Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares
Band:
* length: way too big
* wings: too short, boobs escape
* no axillary skin spillage
Gore:
* tacks
* height fine
* separation fine
Cups:
* gives a wide, oval shape
* cups too narrow
* smooth line at top of cup
* wrinkles at bottom the cup (not enough immediate projection at the wire)
* fit was too bad to judge projection
Straps: (did not try racer-back option)
* too far apart (slip)
* adjust short enough
Comfort & Fit Summary
* band too big
* wings too short
* unflattering oval shape
* narrow cups
* not enough immediate projection at the wire
* straps slip
* This style was recommended for wide roots, but isn't. Thus, not worth trying other sizes.
