My shape is low set, narrow and short rooted, soft and slightly pendulous.

This bra was a good deal from eBay, so I decided to give it a try. I didn't really need another beige bra, but it looked like it could fit well, so here we are. The bra is a 3 part half cup with decent apex projection and moderate projection at the wire. The bra is beautiful actually, with finer detailing along the straps, cup edge, and gore that give it something extra. The lace stops around the wing and doesn't extend all the way to the clasps, which is always a shame. The band is ... true to size and feels secure...not too stretchy in my humble opinion. I pulled until the cup started to distort. There are 3 X 2 sets for hooks. The straps are wider than average, which is great for extra comfort and support. They adjust fairly easily, and the ribbed edging on the straps keeps them from slipping. The cups measure 15 cm and are great for my short roots. I do get a slight bit of bubbling on my larger side (and it's low tide), and there is not a ton of space for centre fullness, but I am still held in. The gore isn't too tall, which is good because the gore width was a whopping 3cm. If it came any higher it wouldn't have worked for me, because it would have been sitting on breast tissue. The wings are too short for me, and I feel like I had side boob escaping. The cups measured fairly narrow also, but I like my bras to have a slightly more U shape to them so they hold my boobs in more securely on the sides (my soft tissue squishes out if the cups are too wide or the wires are not shaped right for me). The bra itself, as mentioned, has some beautiful lace detailing, but the material itself feels just slightly cheaper compared to my Comexim bras (for example). The bra arrived quite wrinkled, but I'm sure it'll be fine after a wash or two.

Edited to add: So after wearing this bra, I noticed that the spot at the back where the straps are connected to the bra itself have a plastic ring that squeaks when I move. Not ideal. My boobs settled into the bra so there's no bubbling while I wear it, but I do have side boob escaping. I also noticed that the edges of the straps have scalloping and it's a bit sharp with wear, irritating my skin slightly (hope this lessens with a wash and wear).

Overall, pretty bra with good shape, good comfort, and decent quality.
