My shape: FOB, soft tissue, narrow shoulders and roots, projected
Appearance: I LOVE the bright orange colors on this bra. It's mostly white mesh (no stretch) with orange embroidery on the cups, an orange bow at the gore, and orange satiny fabric on the band and elastic straps. The cup is constructed of 3 parts, and there is a thin, clear piece of plastic-feeling elastic at the top edge of the cups. The bottom 2 parts of the cup have two layers of see-through white mesh, and the top part, where the embroidery is, is only one layer.
Fit: This style of bra fits me so much better than the ... Kostar balconette style that I got recently, but the cups are still too shallow. The measurements don't show that, which is odd. I think it's because the fabric has no stretch to it, so it smushes my soft tissue, giving me quad boob and the upside down 7, weird shape effect. The band feels pretty spot on, the straps aren't too wide, and the gore tacks. The bottom of the cup doesn't quite get filled, however.
I like the quality and the BRIGHT colors of the Kostar bras I have tried, but I'm afraid the non-stretch fabric doesn't work for me. If they made these bras with stretch mesh, they would be perfect!

Such a bummer! I think the measurements don't reflect the shallowness due to it being "correct" at the apex but not deep enough at the wire (not enough immediate projection) which seems common aside from Ewa really for the larger cup sizes.
Sorry this one didn't workout for you as well. Kostar does quality craftsmanship, but I think work better for smaller or shallow projections instead.
Plus you gotta love the neon colors!
