I have wide, even breasts with tall, shallow roots.

This material the outer cup is lined with is so soft! I can't stop touching it when I first put on the bra, lol.

This bra is shallow and runs about a cup size small. The 30E fits my 28E breasts pretty well, with some minimal gapping at top. The top of the cup has some lacey-esque trim, which makes it show through some of my tight tops--this means it may not be the best choice for a t-shirt bra, depending on the outfit.

Wow! I'd ruled Cleo out for my shallow wide rooted boobs, after trying several on in Bravissimo over the last year. I've tried Meg bird print which is gorgeous and Lily (stunning!) but they were just sooo wrong for my shape that I almost wept. I wrote Cleo off as pretty, but just seriously incompatible with my shape. However, I recently realised that my previously perfect fitting 30DD Deco half cup and Ashlee half cup were now giving me undeniable quad boob and the bands have stretched out quite significantly, so much so that the Deco half cup is unbearable on certain days due to constantly ... having to lift my straps back up, grrr!
I realised I'd gone from having a handful of well fitting smooth tshirt bras that I wear to work to having just one decent(ish!) bra, and therefore needed to get some more straightforward simple moulded bras. I found this badboy on Amazon for £7.50 in a 30E and thought it was worth a go. I also bought a Neve (not good...the only bra I've ever actually tried that was TOO SHALLOW for me!) but that went straight back.
So....what a shocker, Maddie fits BEAUTIFULLY! I was worried it may be too deep a cup for me and possibly too narrow wires (the 30DD Cleos I've tried, whilst being v.different styles to Maddie, have always had too narrow wires). But it's spot on! In a 30E the wires are perfectly wide, there's no gaping at all at the top but no quad boob either. My days of too long straps are over - the Maddie straps are sooo short! I wore it today with the straps the loosest they could go, and it was perfect, they didn't budge!
The band is fairly snug, and I'm really hoping it stays that way and doesn't stretch out too quickly.
It's a fairly nice looking bra, I wish it was a different colour, but hey ho, a perfectly fitting functional bra for £7.50, I can't really complain! (but if this style came in purple...ooh or a dark green, woah, it'd be STUNNING!). Top notch, v.impressed. Very comfortable, literally the stuff bra dreams are made of!

Love this T-shirt bra! Very comfortable, gives a really nice round shape and looks great under a T-shirt. Band is a little too loose and stretchy, but I live with it, maybe I'll sew it sometime. The cup is a teeny bit big, I do get gapping on the top after a few hours of wear. I would like to try going down a band size and maybe cup size, but if I wear a tank top underneath the gapping effect is eliminated so I keep wearing it.

This is a very nice, simple bra. It was just a bit too shallow for me. I wanted to be able to keep it.

I bought this Maddie after measuring "correctly"for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn't measure correctly! Lol. The cup is too high, and too open. The straps are too wide-set and cut into my underarm area. The strap seems decent enough for tightness, although I do use the middle hooks. I think I bought this one on sale and it didn't come in 28E, which I would like to try at some point.

After purchasing another Maddie in 30DD, I realized all my fit issues with this one had to do with the fact that it simply is too big for me. I am pretty happy with this cut, in the correct size, of course!

I just got this in the Raspberry colorway, so I'll update if anything changes, but for now, this bra just made me so, so, so happy! I've been struggling to figure out what the heck my shape is - decently projected FOB, but tall, wide, and very shallow on top, most balconnets that are *supposed* to work for me cut into my higher up tissue. Not Maddie!!! Somehow it even fits both my bigger AND smaller boob! (It's about a 30DD and 1/4th vs my larger E lol). I regretfully went to Victoria's Secret last weekend attempting to find some 32DD T shirt bras and had a miserable experience that ended with multiple associates in my fitting room telling me longer underwires didn't exist and "every bra will fit if you're in the right size" and was starting to feel like I was imagining my whole bra size revolution. Maddie has restored my faith. I'll be getting multiple colors.

Aside from my new Polish CH Onyks, this is my favorite bra ever. I love the moulding of the cups and support and cleavage it gives. After 16 hours of a wear it does get a bit bothersome, but normal day-length wear is great. Cups are filled without gapping or quadding, although if I wear a compression tank I'll get a little quadding. Low-cut although a fairly high gore, so not good for plunge necklines (I wish this had a plunge gore).

I've never had the Maddie in a size that works and while I could definitely use a 28F, this bra is a really good fit for me! The band is surprisingly snug right now and the cup size is perfect for me!
I love that it doesn't show under clothes and how well it pushes the ladies up higher and front¢er! I am definitely keeping this bra!
