i received this bra in a giveaway from a generous user here on bratabase! i was pretty sure this bra wouldn't fit me right without an extender- but i wanted to at least try since the cup width and depth looked promising, and the altered overlapped gore sounded like just the thing id been after. i was mostly looking to see if this could be a bra i'd be able to alter to fit me, since the bones of it looked about right. it seems like the cup proportions always look good in a 30Gish size, but of course then the band is too small. i cant seem to find any 32FF/34F bras with these proportions!

as i expected, i do need an extender and that skews the straps a bit on the back half. on the front half theyre actually not too wide which is nice. otherwise the extender inst uncomfortable, so that alone wouldnt be a huge issue. the overlapped gore looks great and solves the issue i generally have of the two sides of the gore trying to flip on each other.

the cups are perfect in width (wooo!) and i fill out the bottom wonderfully. on the down side, there is the gaping/quadboob combo i usually experience in 3 piece cups. ive got tall breasts, and im beginning to think its my low apex that causes the gaping and not that i'm shallow (aka my nipple sits lower than most bras are designed for). in this bra its mostly gaping, and if i pinch the excess space at the apex and top, it pulls the top edge of the cup flush and looks like it will cut in.


i will probably see if i can alter the cups on this to work better for me, without having to permanently change the bra. if it looks too daunting, i will likely pass it on to another person to have a go at it. as it is now, i cant wear it because the fit issues are pretty obvious under clothing, but i hope to change that!

This bra is not owned any more
