She's upper roomy, and bottom clingy, Clara is. One for the super projected and small of root. Perhaps also, the high set and certainly the center full!
Well the bra angels have heard our annual pleas, and Breakout put out a bunch of Comexims down on clearance. For some stupid reason I've been sticking it out with the same main 3 that mostly fit the last half year instead of size up like sane persons do. Once the call came out about a sale in my size range, I swept in on this one with the reckless stupid abandon usually reserved for impulsive children and starving dogs. ... Finally something well and truly stunning! In time for new years! Do I dare assume to be fancy? Would 2023 herald my return to human decency??? Yes, it was decided. Time to be foolhardy.
Who needs to double check how sizes run? Nay not I, and thus caution was thrown way to the side. Take my money, Breakout! Woohoo, visions of classy livid lace danced before my greedy eyes as I snagged the matching undies knowing the thin line of certain disaster my wide, short derriere was dead set on flirting with. What could possibly go wrong with a figure made entirely of contradictory parts? Which rarely if anything, ever fits?
And then suddenly as my fever began, for a piddling meager couple of days I fretted over my folly. Ugh I shouldn't have bought something sight unseen when cups virtually always run tight and tall. Gods help me what if a 60 is too loose? Luckily when Clara came to me I was ready for something, anything, lower cut than eyeball high Panaches which have sufficed and sawed into my armpits for time being.
Out of this recent batch in 60L the Clara feels deeper at the very apex while measuring the same depth as my other new comexims. It's wide but satiny straps are set about average width, sewn to the upper band 8" from the gore. Thankfully there is just enough for my tall shoulders, but just so. The plastic slider is silent but probably prone to adjusting itself too easily. Clara's high quality stretch mesh band is secure on the first hook which for 28 feels impressive, thought I worry with favortism this could wear down faster as this does a basic stretch of 27, and can stretch up to 29ish long. I can very much appreciate that the elastic and mesh are cut to the same amount of give in the band. Because a lot of reputable brands don't bother so the band both digs while riding up, further allowing the cups to tilt to all hell. Tsk tsk.
I've done a lot of hard time in too-tall underwires, where there's no dignity in the red marks left on my sternum and the nasty stabby fat bulging at the armpit (gorsenia u shits give us a decent plunge!). Honestly a very tall wire on the outside always floats up over my side fullness and fiercely aggravates something like lymph, or heaven forbid breast tissue that goes all the way to my shoulder blades. Such is the curse of having a wide flat thin ribcage. Well the wires on Clara should be just big enough to let me seep over them but the cups contain me on the sides fully, and not dig into my under arm or tail of spence either, hence the wires in this style sit firmly and gently along my IMF instead of shanking me in the side like they got beef.
Gore is just narrow enough to tolerate being 2.7" tall, there's plenty of space at my inner lower breast (for now, ominous dum da da dum drum roll). Yes I should've expected an even bigger cup in the same style that wasn't awful before on me, would tolerate my heavy side boob and not squash my lower front breast to bits. But I've been tricked before and learned not to trust anything. Welcome to my world where it usually happens no matter how round and spacious a cup is rumored to fit, anyways. Clara proving herself short deep and voluminous here may mean disaster for the taller and narrow, this could might be a cup that fits too loose starting at about half or 3/4 inch out from the wire.
I guess all that's left to fuss over is the potential for the inner cup lining to be coarser than I like. Even though it's a very fine cotton knit over thin foam, that does quite well with breathing and breaking in softer. And of course keeping this pretty lace from snagging. It's sturdy but stretchy, and as all things fine and pretty prone to catching on stray trinkets at inopportune moments.
