This most recent bra haul (two bras but still) of mine is probably my favorite of all time. I LOVE this bra. Absolutely adore it!

Big round of applause for this bra's cup width being 5.75 inches in a 30:11. That is precisely the cup width I need with my very narrow/borderline omega roots. The wire lines up with about the first vertical inch of my boob perfectly; however, the wires in this bra are also very u-shaped, whereas the bottom of my boobs are more like a very slanted semicircle, so I do get wrinkling from past that first verticle inch down and at the bottom ... of the cup. This doesn't bother me at all, however.

I also really like the SF cup construction. The one BM I have is not exactly a bra I'd want to wear on a very busy, active day, but I was extremely comfortable going on a 30-minute walk with my dog today and felt like I would most definitely choose it for a day where I knew I had to walk for five hours straight or the like. I think, in terms of comfort, I prefer this SF style to the fully padded bras I have, as the SF, in not having such a rigid cup structure, is not holding your boobs in an essentially forced position the entire time you're wearing it. It allows for variability in breast shape is perhaps a better way to say it. The stretch lace on top also works really well for my full-on-top boobs, although there is a little bit of gaping at the straps. Once again, it doesn't bother me.

One thing that kind of surprised me about this bra is that I like the gore. I'm very much a fan of tall and wide gores, and while I wouldn't quite put the gore of the Zenith in that category, I will say that the height is good on me and that the gore, while too narrow, still functions well on me.

I will warn you all, though, that this bra runs very tight in the band. As someone with a 28.5 inch ribcage, this is good for me, but if your ribcage is more like 29.5 or 30 inches, I'd say to try a 70 rather than a 65. Even given that I'm a small 30/65, this bra's band feels like it's just pushing being a tad small on me.

Finally, on the colorway: I can't tell if this is one of those rare bras that looks better in stock photos than on real people or if I'm just not the biggest fan of the colors on my skintone in particular. The pattern is really fun, though, and I like flashing the dark blue straps and multipatterned sides of the bra with my shirts.
