Amazon Prime Wardrobe: Swimsuit Edition! (Where I order bras/bikinis available on Amazon Prime Wardrobe to try on and add more data to Bratabase!)
My shape: FOB, projected, soft tissue, narrow shoulders

I had a heck of a time measuring the cup depth on this one! It seems a lot deeper towards the top, but I think it's mostly because of the different mesh fabric. The bottom 3/4 of the cup is a padded stretchy swimsuit material, and the top 1/4 is a mesh stretchy fabric with an edging of black elastic to hold it closer to the breast. On my larger breast, I had some quadding because of the elastic ... there. Even though this top is a cup size larger than my usual, it still gave me some quadding; it's shallower and wider than I am used to.

The bikini itself is cute, if sort of forgettable. The mesh detail is a nice touch. There is a dart along the bottom edge of each cup, and the cups themselves only have one vertical seam along the middle and one horizontally across the top where the mesh fabric starts. The padding of the bikini isn't sewn all the way across the top, so technically, with some skill and patience, you could remove the padding and have a soft cup bikini. It would be very thin, and very revealing if you got cold, however!

Personally, Curvy Kate bras and swimsuits tend to be a big shape mismatch for me. I wanted to try some of their suits anyways, because why not?
