Well, everything about this bra FEELS like it fits pretty well. However, after I look at my pictures, it looks like I might actually need a cup or two larger and maybe a band size smaller. Oh well! I am pleased with how this one fits so far, and the size was available in the drop-down menu (meaning no special order and no extra fees), so I'm okay with it.
The band....it's pretty stretchy. I didn't realize how much so at first. I could probably fasten it on the last set of hooks (it's got 4 rows woo woo!) But, I'm learning that ... just because I CAN make it tighter/smaller doesn't necessarily mean I SHOULD. I have come to accept that I am all about comfort, and if I have to sacrifice a teeny tiny bit of support, then I'm okay with that. As of right now, the band is very comfy, and as it stretches, I'll just wear it on tighter hooks.
The straps....they are plenty wide enough and fully adjustable. Sure, I wish they were not so far apart, but that's the story of my life. However, I have yet to have them fall off of my shoulders, so that's a definite plus.
The wires....whoa, the most narrow wires I've ever experienced! I'd probably like it if the wires were just a tad bit wider, but I'm not finding any discomfort. It's really nice to not feel like my boobs are coming from under my arms and my back, because they DON'T.
The cups....J cup with only one single layer of fabric! Yes, you heard me! It feels sort of like a stretch lace, so it seems very forgiving (hence why I'm able to squeeze into this bra that is probably too small.)
The shape....fantastic! I really feel like it looks better in real life than what the pics represent, but oh well. It's everything EM is known for -- upfront, rounded, and uplifted shape. The part I love the most is the definite uplift, which is more than what I've experienced in her HP and CHP styles. I have had stretch marks on my boobs ever since I was 10 or 11 years old, and I imagine it is from puberty coming on strong (never wore a training bra -- went straight to a D cup.) This bra gives enough uplift that I don't notice the stretch marks, and that makes it a winner in my book. There are very few bras that I have ever tried that have accomplished this feat. I'm not sure if it would be as great in a larger size, which is why I'm just going to stick with this size when I order another one (also, I'm hoping to lose about 10-15 pounds.)
Comfort.....A+. It just feels amazing and I don't even feel the need to put on my soft cup bra after I get home from wearing it all day. I am sick and tired of bras that have a break-in period. I can't even count the number of bras I've tried in the last few months that just felt like torture, yet I was assured by others, "It will feel better after a few wears and washes." I want a bra that feels good from Day 1, and this bra does that. Actually, all EM bras seem to be like that, which is what has made me a convert. Life's too short to wear a bra that hurts.
