This is my second Empreinte Melody Contour Demi Cup in 32E. I picked up this NWT gem for a real deal after going on a hunt because I adored the Melody I picked up here from a fellow Bratabaser. Interestingly, this one is fitting differently than the other - it seemed smaller sort of overall. I decided it was more likely due to me (my body and breasts change depending on where I am in my cycle) until I took a look at the measurements side by side. The Caramel colorway IS smaller. Not by a ton, but it's enough to give me some quadding I wish I didn't have. The band is considerably smaller and less stretchy, and that is actually something I'm happy about - I'm on the closest set of hooks with my other Melody, whereas on this new one I'm on the farthest set. This experience and discrepant observations aren't steering me away from this style - I still quite like it - I just find it hard to understand how these bras can retail for $100+ USD with anything less than exacting quality control. I will not be paying retail for one of these bras, ever. Still, the projection, shape, support, and firm yet minimal "padding" are everything I want in a bra.
