So far - this is the best fitting bra that I've ever had. I hope to get my hands on more bras that fit this well and maybe even better! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I have projected, pendulous, full on bottom breasts with, i think, short roots (& not sure if narrow or not).
The band is elastic and comfortable yet does its job pretty well. Overall stays in place throughout the day. As it stretches the back tends to ride just a little bit upwards but that's just if I have to be nitpicky about it (it's not too bad). https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It has stretched a little bit since I bought it but I'm not yet on the tightest set of hooks (though i could soon be there). Maybe a 28 band would've been better in the long run but this one functions well enough, too.
The straps are an OK length for me. The best thing: that they're adjustable all the way. Also, another thing I noticed: even if it's said (and true) that 80% of the support should come from the band, ...the straps are very important on this one, too. If I take the straps off of my shoulders, my boobs sag a lot, with the bra moulding to their natural shape and placement. If the straps become too loose, my boobs also sag a bit. BUT the good thing: the wires still stay in place! That could be because this is the first bra with enough projection for me.
The cups are of a good volume, maaaybe a tad too large on the top part (there are some minor wrinkles there, especially near the center panel). Otherwise, I get good support from this bra. The shape is a bit new to me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> being pretty projected and a little more pointy than what I'm used to, but it's comfortable and fits well, and uplifts my boobs really well, which is the main reason why I love it. I've learned to like the shape it gives me looking from the side. Though maybe I'd still prefer a shape that's a little more rounded when I look for a new bra.
The wires are just about the perfect width. I thought that maybe I could go even narrower, but I tried drawing two dots: on the inner and outer sides of my breast roots and looked at where the wires are sitting. Concluded that the wires on this bra align pretty much perfectly with my roots. So yay, it's a good fit.
The center gore sits comfortably at my sternum. The right wire tends to shift away from my sternum a little bit but I think that's probably because my right breast is a tad larger than my left one.
Overall, lovely fit, lovely look. I believe I could find something even better (a slightly tighter band and with cups that don't wrinkle at the top), but for now, this is my favorite bra.
