aesthetically this bra is gorgeous- the color is a bit more purple then pictures show, and with the orange embroidery and scallop lace it comes across very regal and almost princess Jasmine-esque to me. the fits is close, but still no cigar.
i can comfortably fasten this 34 on the last hook; i would probably want to go for a 32FF instead to get the band snug enough. the cup width however, feels good, so im not sure if going to 32FF would make them too wide. This is so far one of the only half cups ive tried that ISN'T super wide! more narrow half cups please! ... class="smiley" src="https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
i imagine a 32FF would also have wider set straps, and as with all of the half cups ive so far tried, the straps are already too wide. its not problem if i'm standing still with my shoulders back, but i cant actually wear it like this because the minute i get moving the straps get caught near my underarms, thus pushing the cup forward a bunch and making awful gapes at the top of the cups. on the plus side, the straps are fully adjustable.
the cups on this have one vertical seam, and are molded. i like the rounded shape i get, and there's no cutting on on my tall shallow shape, or folding the the bottom of the cup, yay! i imagine with wash and wear the cups would soften, but as it stands they are a bit stiff and that may be why i get some gaping at the top of the cups near the underarms. The under wire ends a half inch before the channel, so that half inch is empty space. in my try on, i didnt notice any poking or stabbing
the gore on this tacks, but isn't hard or uncomfortable. it seems like it *just* has enough room to lay flat, and many there Cleo's do that too, so im beginning to wonder if im close set? i dont think im going to try this in a 32FF unless its very cheap, as i just cant deal with having straps set so wide!
