Disappointed in Empreinte
I own and *love* one Empreinte bra, the Melody underwire seamless. It's perfect, except that the straps are a wee bit wide and the lace isn't my fave for everyday.
I've been trying other Empreinte bras, though, and the Melody shape seems to be an aberration. The three different seamed cups I've tried all squashed and flattened my boobs.The photos show a lovely round shape, but on me... I don't know if they're too narrow, expect less fullness, or what, but the result is extremely sad. Now I'm stuck trying to return two bras to a French online store with no posted return policy, or else I'm out $100+. (Discounted bras actually made me wary that it was a... bootleg issue, but buying the Daisy Empreinte through Amazon gave me the exact. same. shape.
I guess it could also be that the cups are too small in the three seamed styles I've tried, but they seem to fully encapsulate me so it seems more like a shape problem...

you should post a fit check! empreinte are truly wonderful, but like all brands/styles they don't work for everyone. The sizing is unique/tricky, it could be a sizing issue.
Yes, their sizing is basically from another planet. I've tried on eleventy billion of their bras (and in different size ranges too) so I'm happy to help if you want to post fit requests. What were the models you tried and in what sizes?
