    Fits

    It's hard to fit a small size, wide/shallow cup; this one succeeds on those fronts pretty well, and the cut is what I was looking for to fit particular shirts, so I'm pleased. The seam down the middle of the cup makes it a little pointier than I'd like, but it's not too bad. I can see why some people have complained about the straps; there's some room to expand, but not much. At 5'6", it's enough for me. Might have to destroy with extreme prejudice the bow on the gore, and the lace does show through a thinner shirt (I got "Vanilla ice" which is their closest option to neutral but has white lace), but I think it's a keeper.

    This bra fits great on my shallow breasts. My boobs are too close set for the balconette style though so I sewed the gore closer together and it feels way better. I didn't like the strap design, I wish it was a single, thicker strap, rather than two thin straps on each side. But overall it's a great fit.

    32DD

    Didn't fit

    My breasts are shallow (as in my breast tissue starts up high, not that my breasts have no projection) with narrow roots. The vertical seams and almost horizontal top of the cup are a really good fit for the shallowness, but the wires are too wide for my freakishly narrow roots.

    It is a comfortable bra, though the band doesn't seem to have a lot of give when it's new (this is my 2nd bra of this style, my size keeps changing due to tissue migration). It has softened up quite a bit. The lace and heavy seams makes it not so great under sheer shirts, but it's not ... as noticeable as I thought it would be. How much do I like this bra? I had a 32D before this and now it's been replaced with a 30DDD.

    I wore this bra in a rotation of 2-3 other bras for about 3 months. It was always washed by hand with Forever New and air dried. It's in great condition, but my underbust has decreased by a few inches while my bust has increased, so now the band is way too big and the cups a bit too small.

I ... had this bra, migrated out of it, bought a 32DD, migrated out of it, and now I have a 30DDD. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    I wore this bra in a rotation of 2-3 other bras for about 1 month before tissue migration moved me onto a bigger cup. It was always washed by hand with Forever New and air dried. It's in great condition, barely worn. The only "damage" to it is very, very light brown spots on the underside of the cups where they rested against my antique dresser. I took pics of these spots, but they didn't really show up in the photo.

    It is a comfortable bra, though the band doesn't seem to have a lot of give when it's new (this is my 3rd bra of this style, my size keeps changing due to tissue migration), so I know it'll get softer, and stretch out a little bit. It creaks, but that just makes me laugh.

  6. I have more trouble with filling out the top half of this bra with my smaller breast. Even on the 'better' side, the little lace at the top doesn't want to lie down nicely much of the time. The band is also too big for me, and the gore keeps wanting to dig in a bit too much, but other than that it's fine.

    Bought to wear as a pretty bra, I like it okay. top of the cup gapes a tiny bit, maybe a D would be better?

    Best fitting of my bras. The side boning pokes after wearing all day though, and if you're used to plunges (like I am!) the high gore is not fun. Tempted to buy more however.

    The lace throws me. I have to triple check to see if it's gaping after swoop and scoop but it's usually the lace.

    Due to the stretchiness of the band, I do have to readjust through the day. Its VERY STRETCHY. I plan to do the tiny elastic modification to it to fix that, because I love the cups.

    The shoulder straps were really short for me. Even lengthened all the way out, I they were digging into my shoulders. I am 5'9" and I do usually have to have my straps pretty far out, but this was the only time I couldn't get them long enough.
