Sooooo... I think this is the best fitting bra I have so far. It's fairly new, and a few days ago I wore it for a couple of hours (just a quick test), but today is the first full day I've had it on. I've noticed a few small issues (I guess my breasts are closer set than I thought - when I'm wearing this, I've noticed the gore at times seems smushed between my boobs), but nothing major that affects how comfortable it is. The wires could be a bit more narrow but they're not as wide as the Fantasie Alex (which was so wide ... it was painful). Not to mention I love the color/pattern, and I have the matching panties too. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'll be taking pictures and measuring after it's washed, but I really can't overstate how much more comfortable it is than my old 34DD Betsey Johnson or my really old 36D Chantelle.

The gore is fairly narrow - the wires are side by side, and all together the gore is less than an inch wide. The print on this bra is beautiful and the light pink lace matches nicely. It's a really nice quality and the fabric is a bit silky, but very sturdy. The band feels like a good medium between firm and stretchy but is still TTS. It's not as firm as the band on my Parfait Charlotte, but it doesn't stretch nearly as much as a Freya (which I can wear a 34 band in and still feel very comfy). It lifts my breasts nicely and gives a rounded shape with a subtle peak. With the straps adjusted properly, they need to sit just a cm or two further in on my shoulders, but I've found that most bras in my size (that aren't full coverage) sit this way. Keeping them straight and not slightly pulled inward, they still rest on my shoulders without slipping off, but it's a bit too close to the edge for my preference. It makes it feel like they're perpetually slipping down; wearing them like this, all day I kept reaching up to pull the strap back onto my shoulders, only to find that they were still where I put them originally. It may just be something I need to get used to, though, as this is the first really properly fitting bra that I've owned.
