Similaritiies between the Curvy kate Carmen and Masquerade Persia?
I'm kind of stoked (ok, comepletely) that I've tried these two bras that I "knew" wouldn't fit because I got them for cheap one ebay and amazon, and I'm pretty sure they're the best fitting bras I've tried. I got them both in 28E, and the Carmen bra is perfect, but I'm currently using an extender with the Persia. Does anyone know the similarities between the two bras? From what I've read, I think they're both projected with narrow wires, is that true? And what about the top? They don't seem very open to me.
My only gripe with the Carmen is that the mesh doesn't work under t-shirts (which I mostly wear) and I don't want to ruin it by cutting it off. The persia fits almost perfectly in the cups, but I get a bit of wrinkling at the apex near the center, which I think is due to my breasts wanting to point outwards. With every unlined bra (or lightly lined like the Persia) I've tried, I get wrinkling where the lace layer starts at the top, but the Persia is the only one where it is still wearable. I've only worn it once, so I'm hoping it stays that way!
Are there any other bras with similar shapes? I'm thinking of trying the Panache Andorra full cup.
