Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...

As I type, I'm lounging in complete comfort on a couch in an underwire bra. When I stand, the all-too-familiar burning sensation will not emerge. I feel supported, lifted and very comfortable.

This bra displays why most gores are too wide down the entire length of the gore. When lifted, my breasts are close-set from top to bottom. Sigh. The relief I feel in this bra...!

There is more jiggle than I like--I won't exercise in this bra. It is perfect for a stroll, but not my preferred, zippy pace. This I will wear while walking with my little daughter.

I wear 30FF/30G Curvy Kate and 60M Comexim 3HC. So, 34E, although a sister size to 30FF, was risky. learningaboutbras assured me the band ran SMALL. Delightedly, I can confirm it does: it stretches to 30". Fastening this 34 band on the tightest setting provides admirable and surprising support. I prefer 28" and 30" bands, yet feel fantastic in this 34".

Due to the design, I don't know that there would be enough support for tall roots. I envision them falling quickly toward the open center. But, short roots will love this bra. The cups are relatively shallow, but the cup design accommodates my projected, very short roots well. Because the cups are shallow, this bra is minimizing: no complaints from me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

The wings are tall, and yet, don't irritate my underarm. This "wall of silk" wing keeps my tissue in front and out of my arm pits.

These measurements are my sincere attempt to capture what is almost impossible to measure. They are very rough and will likely vary wildly from your own; cup width and cup depth.

Silk, silk, and more silk. After six scratchy, worse-than-curtain-sheers Panache bras and their stabbing wires, this bra is heaven.

Sincere appreciation to learningaboutbras for
1. Trying this bra when there was no dimensional information--what an expensive adventure!
2. Sharing your discovery here.
3. Sharing the 1 stockists on the internet with stock, final clearance, and a 20% off coupon.

Thank you!!

EDIT: Whoa!! This is the 1st bra that stays in my IMF. Thank goodness I bought two. The fit is so comfortable, I searched for a third. I will definitely look for continuous wire bras in the future. Literally, I can wear this all day with no discomfort!! Apparently, center full breasts can push most bras out of our IMF if there isn't space for our center tissue.

This bra is not owned any more

  So beautiful on you. I want. I deserve silk. I am fat but I still deserve silk in my favorite color. I want to hold the designer hostage until they make one in my size.

  Thank you Love4Pollinators - found it here too, & I'll be keeing a close eye on it! https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/1671509/heidi-klum-poolside-affair-underwire-bra

• I want it so bad but it's 2 inches wider then what normally works for me and pretty tall in the wings. I think I might have to live vicariously through you.

  The width and depth are a guess. It was my best attempt. The wires don't bothere and 5.8" is usually as side as I can comfortably go. I thought the wing height would bother me, but it doesn't. Comexim wings at 4.6" rub me raw. I wish my measurements were different, but this bra is unusual and difficult to measure.

  I should turn spell check back on....yikes.

  The cup width doesn't bother me and 5.8" is usually as wide as I can comfortably tolerate.

  I'll photograph, tomorrow, how I measured this unusual masterpiece....you will "see" how wacky the measurements are ;-)

• Thanks! i'm so tempted. A uniwire seems like an interesting addition.

• lacey181 The model at Nordstrom Rack is not the uniwire. Just thought you would want to know :-)

• Ahh, thank you!!! @love4pillinatorS

  Love4Pollinators , I'm delighted the Poolside Longline worked for you, too! I used to feel I was the only one who suffered from even plunge bra center gores' height and width. I hope they make a lot more uniwire bras that fit like the Poolside for you, me, and everybody else with the same issue. I'm finding the absence of pain an extra joy in hot weather. You described well the \feeling of relief and gratitude at finding such comfort.
