Gambled and lost on ordering this from the UK (where return international shipping costs seem to be more than what I paid for it) since I've been lucky with some other CK's fitting ok. (I still cant find anything like that High Hope) I suppose this is the difference between their padded plunges and Balconette/Balcony style. Since I'm very projected and probably need to resign myself to only ordering the Polish brands, this fits the normal UK style of being far too shallow and far too wide of a cup for me. Like many other UK bra's I've tried, this seems to be designs far enough apart cups ... that the gore doesn't sit between my breasts because they are too close together. and I spill out in the middle instead of filling out the sides of the cup. Straps were a little far apart for me, but in UK bra's I'm starting to kind of expect that too unless it has a multiway option.
I almost wonder if it's just a shape mismatch or if the cups may run a bit small. Hard for me to tell because I think my apex is 2.5 inches further toward the center while this cup is for someone more normal or East/west separated than me.
A little sad this one didn't fit. It's a cute 3 part constructed cup and feels very quality made, even compared to the CK padded plunge that does fit. There is some nice- almost like a soft lace- detailing at the top of the cup, but it doesn't stick out 3D enough that I could see it under a shirt.
Quality seemed excellent. Comfort is hard to tell with this much of a shape mismatch, but would probably be good on someone it fit. At least it wasnt a mismatch that hurt or stabbed anywhere. Appearance, it's really cute, but with me falling out the middle I couldn't really wear it out and about.
Since it would cost more than to return than it would to throw away, I'm debating using this as my dressmaker's dummy's chest or if I want to sell it on here. (I could get "D" cups to add to her for $15 and not even close to the right shape or volume, so this isn't really a bad price for a bigger cup if I stuff it. I kind of want the right shape and size more than this is though, so I think somebody else may get a shot at this bra.
