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
* axillary skin spillage
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
Cup:
* Does not shape breasts (band provides so little support).
* Wires very narrow.
* Top of cup smooth.
Straps:
* too far apart, slip
* adjust short enough
Assessment and Plan:
* Band provides so little support that it is hard to draw any conclusions about fit, except narrow wires. There were no stretched band measurements on Bratabase for this, so just had to guess.
* Lace is pretty.
* Didn't try other sizes. Not sure why.
* Per the measurements table, a 32DD or 32DDD would be good choices.
