Well! I knew this probably would not work for me, but it was so lovely, I decided to try anyway.
The gore is 2cms higher than my 3hcs, so it stabs me in the sternum. I have bent the wires forward a bit and that has put a stop to it.
The whole bra is stretchy, band is by far the biggest I have ever received and the straps go nowhere near short enough.
I have a fair bit of empty space and wrinkling fabric at the top of the cups. I am full on top but petite, perhaps a height issue. I do find if I pull the straps tighter, most of the space and wrinkling dissapears, but some wrinkling seems to be caused by the second layer of fabric at the cup sides, being bigger than the under layer? it causes a crease, which if I pull back the outer layer a little disappers. Quite hard to describe but see photos. I will stitch tighten this layer by stiching it over, by the wire, and I will shorten the straps.
Even with all the fit issues, I bloody love this bra 😂 The lace and trim are beautiful. It gives a natural shape and would be useful for certain types of clothing.
I had no alterations and but wish I had asked for shorter straps, as previous reviewers of this bra have also found the straps too long.
For reference I am full on top, close set, centre full, projected and have narrow roots.
Edit - I have shrtoned the staps and pulled back some of the lace outer cup and stiched it to the wire casing. Easy to do and whilst the wrinkling and gaping is now mostly gone, I have discovered this bra lacks projection! If I scoop, I end up with a lovely space under my imf.
