*this is a bra i purchased in an order from Amazon that i intend to return, so i haven't worn it aside from trying it on for this review and measurements. i cant give an accurate idea of how it fares in real life.*

first off: though i bought this through amazon, I'm fairly certain it has been used. it arrived here with no hang tag, some small (cat maybe?) hairs in the mesh, and faint dark spots with piling on the gore and piling with white marks near the underarms. the tag also seems a bit faded. i didn't notice any of these things at first, but then ... i noticed the faded tag and investigated further. as such, im not entirely positive the band length hasn't been stretched out a little. fingers crossed amazon believes me and lets me return it!

Onto the bra: i like this cut, its all vertical seams so A+ for me. the design is pretty, its a neon melon-y sort of orange with a subtle check print mesh overlay on the cups and another different check print on the top edging. the straps are nice and thick, if a bit too wide set like most half cups, and fully adjustable. the gore juust slightly doesn't tack at the top edge, but if i shove the wires into the empty channel space near the underarms (which i prefer anyway) I'm fine. the gore doesn't seem to wide on this, though it measures as wide as bras that give me gore trouble. this partly might be because the wires are wider so my boobs are being pulled less to the center, and the gore also isn't laying flat. looking down, instead of a _ shape, its doing a \/ shape and bending with my boobs, so they dont fight and shove it around. honestly I'm confused about the wire width, as for a long while there it seemed anything over a 5.75 inch width had major space near the underarms. maybe this bra is shallower and I'm not getting empty space because my boobs are being shoved to the sides instead of in?

the band feels a little loose on the tightest hook, though measurements say that shouldn't be the case. for reference, i also ordered the 32G and liked the band on that much better. the cups feel pretty good, though I'm a little bulgy on the larger left side and a little gapey on the shallower right side. its not too severe or noticeable for either though, so i would consider it a good balance between the two. unfortunately the right cup edge curls out a fair bit, likely because of the previous wear, so for this reason i can see it under a shirt. all in all, i think the 32G could work out for me! fingers crossed https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
