Didn't fit
I thought this bra fit reasonably at first because it is possible for me to, well, push my breast tissue into it if I bend over and scoop enough. But these are very narrow cups, and the underwire is much too narrow for me. It hits against my breast tissue on both sides under my arms. The wire also comes up fairly high on the sides, so more petite women may have trouble with it. I'm more bottom heavy than top heavy, and the too-narrow cups and underwire force the weight of my breasts to push hard against the bottom of the cups. This forces the straps to hold much more weight than they should. The underwire seems thin to me, which makes the bra feel unstable and weak since it's too small. The straps are not long enough for my lower set breasts, so they dig in badly. They are also too wide set for my relatively narrow shoulders, and fall off constantly.
I really like the shape, lift and forward projection this bra gives. I think it looks like it fits well -- center gore lies flat and everything. It's just that it's really really uncomfortable for me to wear with the underwire digging into breast tissue and and the straps digging into my shoulders. I listed it, but removed it pretty quickly and decided to keep it for now after looking at my photos since I could tolerate it for the length of a wedding or other special event. And I may end up needing it under a dress.
