There appears to be two versions of this bra-one without black lace trim across the top, and one with it. This one came from Breakout Bras, and does have the black lace trim.
The bra itself is a standard Comixim padded plunge without any customizations. Mine came with the outer fabric being at a looser tension than the padding, just like the Andromeda bra. This means that the fabric wrinkles on the cups even with them being a bit too small.
As for fit,
The gore is 2.5 fingers off the sternum, and the cups are a full fit with center spillage and minor quadding but completely doable. The band ... feels good and comfy on the middle hook set which is nice. While my rib measurement is the same, I have gained about 10 pounds-mostly in my belly, so a looser hook set is more comfortable with the slouch wire base cut ins.
I find it odd that this one measures larger in the cup than the Queen of Hearts 30KK, but fits smaller for sure. I’m not sure if it’s just the wider set straps on QoH or if the cup/gore height needs to be between the two for a better fit.
I can tell that there is not enough center room in the cup near the gore and not enough immediate projection, so the compression below feels odd.
And for the technical aspects:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.
The band measures 22” and stretches to a max of 29”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops. A bit big for a true 28 band, but not really outside the normal range.
Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.4”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 15.25”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

That shade of green tho! Looks great on you. I’ve had this one on my wish list for a while. I’m sad to see the outside fabric ripples. My Basic does that and drives me absolutely insane. It’s also such a gamble with Comexim size. My last Basic I went up to a 70 band because the previous 65 fit exactly like the 60. And the 70 ended up being truer to size in the band lol. Also my 70GG Basic measured depth very similar to my Queen of Hearts even though it’s supposed to be a cup larger, it just comes up taller in the cup and under the arms.
