Didn't fit
Very short, projected, slightly narrow, close set, center full, even breasts....
Thanks again to courtnelius for recommending Portia. Portia is exceptionally comfortable and fits very well compared to most of the bras I've tried. She is a "keeper." In fact, I fell asleep while wearing her and felt 100% comfortable. Impressive https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
Like courtnelius experienced, Portia has a more closed cup edge. This barely cuts into my soft upper tissue, but does not show under knits. This is another Curvy Kate I recommend for short, projected, narrow breasts. The closed cup is excellent for many of us. The cut of the cup is minimizing and holds breast tissue close to the chest.
This cup has great immediate projection and rounds projected breasts beautifully. Under shirts, this is one of my favorites because the shape is round and equally distributed-demure. Much to my surprise, this bra stays in my IMF. I will have a Dreamcatcher and Madagascar soon. Exciting to finally have bras that don't cause me to cringe just thinking about wearing them. In fact, this morning while preparing for a four hour hike in 95F+ temperatures, this was the bra I grabbed.
However, after wearing this for a few hours, it is obvious it has shallow center projection. If you have center-full breasts, Ellace and Florence will fit better. This lack of center projection causes the wire to sit on one breast during wear. This causes discomfort. Ellace and Florence designs have more space in the center.
Fuchsia/Melon colorway
