Didn't fit

This model has been my go to bra for the past 6 years. Unless I'm already in pain and especially sensitive to the straps digging in, it's a very comfortable bra. And I love the thick padded straps. But seeing a photograph of myself wearing this bra under clothes recently made me realize how unflattering it is on me and how bad it is for my shape. It just flattens me and pushes my breast tissue down and out to the sides. I get the east-west problem. There is no gaping, and the fabric on top doesn't wrinkle. It just looks odd and flat.

There is also extra space in the side fabric, but the G cup I have tried in this model is too small.

This bra runs a bit snug in the band. It does stretch quite a bit, but this is an older bra that I've had for a very long time. At least now it's too large for me in the band. In the cups, it runs at least 2-3 cup sizes larger than most US H cups and UK FF cups I have tried.

It is also cut extremely high, and I can't wear it with most of my shirts. It comes nearly up to my neck.

This bra is part of the reason I've been reluctant to purchase soft bras. I imagine that everything wrong with this bra on me would be exacerbated in a bra with no underwire. I still haven't found anything that fits very well, though, so I will need to continue using it every now and then until I do.
