Didn't fit

The bra straps are a little scratchy and I wish they were a little wider. When raising arms above my head, the straps feel too tight on loosest setting.

It's a soft cup so it does give a bit of a pointy profile. But I feel more lifted than when wearing a molded cup. I can fit my hand under the band easily, but somehow it still feels tight (probably my high belly). Worn with an extender feels more comfortable.

It is very sheer. I can peep ma nips along the seam of the cups.

The sides or wings are lower than my Cacique Smooth Balconette 44DDD, and the boning is thinner so it doesn't irritate my underarms. However the edge of the fabric does a bit.

Overall, I'd say this a much better fit than my previous bra. I fill the cups completely, the gore tacks, and all of my boob fat is encapsulated in cone form. (EDIT: It feels like the wire is resting on my fat at the outers of the cup. I've swooped and scooped all I can. The top of the wires toward the armpit bow out and poke my arms. I think I might need to go up a cup size or two...)

I'm curious to know how durable this bra will be.
