Didn't fit
First off, this bra is gorgeous. Unfortunately, I am not sure this style works well with my breasts.
The straps are set fairly wide apart, and the cups do not give me the lift I would like--the cups seem to simply hold my breasts, instead of supporting and lifting them. I have heavy breasts though, so that may be a tall order.
The cups may also be too shallow for me, as my breasts seem to push the material on the cups down (causing some wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, and pushing the underwire lower) and spill out over the tops of of the cups.
The band is fairly tight and tends to flip up at the back, but I know a larger band size would be too loose for me. It does seem to become more comfortable with wear, and would perhaps loosen enough over time that it would no longer flip up like this.
Lastly, the underwire is too short and not wide enough to fully enclose my breasts on the sides. Unclear if this would change if I went up a cup size.
Overall, it's a beautiful bra--the style just doesn't seem to agree with my breast shape.This bra is not owned any more
