There is the cup construction part of this review, and there is... well, the rest of the components.
As to the cup itself, would say this is almost analogous in fit to the HM as it's pure depth-at-wire and appears to be built for very round even shapes needing open top for upper fullness. Which is fanfreakintastic for me, being a literal short semicircle merged to a wide/tall root, carrying most of my breast depth on the outside.
Maybe not so much, for ... all the poor souls desperately searching for THE ONE with firm narrow support, enough projection, containment in the upper region or basic coverage. I mean, it's likely that one ///could//// get a decent fit in this CH if they've got a fairly average or not extreme case of shape & support issues.
Coming 'Out of the Desert' stuck with inner-full Cleo Mimi, and Gorsenia's gorgeous albeit notoriously stingy halfcups... it might be too soon to tell if this is truly the shape I've been after, or just extremely relieving after a lifetime of utter crap (how the hell did I miss out on the whole Masquerade and Mimi thing? Oh yeah NOBODY carries anything even close to a 32 band god forbid higher tha a D cup).
As I've only had CHP's and never had another CH, I can't say whether the generally loose/lightweight/unconforming to the torso nature of the materials comprising its frame/band/strap are more to do with the matchy-matchy aspect that makes the Toffik such a gorgeous beige 'nude', or some other part of the design process at play (strapgate backlash?)
-Toffiks' straps while very long, have nearly no stretch at all and serve as cake icing decoration for my shoulders. Which is fine by mine as these are almost 20" long!
-2 small strips of elastic in the band are pretty much the only things holding this bra near my body, bust, or well being. Given they are far stretchier than my 28" underbust requires, the cups float ridiculously away from my breasts, flopping at the least provocation and sit over the sides slipping about clownishly. Temporary solution of pinning down the back much shorter, and wearing this awkward farce of a band at appropriate length is better, but clearly will be replacing the band altogether with real powernet when it arrives.
- the frame (ie wing to gore parts of band) are also made from the same 4-way beige SUPERSTRETCHY knit sewn onto a base of very fine duoplex with the stretch cut vertically along the wings, and horizontally!? at the gore. This leads me to assume that Toffik's purpose is to fit very squishy bodies with a lot of curve both allowing the inner breast to pull out some space and force the gore to float, as well as let the outer wire point outward away from the body should the breast overflow on that end.
It's pretty ingenious/bizarre when compared to typical bra construction, so pop off I guess.
