Hasn't set fit

Fit: Fits like a tight 32GG or a looser 30H. Wires are a bit wider than average for that volume. The wire shape is U-shaped but not as dramatic as some. Shape is projected and rounded. A very good amount of room at the wire. As for center fullness/center projection, for me personally there wasn't enough room for my center fullness but I need quite a bit, but a lot of reviews praise this model exactly for that. Maybe it's just a bit too wide for me (I need very narrow wires) and the proportion is just wrong for me.

Constructon: Bottom section of the cup has two parts. One layer of strong non-stretch material. Very flat vertical seams! Top section is two layers of white or near-white tulle (can't really tell), top layer embroidered with golden beige, lighter yellowy beige and white for outlines. There is a strip of see-through plasticy material sewn at the top edge of the cups, on the inside. Center gore is also of the same material as the top section but reinforced with a seam in the middle - they have also chosen a heavily embroidered part. They've made an interesting choice with the band here - the elastic is cut at the gore and overlapped at an angle (see photo). Quite clever as it allows the gore start higher than a regular full band bra. Soft side boning, ends tucked under band elastic so they don't poke. Side wing is a single layer of stretch mesh. Three hooks, three rows. Straps are fully adjustable, moderately stretchy. Strap elastic seems pretty thick BUT seems to be prone to popping a thread when under strain. There's a bit of a wave thing going on (see photo). I only wore this bra once, maybe twice. Putting the elastic under strain doesn't seem to do anything now. Maybe it just loosened where it had to? No idea.

Appearance: It's a bra meant to be worn with white or slightly sheer-ish shirts and lighter Caucasian skin tones. It's slightly lighter than the average beige bra, and has a hint of yellowy peach. Beige bows where straps connect to cups. Center bow fell off the first time I wore it. Oops. Floral embroidery on mesh adds an element of interest to what would otherwise be just a beige bra. The embroidery is done in three different tones to create a gradient effect and contrast. It's not necessarily my thing but skin tone bras usually aren't my thing ever, so it's just my taste. For a skin tone bra it's lovely.
