This is a vintage criss cross/ crossover bullet shaped bra with horizontal cup seams. The cup material is slightly stretchy vertically. Even though this is vintage, the elastic is not stiff or too stretched out. The black fabric is not faded and looks to be NOS. I got this at a second hand store. It smells like it might have been washed once because it has a detergent fragrance to it. The straps are those kind that slide the strap and will come undone if pulled too loose/long. I have a slight "orange in a glass" effect, the cups only press into my breast tissue if I stick ... my breast out, but at a sitting rest, it's only slightly pressing on it, any looser and it would wrinkle I think. The strap buckles on the front press into my skin and are slightly uncomfortable. The top part of the cup that goes next to your armpit does not cut into breast tissue, it fits perfect into my Axillary Tail of Spence crevice. I think that extra inch of depth I'm missing in the cup depth measurement is coming from the space of the middle of the cups, since the gore doesn't lie flat because it's wireless, that is where that extra inch of cup space is. So the depth of this bra fits great I feel.
