This bra is a bit of a frankenbra. I ordered it with the following alterations:
Added cookie pockets
Lowered gore
Narrowed gore
Overlapping gore
Straps moved in 4cm
Cup height reduced 3 cm
Made using wires of size 65P bra
Overall, these alterations worked really well for me (yielding a narrow and projected bra, with a width of 16.5cm and a depth of 35cm). Unfortunately, I've had a lot of growth lately, and this bra with these alterations fits probably about two or three cup volumes too small for me.
To start with the review: this bra is much softer than I had expected. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting or how its even different, ... but the whole bra just kind of gives off a softer vibe. The bra itself has much more immediate projection than I usually get with the longlines. The biggest downside to the fact that this bra is a longline is the fact that the band isn't long enough to hit the bottom of my rib cage. Since my ribs are flared out, the band rolls up. I wish the band was longer to sit below my bottom rib in the front. The band on this is pretty TTS and comes with a 5x3 clasp. It's hard to say about the cups, since I've never ordered a bra in this size with these alterations before.
I don't like the bottoms as much as I had hoped to. The front of them is basically non-stretch, so they're not super comfortable and everything digs in more than most of their other bottoms. I also think the elastic is firmer. I'm not sure if they also sit at a different spot in the back, or if I just notice it more since it digs in. You do also definitely have to be careful doing the zipper.
Overall, I really like the look of the set but there are some issues with the fit for me
