patterned after vintage (pre-1970s) designs, which maximized projection and created a distinct point at the apex of the cup. If you have naturally very projected, perhaps even somewhat conical breasts then this shape will match your anatomy very well; women with shallower or rounder breast shapes that just can't "make a point" actually used to use conical pads to fill out the ends of their pointy cup bras!

    However, even if it fits you perfectly, if you are a typical modern young lady and consider pointy boobs to be a horrible look, you probably won't like the appearance of this type of bra on you.

  • my breast are shallow and conical. but these shaped bras smash my breast in a "sandwich" flat on top and bottom shape. it's very odd.
    i thought that they would work great on me since they in theory are my shape...
