The Melrose bra was never one of my faves but I had a few over the years as I could get a hold of them pre-loved for very low prices. This bra was in a bra bundle with some other 32K Bravissimo bras. I thought it will be my least fave but it's actually very supportive.
my shape: full on top 3/5, center full, tall and average wide roots
The band feels a bit tight. I have to break it in with an extender. The cups are decent fit on bottom as I have barely any wrinkling. The top section however is not so great on my boobs. This bra ... has a large top section and a low apex. It's best suited to fob shapes. So naturally it doesn't do so well on my fot shape, It does flatten my upper boob and gives a slightly downward pointy shape.
I really dislike this kind of shape. It's a shape that full on top boobs get in full cup bras that are not built for this shape. I actually was so upset I did not want to wear it again and sell it right away. Then on another day where almost all of my other bras failed I put this one on again. What is positive about the bra is it's sturdiness and the good support it gives. I think I will keep this bra and wear it when I'm home around the house under a loose sweater or so. For that it will be okay as there are not too many other fit issues despite the sad shape it gives.

Ooh yeah that shape, I’m not a fan either! I end up with it in bras that are too shallow and I sized up for depth but especially with short roots there’s just no oomph up top! But for house bras I’ll settle too ;)
