Really great information here by xiphoid!

I bought this bra at bravissimo in person on a recent trip abroad. I'll be keeping it since its probably the bra that fits me best at this moment but I also have some fit issues: the straps feel slightly too far apart (they sit on the outer edges of my shoulders -- I feel like if I slouch a lot, they'll fall off...although they haven't yet.) The fabric around the band feels very firm but actually seems to stretch throughout the day. I ended up moving to the shortest hook after about 4 hours of wear today after starting on the longest. The gore sits flat on my sternum but the wires to seem to slightly push apart breast tissue which isn't the most comfortable. I feel like if the wires were 2 cm shorter or so close they were touching, it would be much more comfortable.

I will also echo the warning about being careful when flipping the bra over from upside down -- the sudden snap REALLY hurts.

What I'm working with: I'm about average height and build w/ slightly narrow shoulders. My breasts are conical (2/4) but my tissue is pretty firm all around (except around the areola so squishing to be more round feels ok.) As far as I can tell, average projection, spacing is about 1.5 fingers' width.
