Didn't fit

This is my BEST fitting bra. I got it yesterday and only wore it once so far. I ordered it in my regular size and at first, thought the cups were too small because I'm used to full cups in unpadded (but not sheer) fabric - after checking everything twice, it definitely fits - though I'm going to get one in a cup size larger just to make 100% sure and also for that time of the month (which is, of course, now). So keep in mind, I might be a tad swollen at the time of this review https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

I ordered this in candy pink on deep discount. Just FYI, I'm close set, full on top, very projected and very short (my height, that is). I was worried that this bra would be unbearably itchy but it's actually quite nice to wear when it's hot out because it's so sheer! The temp was in the 90s today and I didn't get any boob sweat. I will say though that at the end of the day, the wings of the bra started to get uncomfortable and scratchy on the sides. The band is definitely tight so I wore this with an extender. I didn't want to size up because I read that it stretches out fast.

I know everyone loves the fabric of this bra, but to me it's a con. It feels flimsy! It's insanely pretty to look at but doesn't feel very supportive. There's also a tiny bit of slack? on the sides of the bra (where my breast tissue meets my armpit on the top and sides) where I feel like the fabric could be a little firmer. I'm not sure if that's the cut of the bra or my shape? I feel like it doesn't support that area - although if it were firmer there, I might get more of a torpedo boob shape and bulging armpit fat. (I hope I'm making sense?)

Anyway, the cups fit great - no wrinkling anywhere! The gore tacks but isn't as firm as I'd like it to be - there's maybe a centimeter of give and I prefer it to be so tight it leaves marks (haha). While I was rushing around today I did feel my boobs jiggle more than I'm used to and after inspecting this bra after wearing it all day, I'm afraid the fabric just won't hold up for very long! It already looks like I've worn it a handful of times when it's only been one (albeit, busy and sweaty) day. All in all, I'm happy with this bra but will be looking for something in the same cut but in a firmer yet still stretchy fabric.
