My shape: fairly projected, tall roots, soft tissue so my projection is all below my apex!, average to narrow roots.

This bra is (in my inexperienced opinion!) more projected than the Andorra in this size, less projected than either Envy or Jasmine. It gives a more rounded shape than the Andorra, too - my suspicion is that it has more space in the lower section of the cup.

The band is true to size, but made of a fairly soft/giving fabric so it feels bigger than it is. Stretching the band, the cups begin distorting at around the 28 inch mark, but the band itself feels loose on my 27 inch underbust. So I would not recommend for any sub-28s. The cup width is around average for this size - my bratabase measurement is tip to tip, but I also measured straight across as though the bra were a balconette and the wire continued some, and would put it at around the 5 inch mark. The cups are also deep, over 9 inches in this size - if you are a smaller 28F, you may want to size down. The lower portions of the cups are laminated lace, the upper section is stretch lace, the tension is even across the laminated and stretch lace so there is no in cup quad on me (my soft tissue has a general in-cup quad problem, so this is a surprise to me!).

One problem is the side support - this is made of an entirely separate section which is only sewn to the cup on the outer edge. Something about the tension there plus my soft tissue means that in certain positions - esp. stretching up or down with my arms - the side support pushes literally *all* of my tissue into the rest of the cup, creating a very odd shape. Like my breast becomes a very very narrow and bizarre looking bulge. Hardly ever noticeable, but worth considering if you are thinking of this one for an occasion bra.

Overall, I think this is a great bra for anyone who does well in the Andorra, but possibly for those who do well in deeper cups, too, like the Jasmine or Envy.
