Help!
So I just got a new AP bra. Its a 28K - Anna Pardal For Comexim » Caramel Latte Sophisticate Balc... Its supposed to be the Sophisticate cut which is AP's new balconette style. But honestly it look just like any AP or Comexim plunge i have. Does it look like a balconette to anyone? Its confusing me! Maybe its just the size that makes it appear plunge-y? I linked the page of AP's different bra styles if anyone wouldnt mind comparing my photos with what their Sophisticate is supposed to look like! Thank you

Hey, I have the same bra in a 32J/70M, in the Classic Plunge (I have super tall roots and the tall cups fit me well, so have never gotten alterations). After looking at the pictures you put up, yours definitely does look different to mine. The gore on yours is significantly lower, and the angle at which the cups are cut towards the gore (if this makes sense) is much more of a deeper V-shape than mine. It's hard to tell if you have taller (relative to size) cups than mine does, because of the differences in our bodies - the top part of the cups where they join the straps sits much higher on you than it does on me, but as mentioned previously, my roots are unusually tall, and overall I think I am a fair bit bigger in the shoulders/ribcage than you as well, so I don't think I can point out any differences in the bras there.
Overall though, your Caramel Latte appears to be cut in a way that is significantly lower in coverage than mine, so I would say that it definitely is different from the typical Comexim plunge cut! I think this is just a case of the differences not looking as obvious as they do on the Anna Pardal models. It does look great on you, but I don't suppose that matters much if you're not happy with the cut.
Thank you SO much for the detailed response! :D That is very helpful! :) I know if this one isnt actually the balconette, itd be my usual custom alterations which is plunge cut with reduced cups, lowered gore, and the straps moved in. It was in an order with a bunch of bras of my usual set up too so i wouldnt be surprised if it ended up just like them. I guess im just confused because i thought a balconette was more open at the top and lesser coverage! When i compare it to my other AP/Comexims, it actually seems way taller and fuller coverage (at least on the sides and the top, not necessarily the cleavage area). Although it is a size bigger than i had been wearing before as well so that could play in to it. Thats just not exactly what i was expecting and i dont really want to ask because it was gifted to me for having experienced lots of hiccups with them lately lol. I feel bad that they even did that so i dont want to make a peep haha. Im not exactly unhappy with it, i was just really hoping the Sophisticate would be a bit more different than my plunges! Thank you again you are awesome KeighleyKnight ! :D
