I am reviewing the white Retro Basic.

Too small. *Sigh* I guess I just need to realize that it's time to try a 28F.

It quadboobed both because of size and shape. On my right breast, there's a definite orange-in-a-glass effect, probably due to the wires being too sharp of a U shape. The width of the wires is fine, it doesn't cut and and isn't too wide, but it doesn't follow the shape of my root very well.

The cups give me a conical shape. I'm full-on-top, and I think the top cuts in because I have tall roots. The whole cup feels tight, so the cups are too small as well as the wrong shape. Rather than push my wide-set breasts together, it just squashes them against my chest and into my armpits.

The fabric isn't very pretty either. It looks like a very luxurious satin in the photos, but it feels and looks almost plastic-like. It's a bit scratchy. It's more flexible and holds its shape less than the beige bra photos look.

But the band is very firm. Although the unstretched measurement is almost 24, it only stretches about 5 inches and it feels very stiff when worn. So even though there is only 1 hook, it is a very sturdy band.

I'm sure that if it was a larger cup, it would much more comfortable. But I'm not sure if I'd be ok with the super pointy look.

This bra is not owned any more
