Didn't fit

I think it's time to face facts that some bras may be just too wide for my frame and this is probably one of them.

First off, I feel kind of silly for not realizing that the Leslie Contour Bra does not have seams up the front, like it appears to have, but is in fact, lightly molded cups. I thought I did my research on this one, but apparently not enough. That vertical seaming you see on the front is pure decoration. Had I known that, I probably wouldn't have ordered it. Not that there is anything wrong with molded cups, but I have a couple that I am happy with, like the Cleo Karen and the Freya Deco and Taylor models. I wished to experiment with cups with vertical seaming this time around. I guess the moral of the story here is you can never do too much research.

So, this bra. The band is a *firm* 30. For once, I am using the last hooks. I'm not being strangled or anything, but I'm between sizes at 29.4" - so if you are like 31" in the underbust area, you might want to go up a band size or use an extender.

The cups are wide and roomy. They enclose my sideboob areas fine, but the wires go up a little high in the armpits. Not enough to be uncomfortable, but just enough to be potentially annoying. It becomes more noticeable when I have the cups pulled up in the proper position. There is some gapping, but after an agressive scooping and swooping, the cups are definitely filled out. Well, enough so that the gore no longer tacks to my chest. Oops.

I feel like I would like this bra better if the cups came closer together or were a touch less wide. Right now they give my breasts lift but they are still spread out. It's like the Leslie is trying to do what the Taylor does, but missing the mark.

Things I like about the Leslie: the animal print pattern; I'm a sucker for patterns like this tbh. I like the firm band, but we'll see how long it remains firm. I really like that the band has three hooks instead of a wimpy two. Also! It has side support boning. So I might in the future try another Parfait By Affinitas bra, but with a different cup style.
