Didn't fit
This bra is not a good shape for me, and I'm 100% certain it's a bad size as well. This is no fault of the bra, of course, but I knew it didn't fit from the get-go and I kept it anyway. The band is way too tight, and I realized just now that it's because stretched-out it measures 29". I'm exactly 29" around, and a 30" band is often my best bet. It's interesting reading about this bra stretching out, because I haven't experienced that at all (yet).
It's very pretty and feminine - I have one that is just peach or pink. I think the split strap and the bow are pretty, but I like to be girly like that (under my clothes). The straps, however, are way too far apart for me.
I don't like the shape the bra gives me at all. At first I thought it was interesting, and I liked how it seemed to fit my wide-set breasts perfectly in a way that other bras haven't so far. But I quickly got over that. Maybe it's indeed because of my wide set, but I prefer to be pushed up and together... not down and out. This bra makes my chest look very wide and yet also quite flat because it squished me quite a bit and gave me a monstrous quad boob on my left side (the larger side).
The worst part for me is that even though I have quad boob and am more or less pinned down by this bra, I don't fill out the bottom half of the cups at all. The fabric wrinkles and forms a pretty significant crease that ends up making me look like I have square boobs. I have tried to hike up the straps, but inevitably it settles back down. And anyway, if I adjust the straps the necessary amount, I get even more quad-boob and then the bra is basically in my armpits. Beautiful.
I'm posting this one for fitting help, because clearly I've got the size wrong ... but I also am inclined to think that maybe this bra doesn't work for my shape.
