This review is for the Gaia Sandy Semi Soft, in 70G EU (32F UK), color Pink. My ABTF size is 32G/GG UK. (I thought I was buying UK sizing.) {Update: I've since purchased this in 75H and my review for that is here: http://bra.pe/X4Pm/}

Band:
* Seems TTS, maybe a little snug. Has 2 hooks by 3 columns.

Wires:
* Very comfortable; very narrow at 5.25 inches wide in the 70G.

Cups:
* 3 part cup, balconette. The bottom has one vertical seam and has a very light/thin padding. The top is a continuation of the lace layer that's over the whole cup. The lace layer stretches horizontally but not vertically. The lace has an elastic edge at the neckline.

Straps:
* The straps are fully adjustable.

Fabric:
* The Pink color is very pale, almost white.

Hardware:
* The hardware is matching pink.

About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, full on bottom, short roots, soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.

FIT

* The band length was ok, perhaps a hair snug, but since the cup is a bit small it made the band too tight. I was comfortable with an extender.
* The wires are AMAZINGLY narrow at this size. First time I've had a bra this narrow (including Comexim and Ewa.)
* The gore tacked nicely. It was as narrow as it could be at .75 inches, but if I were keeping this I'd consider overlaying the wires.
* The cups are GREAT for my short roots, full on bottom. If they were a couple sizes up (without being wider) it would be ideal for me. I've since learned RTW bras don't come in those dimensions.
* The straps are long enough but barely, and I'm quite short at 5'4".
* The sides are a comfortable height for me. They are a little short, but I actually like that. My breast tissue doesn't escape out the sides but my squishiness does spill over the top a bit. DON'T CARE.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
* I really could wear this with an extender and NOT scooping and swooping. But, I want perfect and so I'll keep looking. (I put in a fit request at http://bra.pe/Tbt/ showing the bras I'll try after this.)

This bra is not owned any more

  Definitely seems closer! I bet a cup that’s stretchier would help a lot with the volume issue.

• Adler613 - thanks! So I'm definitely going to try the same bra in a cup size up 1 or 2. Plus I might just keep this and unstitch the top elastic. I know damn well this bra is in the wrong size but I have zero wired bras to wear out and I bought it here on bratabase so I didn't pay much.
