I was so surprised at how well this bra fit me! Even though it’s sheer, I found it to be quite supportive and keeps me in place. Nipples do show through if wearing a thin shirt, but it works otherwise. The band is bigger than expected probably due to how stretchy it is. I could probably have gone with a 32 FF but it’s not a big deal, I use the second set of hooks and it’s fine. The strap placement is fantastic for narrow/sloping shoulders. My partner finds it sexy too haha
For reference I am full on bottom, narrow roots width wise, short roots, splayed shape, and narrow shoulders.
*Edit-wow this band has stretched out way too much too quickly. It’s now too loose on the tightest hook.
I was hoping to have a sexy red padded push up but the cups are a couple sizes too small and it's shallower than I think I'd ever be able to wear. I think it'll be good for short periods when I want some serious cleavage.
My measurements are all in inches: under bust 33.5, snug 32, tight is 30.8; bust standing 41.5, leaning 43, laying down 41.5. I have short narrow roots with a small bridge between my breasts, which are functionally full on bottom and center full. This bra is so soft right off the bat, the band is a bit loose on me but stays supportive on the second row of eyes. The cups are just a tad small but not uncomfortably so. I have some cleavage, but not overly so. The fig or deep red colorway is great. This bra does have side slings for side support which for me ...is a bonus. The inner cup is also mesh and covers the sling to help it stay flat against the side of the breast. As of today this is one of my most comfortable bras that fits. I did try this in 34FF and the cups were just a bit too big. 6/2023 Update this bra now is too loose in the band to provide any support and the cups cut into my breast tissue. I do have one in 34FF and it fits okay but the support isn't great. Read more 91 more words
My better fits are Panache Ana in 34FF, Gossard Superboost Lace N/P 7725 in 34F. This bra in the black/electric blue colorway fits like it's a cup size smaller. I'm exchanging it for a 34FF to see if that will fit better. This one the cups are shorter than my Gossard Superboost Lace N/P in fig (deep red), and not as deep. If you are interested in this colorway I would suggest ordering your normal cup size and one up to see which one works for you. The materials are very nice, and are in keeping with being soft and comfortable other than the cups runneth over to the point of discomfort.
The Gossard Superboost sits well in the IMF, and is very supportive. The purple colourway is totally impressive, and combined with the plunge this bra is beautiful.

Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, ...slightly conical breasts * average projection * wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts) * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line) * even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full) * short root height, average vertical placement * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away) * conical shape (but will squish to round) * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame * front (anterior) rib flares
Band: * length: way too big * wings: height good * no axillary skin spillage
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
Cups: * WAY too big -- fabric covers breasts without providing any shaping. * Wires wide enough (SO RARE). * Top of cup wrinkles, despite elastic on the top edge of the cup. Cup is expecting WAY more upper fullness than I possess. * Bottom of the cup wrinkles (because bra not providing any support). * Don't be fooled by the stock photos. This fabric is very, very sheer. Everything shows. (This is a pro or a con, depending on your goals.)
Straps: * too far apart, slip * adjust short enough
Comfort & Fit Summary * Band and cups too big. * Try 32E & 32F. (Reviewed separately.) Read more 217 more words
This is a strange bra, the strangest I have tried so far. It looked like some kind of harness. Amazingly incredibly comfortable. But the pointiest silhouette I've gotten from a bra that actually fits fairly well. The back is so NOT sexy on me. It's fitting great and no back fat. But it hits me in a way that I look more like a block of wood than usual. Not giving up on Gossard but afraid they are not going to no to fit my shape at all.
