Technical data review only. Purchased only to frankenbra together with 70E Orchid that's woefully incapable of working even as a sleep bra. Will not be trying this on

A mystery:

While both Orchids are technically ... sister size to one another this 65F Orchid looks much more like a projected plunge with immediate depth at wire and evenly full projection to apex, wire is a full inch narrower than the sister size up from it! There is a lovely worthless jabby bit of plastic boning sewn into the seam between wing and band which I don't recall having in the original Black Orchid (cannot see any slits in seam channel from removing one, anyway)

Meanwhile 70E Orchid has a wider wire, taller gore, lower wing, and more of a 'pushup' cup shape, rather appeared to be made for wider, upper-inner full shapes in mind.

Both Black orchids have the same narrow full band with center scoop along bottom of gore, narrow but medium heavier weight shoulder strap elastics, disappointingly short/narrow band with chronically understaffed hook & eye in back Materials are sleek, smooth, well matched to fit for the size indicated. Construction is impeccable with no unfinished raw edges or loose threads.
