Currently I am looking for bras which accentuates the volume of my bust. I struggle to show much shape in clothing despite my measurements suggesting that my bust has some level of projection. I would appreciate any tips and bra recommendations that would help me achieve this.

About the bra: I have to say I am very much surprised at how good this makes my boobs look! I didn't think I could achieve this much cleave in a bra without tons of padding. I'm especially pleased about how the height of the cup is kind to my (what I believe are) short roots.

The cons: Again, as with every bra ... I've tried so far, there is still the issue of there being a bit too much room in the bottom of the cup and I measure the cup to be about 0.5 inches wider than where my root begins (around 5.6 inches). The bra did create slightly sore marks around the 8th hour of wear during a busy work shift where I'm constantly moving which, again, there's been very few bras I've worn that have not done this excluding the M&S Sumptuously Soft range. This leads me to believe it could instead be an issue with material as most of the bras I've worn so far have had frilly and lacy edges to the cups.

To be honest this bra, appearance-wise, looks to be one of the best fitting bras I've worn. However, on closer inspection, it still has the fit issues as just about every other bra I've tried.

At this point, any help or corrections you can suggest to me regarding these constant fit issues would be wonderful!

This bra is a bit of an enigma to me. It fits very badly from a technical standpoint. The wires are too wide and low, the cups are too shallow and separate, and the straps are very slacky. But it is very comfortable, very supportive, and gives great cleavage in spite of all this.

I love this bra. I'm deeply confused by it, but I love it. I'm not sure if it would be like this new, as I bought it used. But I'm glad I got it and it's satin counterpart. They have served me well.

This bra is much more giving and relaxed than the satin plunge. The band is more stretchy and the straps are more giving. I like the fit of the lace version more, but both are good bras, in my opinion.

Most of the reviews on Amazon mentioned how great this was for wide set breasts, but it's very comfortable for my close set breasts, as well, due to the gore being so low. I haven't had any slips yet, and it gives amazing cleavage. Other bras dig into my breast tissue due to center fullness, and I'd have to customize a bra with overlapping wires to solve the problem. I tend to stick to plunge bras until I can customize a Polish bra. The wires also run narrower than other bras I've tried, which was perfect for me. I love this bra.

I accidentally bought this size because it was listed on Amazon as 28F but apparently the listing was showing the US size. I love the color and since it was insanely cheap I decided to keep it for when I need extra cleavage - my breasts are wide-set so cleavage is hard to come by! I wish the 28 band had two hooks rather than one as I feel like the band will wear out sooner and gives less support than it would with two hooks.

I love this bra. The gore is nice and low and the cups fit true to size. I would say it has average projection. The only thing I would change about it is that I really wish the band had two hooks rather than just one! I think in the large band sizes it might have more hooks but in the 28 band, there is only one hook.

It is my first bra from UK, and it is perfect! I have purple one(the official name of colour is "Bordeaux"), and it is beautiful. It is little bit pointy, but fits me well. I removed pads from this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
There is only one thing I feel uncomfortable: strap. Its strap is quite tight. That's the reason why I do NOT check "Excellent" for Comfort of this bra.
I have full on top. I have no idea about shallowness...But after checking some bras and reviews, I found that similar bras always fit for shallow boobs. Well then, I might be shallow too https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The staff of bra shop(where I bought this bra) said its cup is not problem, but band length is little bit SMALL for usual "32" size. So it fits well for people who have slender underbreast and relatively bigger (standing)bust.

The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Part 4!
My shape: projected, soft tissue, narrow shoulders and roots, FOB
Fit: Whoa, talk about center spillage. This is not a great bra for someone who needs center coverage. One little move and I'm popping out the front. I mean, I guess I should have expected that with a plunge bra, but this one is SUPER plungey.
These wires are too wide, as well as the straps. (sigh, I type that a lot) The wires are eating my armpits and heading towards my back, even.
Appearance: Blindingly white lace bra. There's a little G charm at the gore. I appreciate the tag, by the size label, that says, "Checking your boobs could save your life."

This bra is absolutely huge on me. It is easily two, maybe three cups too big for me. I have some other bras in 42DDD (42E) that fit, but went up a band to see if it would be more comfortable. I should have gone down two to three cups. To get to fill in the cup even the tiniest bit, I had to pull the bra down almost to my waist. As soon as I removed them from the package I knew they wouldn't fit. Also, the coverage seems way more than should be there for a plunge. I think I'm going to try other sizes because this bra has the possibility of being comfortable for me (the gore is much lower than others I've tried and maybe with a smaller cup it will be even shorter).

I really, really wanted to love this bra. The Twilight Blue was gorgeous on the website and just as pretty in person. It was on the higher end of what I prefer to pay for bras, and the quality is definitely there, but it just didn't give me the shape I would have liked or the magical cleavage I expected based on the pictures.

I resized myself as a 28G a few months ago, as I have a 27" rib cage, but I'm finding that some of my 28G bras cause too much rubbing against my ribs, leaving them really sore at the end of the day. For ... that reason (and because this bra starts at a 30 band), I decided to try the 30FF. In terms of fit, I have no complaints. Looking at it in the packaging, I thought the cup would be way too big, but once it was actually on, it fit great. After a scoop-and-swoop I have a tiny bit of quadding along the inside edge of the cups, but it goes away once everything settles. The straps didn't feel too wide and they adjusted more than enough for me; the underwire felt comfortably tight, and while the bra did push the girls together, I didn't feel like they squished or flattened them any.

In terms of construction, this really is a lovely bra. It's a 3-section cup, so it's not as firm as my Cleo Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7201) , but it is lined, so it's also not as flimsy-feeling as my Freya Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501). The allover lace didn't feel scratchy against my skin, and it looked pretty durable despite its delicate appearance.

Now, the reason I'm not keeping this bra is because it gives me a pointier shape than I'd like. Not super pointy, but 'natural' pointy. Still, I prefer a more rounded silhouette, so this is a problem for me. The other issue is that I don't actually have much cleavage in most bras, and I was hoping this bra would help out with that, but it didn't actually do too much. It helped a little, but I didn't really get much more than I get with Maddie (which isn't very much). I've seen reviews where people have said that you should go down a cup size if you want the amazing boost shown in some of the pictures, but I feel like there would be too much of an issue with quadding if I did that. I have FOB, self-supporting breasts with average-wide roots, and there's just a bit of separation between them--less than an inch, definitely, but still enough that I usually need to wear a bra with some kind of padding if I want really awesome cleavage. While this bra does have removable padding for smaller cup sizes (according to the website), there is none for larger cup sizes, so you have to depend on the bra's shape itself, and unfortunately for me, that didn't work out.

I was shocked this size fits but it does and I really like it. I can get a tiny quadding towards the inside corner but its not noticable in a shirt and the next cup up was too big. The lace doesn't show under my white tank top either so that is a win! And the back doesn't cause any bulging even though it is so narrow. I like that the straps are also narrow making it easier to wear with more summer options. The first day I wore it I even forgot to take it off in the evening lol. I love that the padding is not thick either and doesn't gap at the top like I typically have happen. The gore is short which also makes the bra more comfortable than many for me.
