Didn't fit
Quick facts about me: Bust: 32.5, Underbust: 28, left perimeter: 7, right: 6.5, I'm wide/widely spaced and shallow
This was kind of a disappointment, but I'm also pretty sure that I got the wrong size. Got this bra maybe 4 months ago (only joined this site this week) after reading that it was good for smaller busts. I'd never really been able to fill out an unlined bra, which I'm assuming is why I bought it. Either that or I was on crazy pills, because looking at it now it sooooo clearly does not fit.
Band fits me pretty well on the tightest hook. I recall it being a little tighter when I got it, but I haven't worn it much so it can't have stretched that much. The main issue here is the cup separation. By my measurement they are 7/8 apart which is still too close for me. The cup width is also an issue. The cup width was 4.5 (which is what I input here) but I bent the wires to 4.75, so please note that that's the measurement in my pics. The cup fits ok on my right (smaller) breast, but I need to loosen the strap almost all the way on the left to keep the gore flat and avoid quadboob on that side.
The nice thing about this bra is that because of the stretch mesh cups, adjusting the straps really can significantly alter the fit of the cup. But sadly the narrowness of the center gore and cups is still too problematic. I think that I probably should've gotten a 32C in order to wear it on the loosest hook and accommodate my left breast, but I'm not confident that the separation/cup width would've been any better. I plan on trying it on in that size next time I go to Azalea's, but I'm pretty sure that this style (like so many others before it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> ) just isn't for me.
