ABOUT THIS BRA
This is a molded, lightly lined plunge bra with top stretch lace.

Purchasing:
* $68 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns
* Not available with Amazon Wardrobe.
* Available in black, white, four shades of beige (including the purchased shade “Truffle”), and navy. (Other sizes have more color options.)

Band:
* One layer of stretch mesh with a lace overlay.
* Wing support: no seaming nor boning.
* Full band - band is straight beneath wires.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

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

Cups:
* 1-seam (to attach top stretch lace), apex area is seamless
* plunge
* No special side support.
* unpadded, soft underwire
* Inner top edge of cup is edged with stretch lace (no seaming or edge banding). Outer cup edge is elastic that continues to the top of the band.
* Rest of cup is stretch mesh.
* Structure comes from thin, molded foam sandwiched between two layers of a smooth, opaque, stretch knit.


ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* wide roots (extend to 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 (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)


FIT DETAILS

Band:
* length: stays in place with wear, nice and snug, comfy
* wings: way too short, armpit quad boob that then gets pinched between band and arm

Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

Straps:
* Feel wide-set but don’t slip with movement.
* Adjust short enough.


Cups:
* Wire sits on last wisps of axillary breast tissue AT FIRST, but more tissue migrates backwards with movement. (Wires can’t keep breast inside cup.)
* Top of cup: smooth line.
* Top of cup: too short, nipple escapes – nipple is only held in by the stretch lace overlay, not the molded cup
* Bottom of cup: wrinkles or gaps (not enough immediate projection at wire). Wire pushed down to find more cup depth. Cannot even force wire into IMF b/c so very shallow.
* Cup apex: not deep enough and doesn’t match my natural apex (too low and wide) – breasts moving to center to find more space
* Side view: flat, rounded
* Front view: wide (east-west), tiny cleavage
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence. Ouch.


ASSESSMENT & PLAN
* Band fits, cups to small all over (too narrow & not deep enough).
* Try +1 cup size (US 32G).
