I wish this bra worked for me but sadly it does not. I find the wires just under my boobs to be very uncomfortable, and I can't get it to sit properly in the IMF. I need more immediate projection than this bra can give me. The gore does not tack on me, it's not very sturdy so I think that also has something to do with it, but since that's hidden under the cloth-part I would have overlooked that if the rest of the bra was comfortable.

The wires are also very wide.

The band is on the tighter side so I had to wear extender. Maybe in a 36J I would have found this to be more comfortable but I think it's a shape issue in the end.

I like the look of this, although I'd prefer a single color over stripes because it's more versatile to wear peeking through low cut tops. the band curls up and I tried to fold it like alisa had showed me how she did, but I couldn't get it to stay that way, I think my fat roll didn't approve. I like the straps they are very soft, although because of that I had trouble adjusting them. The inside bra is okay fabric, not scratchy or anything like that, and the top-fabric is very soft.

It has 3 rows with 4 hooks, so if you need an extender maybe that's tricky. If you don't want a super snug band I would size up.

If your shape fits into this bra I think it's probably a very good bra, but for me it doesn't work https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

• :( So sorry my recommendation didn't work.
  I have 4 hook extenders I once got for an diy project. They can be found on ebay or I could send you one. They come in hand with Arla as I find my 32 bands too tight. It runs runs than other styles. I can see that the wire is too wide on you - maybe the tight band distorts it and makes the cups appear shallower than they are? I def say if you ever give it another chance size up to 36 band.
  Do you have V shape, A shape or straight ribcage? That also can have an impact. I also have upper belly fat roll but the band caused no issue. My ribage is more A as I 'm smallest at underbust and my waist is wider than my underbust.

• argh cannot edit my comment :S I meant: "the 32 run *smaller than other styles."

• alisa Well I tried it with 2 2hook extenders aswell, just to see, but it didn't really help with the wires.

  I'm not sure about the ribcage, I've never really thought about it. Probably V or straight, maybe a bit more V?

  I tried all the bras I got with extenders too just to see, I am breaking in the Allie with an extender (I just needed 1 extra row for it though, so don't think I'd get that in a 36 at least :P) This one yeah I think 1 band up would be better. But I think it's just a little wonky shape for me. Like the bra on the inside fits awful :/

• No don't size up if you don't need a full extender. I notice that even my ribcage fluctuates :S Sometimes I have to wear Arla with extender... on another day it felt good without and so on. :S
  Do you keep the Allie? :)

• Yes I keep allie, I've worn it twice going out for just a couple of hours. It's very comfortable so far. I love it :)
