Didn't fit

Pros:
-The length of the underwire worked really well for me. It didn't dig into my armpit and ended just before it hit armpit. As someone who doesn't shave this is great because I'm not accidentally pulling hairs when adjusting the bra because the underwire digs
-The shape is quite nice for well rounded breasts but I'd argue it favors the FoT a bit better because of how it's cut
-Great strap thickness, very supportive, the strap placement is great it doesn't cut into my underarm fat. It also doesn't shift or move around or become adjusted from where you put the adjuster.
-I am a bit narrow but I find the spacing on this bra's center gore is still nice for me

Cons:
-EXTREMELY SHORT/TIGHT BAND. When I measured it unstretched ignoring the curve of the underwire and only measuring in an arc is was 24" if I was being generous. Yes it stretches well but in a way that is painful and not comfortable. It's a tight, strained stretch. Stretched as much as it can go it stretches to about 27.5". I'm genuinely worried it's so small that it's going to cause the underwires to twist in their casing or stitching to pop.
-Cup very clearly runs small and narrow compared to other H bras I've seen presented
-Extremely long center underwire
-Mine had horizontal wrinkling at the base even when the underwire was flush to breast tissue. I believe this is caused by not enough immediate projection for my balloon levels of projection when supported and the fact the cup itself is just so narrow.
-My breasts do leak out the sides. The underwire does properly cup around the side of my breast, the cup itself is just cut a little low in that spot for me.
-The print fabric cuts a little low where it meets the lace so one of my nipples is very eager to say hello to everyone
-Not enough immediate or central projection for me. Given the cup is rather narrow it needs more projection to accommodate my particular breasts. My poor nipples fold in on themselves in tha bra cup. Again I'm pretty sure this cup runs half a size small, maybe closer to a GG than an H.
-The fabric of the band, while stretchy, is a really scratchy poly net.

Fit Nuetral/be aware:
-SHORT straps. I'm 5 ft tall so I'm sort and I still wear these straps at their longest.
-The lace band at the top cupped around my breast nicely but the mesh of the lace (the filler after the frilled edge where it meets the print fabric) didn't get filled. Top cup piece may be a little wonky.
-The way the bows are attached to the bra causes knotting on the underside against the skin which is uncomfortable.
-fabric is a smidge on the scratchy side if you have sensitive skin or nipples
-I don't get the blue underband and the blue bows..it's a black and red bra..who thought powder tiffany blue was the right color to accent it?


My chest for reference: 28H is standard for me. I have settled borderline pendulous breasts with forward facing nipples. (When supported, my boob fat settles which can cause my upper breast to slightly deflate). Slightly FoB but relatively even in fullness. Slightly lower set breasts, wide roots (breat tissue starts under armpit). Splayed breasts slightly close set (nipped do not point in opposite directions, they are still front facing on my breasts due to the excess breast issue on the outer sides). High central and immediate projection when supported. Very squishy ribcage. Narrow shoulders. Barely 5'1" height.
