Didn't fit
I feel like this bra was made for someone with higher set breasts than me. When I first fastened it (without scooping and swooping) the bottom of the bra actually laid across the middle of my breasts, just below the nipples. After adjusting it, I figured that the underwires would be a problem under my arms, as it was poking me slightly. Funny enough, when I wore it the next day, I barely even noticed that. However, the center gore was definitely not the right shape for me. I've got rather close set breasts, that are possibly also a little splayed (My reason for thinking that is that braless they hang sideways rather than down), so I definitely had a gore shaped indentation in my cleavage/sides of my boobs when I took it off. The straps were definitely at the very edge of my shoulders, didn't slip off, but it's not the sort of bra I'd be able to wear a sleeveless top with. It's funny that I have so many issues with a bra that I actually quite like, but I'm almost done talking about those, and then I'll get to the stuff I like about this bra. I didn't list this bra as riding up in the back, even though it kinda felt like it was, because it felt as though the whole bra wanted to ride up, instead of just the band. However, given as the front was weighted down, it didn't really go anywhere. Alright, now on to what I liked about this bra. It's absolutely adorable! I mean, seriously, cutest bra I've ever owned. I fell in love with it the day I first saw it. There are buttons on the gore, the print is great, and the colours are some of my favourites. Not only that, but the fabric it's made out of is incredibly comfortable. The inside of the cups feels kind of foamy, but not in a bulky way, in a soft, embracing sort of way. Also, it's hard to tell from the pictures, but the straps, top of the cups, and top of the wings are actually pinstriped, and not just solid green which I love. I'm still planning on wearing this one regularly, as the issues it presents don't bother me too much.
Side note: I'll get pictures and measurements up once I find my measuring tape/camera memory card/reader
