Gives a slightly pointed shape, much more than most bras today, but definitely not pointy enough to be a bullet bra. Gives some structure to my soft tissue, though a bit more structure would still be helpful. Bottom of the gore tacks well but the top is pushed out slightly because there is not quite enough structure to prevent my soft tissue from forcing it outward as my tissue tries to pool in the bottom of the cup. But I have this problem with multiple high-gore bras and it is not as severe as usual with this one.
I can jump up and down in this bra with very little bounce. It's more supportive in that way than any sports bra I've ever owned. I saw an Amazon reviewer mention using this as a sports bra and I think it would work well for that.
It works, but that's about all I can say for this bra. I'm sure if properly fitted this would be a wonderful bra for someone. Where I live going to a store and getting a bra in my size just doesn't happen. This was the closest thing I could get to work even though it is way outside of my size range. It is definitely a workhorse bra (seeing as how it can hold me together). Straps are short evenly when fully extended. Side under wires dig in when new but when its worn in that doesn't cause a problem.
Grossly mis-sized in this now, but when it fit, it was an okay support bra. Gave a very pointy shape and large amounts of coverage. The boning in the sides poked a lot, despite the band being quiet stretchy, and I felt like the wires themselves came up very high, and poked into my armpit. In my opinion, a very ugly bra as well.
This bra truely doesn't fit, but at the time when I bought it I thought it did. The cups are too small but not noticably so under a shirt. It is very comfortable, though. It comes up very high on the boobs, so it's really only appropriate to wear underneath high cut tee shirts. It is also quite ugly, and is a pretty typical "grandma bra".
This bra stretched out very quickly. When I got it a couple of months ago I could barely fasten it on the first hook. It was snug, but comfortable. Now I have to fasten it on the tightest hooks, and can do so easily. The wires poke at both the underarm and the sternum.
This bra gives a very flattened appearance, almost like a sports bra (but it isn't one!) It's considered to be a minimizer, which might be why. I hate the silhouette it gives. About the only thing I use it for is as a substitute sports bra or on laundry day.
