ABOUT THIS BRA
This is an unpadded, seamed, half cup, underwire bra with upper stretch lace.

Purchasing:
* $44.61 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* Available in black, beige, hot pink, teal, and navy.

Band:
* One layer of stretch mesh.
* Extra wide bottom elastic (1.8cm or 11/16").
* Wing support: seaming.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* smooth elastic with outer ridges
* soft (don’t stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* leotard back

Cups:
* 2-seam (3-piece) half cup
* unpadded, average strength underwire
* Inner top edge of cup is edged with elastic. Outer cup edge is non-stretch seaming.
* Top panel is stretch lace (unlined).
* All other panels are constructed of non-stretch mesh over a non-stretch, semi-opaque knit.
* Soft cups (no padding or molding).


ABOUT ME: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* average-set (one finger 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


FIT DETAILS

Band:
* length: stays in place with wear BUT top is loose (so outer end of wire is unsupported)
* wings: height good

Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

Straps:
* Very wide set. Slip. The strap-cup junction is nearly in my armpit.
* Adjust short enough.

Cups:
* Wires enclose tissue nicely AT FIRST, but tissue migrates backwards almost immediately because end of wire is loose.
* Smooth line at top of cup on larger breast. (Small wrinkles on smaller breast – acceptable.)
* Bottom of cup filled (not too shallow).
* Too deep: apex of cup empty and too high.
* Give a wide, oval shape.
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence.

Assessment & Plan:
* Stop trying half-cup styles. The straps are too wide-set for my petite frame -- slip and cut into tail of Spence.
* Would recommend this style for FoT breasts that are on the shallow side of average projection (not shallow and not super projected).
