Didn't fit
This bra is suuuper gorgeous - makes my boobs look amazing and nicely rounded from the side. When I put it on in the fitting room, it seemed perfect. With a little wear, I've discovered that it can get fairly painful during the day, especially sitting down at work. The underwire tends to painfully poke into the fat above it on my arm. (Sidebar - how on earth is a plus size girl supposed to figure out what's fat and what's breast tissue when scooping into cups?) Likewise, by the end of the day I'd have fairly painful pressure points at the top of the gore in front of my chest. However, there was spare room in the channel, and I've been able to push the wire down in front, and squoosh it in flush with the elastic in the channel on the sides, which actually mostly fixes both problems- having that elastic there helps to cushion it instead of it just being wire stabbing through mesh. I'm also hoping with wear it'll chill out a little.
I do also wish the wings were a little larger or firmer, because on a fatter body, it does tend to squoosh in, but not in a painful way.
On the plus side, this is the most secure I've ever felt in a bra - they're not going anywhere! It's also my first non-moulded cup, so I can't really compare that well to others of its ilk, other than that I seem to have a like 1/11 hit rate in the dressing room, and this is the best so far!
EDIT: okay, I've since realized I was totally in the wrong size when I wrote this, an remigrated a lot, so take it with a grain of salt.
This bra is not owned any more
