My shape: full on top, tall average to narrow roots, lots of center fullness
I just put this bra on because another bra was annoying me. Spoiler alert: after I finished to write this review I will change into another bra. So first off, this bra is discontinued and I found it on ebay. It's cut is old Bravissimo pointy cut famously represented on Dotty Spot. It gives a super pointy shape, the top section is kinda flat and really tight so it gives the dreaded Elf-Shoe shape (especially on fot boobs).
Pics 1-4 were taken 1 month ago when I was 1/2 cup size smaller and 2 cm smaller in ribcage. The bra band is very tight even for the size. I cannot even wear a normal extender anymore, I need one of those stretchy ones to close the bra. It only stretch to 29 inch and my comfy ribcage currently is between 31 and 32!

Pic 5 shows current quadboob situation. Since the cups are quite tall it's not giant quadboob, but when I *try* to scoop all breast tissue in these cups, there is so much pressure from the top section and it cuts in on remaining breast tissue. If the cups were more open on top, the cup size could even fit me, but with this construction it's painful to wear at my current size. It feels like wearing a bullet bra and the shape kinda reminds of it. I cannot make it work for me.

This bra is not owned any more

  The color is lovely, pity the bra doesn't work for you. I do not think I heard of "elf shoe shape" before, made me chuckle (sympathetically!) a bit.

• I think I read the term on Bras I hate and love blog first :D

• It was a Bravissimo bra that she mentioned too: http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-bravissimos-current-offerings.html?m=1

• The infamous Bravssimo Bubbles bra, also Bravissimo Ditsy Blossom Bra (SB22) gave this shape. So weird why this happens on some bras but others like Bravissimo Candy Bliss Bra (LN173) which is also an older cut gives a round shape.

  ...do they still sell any that give the elf shoe shape?

• brightslightlight no this bra is from 2015 colleciton I found it cheap on Ebay. Newer Bravissimo bras have different (improved) cut.
