How I love the beautiful pattern of this bra! I really wanted it to work and ordered it a bit prematurely, shipping from overseas, before I even ordered the Lily, which didn't work for me, either. If I'd have waited, I'd have known that the this bra style wouldn't work for me, but I liked the print too much and ordered it anyhow.

I do like that the band is so "sturdy" and it seems like it would be a fantastically supportive bra if it were the right shape for me. Unfortunately, because of how sturdy the bra is, there's no way for me to settle into the bottom of the cup.

Where a 28HH smashes me because there isn't enough projection, the 30HH is fine for projection (there could be a hair more, however), but it's empty on the sides, bottom, and ripples across the top, just slightly. Also, in the 30 band, the wires come up much too high, as does the band into my armpit. The gore is uncomfortable (way too high!) as well. I can certainly fasten the bra tight enough to gain support, but I'm not sure if it would stretch out with more than one wear.

I had thought about a 28J, but I know that the shape still won't be right. I love the fabric so much I had thought about disassembling and reassembling, but that too seems like it's beyond my abilities, and probably not worth it.

All in all, the bra is beautiful, but has too much fabric over the top of my breast, more like a full cup, and my shape is too firm to squish into the cups as they are. Compounded with wires that are much to wide and a dismal fit, it just won't work for me, so it must go to a new home.

This bra is not owned any more
