Didn't fit

I was super excited for this bra.
I figured since I had a Le Mystere 32E, this might work.
Granted, that bra hardly works for me.
The cup depth is good, but I have to wear the bra on the last hook to stay scooped and supported. Should expect that for a 32 I suppose, especially when I'm measuring 29".

I'd really like to try this bra in 30E, 28F, or the sister sizes (30F,28FF) of this bra.
This fits VERY nicely and looks great, but I'm concerned that won't last long.
I initially tried this on and couldn't stay scooped, and the cups were thusly too large.

I'm unsure if the band on this is stretched from previous wear, or if this model normally just has a larger band.
If so, I'd like to look at 28F/FF.

Anyway, this gives a really nice, rounded shape. Great for an unlined bra. I also love the design. And color. I dated someone who hated all things black (my wardrobe was all black) so I regrettably threw away all my black bras and everything else.
Granted, they were 34B so I couldn't/wouldn't wear them now anyway. But I miss them regardless, and am super happy to have a nice, black bra again.

I still need the 30E/F or smaller band wise, seeing as I need to use the last row of hooks, but this will do well for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

As far as I can tell, this should do well for narrow to average roots, some projection, and even shapes.
I'm not sure for purely FoB or FoT people. I can see FoB having trouble with the fixed mesh shape, up top. I'm very shallow on top though, and fit into a cup size larger than my usual.
Purely FoT may have trouble, again, with the fixed mesh shape.
This bra is unlike any other I've tried, so I have a hard time giving any more advice as I'm just learning.
My own shape should be FoT to even, but I'm really shallow only up top, projected in the middle, and fit better into bras that suit bottom fullness. Learning this has made making reviews super confusing for me to add any recommendations, so I apologize in advance.

I also am unsure about the wires. For me, and for a 32E, these wires are narrower than many other 30F/32E's I've tried on, but they're very...straight? Kind of like a wide cereal bowl, as opposed to a Japanese tea cup, "U" shape.
So, these wires are probably for average roots, and they may work for wide, but this bra somehow works for me even though I need narrower wires. I guess because they don't come up towards my armpits like most other wide wired bras- that may be why it works.

The center gore is also not very wide. This would probably be good for boobs that need closer set wires. They don't touch, but they JUST don't touch. There's like a centimeter or two in between the wires where they don't touch.

Otherwise, that's about all I have to say about this bra in this size.
