The S Diament Multiway in this cup range is a 4 part construction, with three vertical panels on the lower half and an upper horizontal section. It fully padded and also comes with extra pads/cookies for asymmetry or if you want that extra oomph in your wardrobe https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> [I personally did not use the cookies because I was quadding when I wore them]. A pair of thick comfort straps are supplied. Which I can attest are comfortable however, they are not fully adjustable due to their nature, so if you're short, you may have some problems with that one. The bra also ... comes with three regular straps (I suppose two are for the cross-back and one is for the halter style?). I will say however, that the straps do not seem up to the regular EM quality and they feel rather thin and it is not what I've come to expect from the brand.
Both the minimum and maximum cup depth were taken for this bra, but I usually add the maximum cup depth in the measurements table. These were measured at 14.5 inches and 12.3 inches respectively. The maximum cup depth was measured by stretching the cup over the knee and the minimum cup depth by hovering the cup between the knees and hanging the tape measure and recording that value. I should probably mention that measuring the cup depths were a bit tricky. for me, when it comes to a padded bra, so there is some room for error here.
The band measures 23 inches not stretched and 27.5 inches stretched. This is also probably one of the few bras I can hook on the last hook (the least tightest one) without any issues. Yaaaay. As with all EM bras, there are four columns of hooks.
I was hoping (even though I expected it not to) this bra could double as a strapless (I know, I know, it was not advertised as such, but hey...it could have been possible) but I wouldn't recommend it. This bra, gives an incredible amount of lift at the bottom section (maybe because of the 2 vertical seams plus the padded nature of the bra?)...but it kinds of just leaves the upper part to flop wherever it wishes to, I guess that's in part due to my soft tissue..lol..this is why the straps comes in handy. To help give that section some structure. I must say there isn't any noticeable quadding, which i consider a win, well as long as i don't force tack. But let's face it, that gore is not going to be tacking any time soon. It's a common issue with my bras, so I mostly ignore it.
I also notice, that when compared to the unlined bras, there's a whole lot more uncovered tissue..so what this means is that you can expect some jiggling at the top..the bottom section is quite firm and holds the breast in place however.
One odd thing about the fit that I've noticed with a preliminary try-on however, is that towards the side/corner/near to the straps..but not the strap gap..if that makes any sense..there is some amount of empty space. I don't see if I'm standing regularly, but it does appear at times. I could always put in the pads, but then I'll be quadding. I haven't worn it for any length of time to determine if this will be a problem..but for now it's fine, I guess.
I ordered this bra through MagdaBras4you and her service, as always, was good (^_^) . She kept us informed every step of the way

Thank you for mentioning the flimsy straps now used. I am glad it's not just my imagination!
The side view looks amazing. The front view makes me worry you'll fall out. 😬
