Didn't fit
I so wanted this bra to fit because the print is lovely. It's got a lot of fit issues, I'll list them out:
The cups: too small! I would say this bra runs small in the cups. Either that or it's too shallow for my average/slightly above average projection. I'm quading on both sides.
The wires: Very narrow. I think I can size up in the cup and get a fit because these wires are so narrow. A larger cup might be projected enough and the wires shouldn't be wrapping around my back. If I can try this in larger cup I will. These are super firm, very stabby wires. They stab on the gore and sides. There is no cushioning at all, and with wires this firm, if you don't have much padding around your rib cage it might be too uncomfortable to wear.
The band: Why is it so lose?? I measure a 26 band, but even so I can tell this band runs loose. It lifts off my frame at the bottom. It also only has 2 hook columns. I take really good care of my bras and so I like my bras to have longevity, seeing only 2 is disappointing. .
The straps: Ouch, my armpits! These are thick, stiff straps. All straps are wide on me but because of the size and material they really dig in and hurt. It might soften up with washing. I've never had straps that weren't short enough before. They are very stretchy and I had to put them as short as they will go, it's OK, but I would prefer a more snug fit.
Overall this is a very strange bra, fit wise. Only 2 hook columns, stabby wires from hell, loose band and straps, wide and very hard straps. It doesn't feel supportive because everything is so lose and stretchy.
And so the hunt for something that fits me continues...This bra is not owned any more
