I ordered this to be a longline instead of a regular plunge, and added the little C charm (My first initial is a C lol!) but other than that there are no other alterations. I ordered a 60L, but I do think that I might need a 55M/L with narrower wires for more projection next time. I believe this to be a sign that I have graduated from 60 to 55 comexim bands (this checks out as I now need a 60 in Ewa Michalak bras, and her bands run very tight). My snug underbust is just under 26”, and my loose underbust is 27”. This band is ... VERY stretchy! I already need to have it on the tightest hooks to provide adequate support, and even then the gore does not tack properly.
This 3HC is wayyy too shallow for my shape; the wires extend much too far past my roots, and there is slight quadding and discomfort in the centre of the cups due to it lacking projection. I also cannot get the wires into my IMF as this bra lacks the immediate projection required to do so. Therefore, my breasts push out the underwire and cradle at the bottom, the gore doesn’t tack, and the band has a tendency to ride up. I need to tighten the straps to God Himself to get proper support which is the #1 sign the band is not snug enough. Overall, I think even if the band and cup fit I would not get the best support due to the weaker wires. It’s sad because I absolutely am in love with this print, the floral embroidery is everything I need in life & I like the “held in” feeling I get from a properly fitting longline bra. Overall, I think if I could go back in time I would request MUCH stronger wires, a 55 band, and the wires for a 55K bra plus the cups for a 55M/L.
