My shape: shallow mid-height forward-facing teardrop-profile with lots of immediate projection, low apex, tall shallow upper roots, side-full very wide and shallow side roots, very close-set center tissue, and very firm tissue that doesn't play nicely with other shapes

This review is for the "perfect nude" colorway. It's an ok nude on me, although a bit too dark because of how pale I am.

This bra fits very similarly to my black 65G - Chantelle » Mercy Spacer (1747) , of course. The band feels wider - 3 hooks per column!! - and definitely tighter. It's not especially stretchy, which is nice, but I do feel the fabric creak across the wires when I take a deep breath. It's a "padded" cup the way Freya Patsy's are padded; that is, more like foam-lined for modesty rather than any volume-adding cookies or anything. Unfortunately, it's also thin enough in this case that it doesn't do enough for nipple show-through.

The cups are a little tall and they do cut in some on my tall roots, but it's not too bad. They don't have enough immediate projection, which is fairly obvious in the photos and you can see the fabric buckle at my IMF. The side cups (between the strap and the outer wire) are also too tall/wide and chafe in my armpits.

The center gore is too tall, but that is almost every gore I've ever met. I suspect I have a bit of natural symmastia, which means that any gore will rest on the breast tissue there, but usually it's not so bad that I can't tolerate it. I can tell that this one will get poke-y as the band stretches, though. Chantelle, please stop doing this with your gores. It drives me crazy!

I can wear a variety of wire widths, depending on their height, without being bothered by the narrower ones sitting on my shallow side root, which is a flattened curve (like the Nike swoosh) that reaches almost back to my shoulder blade. This wing is a good height on me because it's tall enough to keep tissue from escaping, and the wire width follows the edge of my primary fullness well enough that I don't notice it.

Ok overall, but not ok enough to be worth the full retail price I was accidentally charged. Back it goes!
