The feathers was my introduction to properly fitted bras several years ago. Unfortunately, I have a bit more projection at the root than the feathers calls for, which is ultimately what led me to my abrathatfits journey.
My main issues with the 32DDD are
- how tall the cups are. My armpit creases are red after taking this bra off, and the cups seem to be ultimately too wide as they press into my sides (it hurts after prolonged wear, not as much for a few hours at a time)
- my shape not being suited to a plunge cut. No matter how much I adjust, my larger breast (left) is always spilling inward and down.
- The cup is empty above the nip
I needed a non-stretch extender for many wears, but no matter what the band slides down over time.
I prefer the fit/shape of the 32DD Feathers, however it does feel too open and leads to spillage and the bra migrating down. I tried the 32DDD and while it helped (not solved) with spillage, the cups are too large and not projected enough at the root.
In terms of appearance, it gives a little bit of a triangular shape under clothes, the 32DD gives a more rounded shape

About my shape/fit:
Pendulous. Projected at IMF. Center full. Flared rib cage. Short roots. Average-narrow root width. Soft tissue. Slightly full on bottom. A little wide set.
My recommended starting point was 32DD/E or 34D/DD. I teeter on the edge of both band size and size, depending on time of the month, brand, etc. I would describe my shape as horizontally center full, slightly wide set, lots of soft tissue from weight loss. I think I’m even fullness but functionally full on bottom. I have immediate projection that I need to accommodate, but overall I seem to be fairly shallow-average in terms of projection. My roots are average-narrow width and average-shorter height.
