Didn't fit

My favorite bra ever!
Great shape to dress up or go out, since it's the vintage, torpedo shape (rare find in large sizes like mine).

Biggest problem is the squeaky wires (at both ends of both wires). Most of my cacique bras squeak and I fix them by cutting a small hole at with end of the channel and inverting a sharp, metal nail file to rough-up the ends of the wire.

What makes under wires squeak?

Another problem (that I, like many, ignore) is that the center gore doesn't lie flat.

    What happens if you push the gore to your chest?

  • Nothing much... the stretch-lace at the top of the cup stretches a bit more.
    When I push the gore down on other bras, it creates (or worsens) quad-boob.
