ORIGINAL REVIEW AND PHOTOS (July 2019):
I'm looking for a strapless bra to wear with a bridesmaid dress. Most strapless bras are made with molded cups that cater to a shallow shape so they don't work for me.

The Goddess Adelaide Strapless Bra is made with seamed cups. It has boning in each cup that helps give it a shape that works with my breast tissue instead of against it. Unfortunately, the size (34G US/34F UK) doesn't quite work for me. The band is too big and I only expect that to get worse as I break it in further. Ideally, I would try a 32H or even a ... 32G (US size). Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to come in either of those sizes.

UPDATE (November 2021):
So, I actually did wear this bra in nude with the bridesmaid dress and I still have it. It ultimately was the best fit of all of the strapless bras that I tried. I can't say I wore it again after that event but I still have it, so I figured I'd see how it fits now. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and measuring (UK size) at a 34G or 34GG. That means this bra should be 2-3 cup sizes smaller than what I currently need. The band fits but feels tight due to the fit of the cup. The gore floats 1" off my sternum. The underwire gets pushed about 1.5" below my IMF and is probably about 1.5" too wide for my frame/shape. Therefore, there is empty space in the cups that tries to wrinkle and crease, but the boning in the cups tries to keep the cup out. It's a very interesting effect. It is very hard to swoop/scoop in this bra because of the cup construction. If I could swoop/scoop properly, I would certainly get a quad effect at the top of the cups. Instead, my tissue tries to sink into the cups and gives the illusion that there isn't spill over. I don't have a lot of use for a strapless bra (especially in the pandemic-era), so it's not a big loss that the "can make it work" bra is now a "doesn't fit" bra.
