(The right wing comes up to 3.625, as it is slightly stretched more than the left side, which measures 3.5 and is the value recorded.)
I surprised how differently this bra fit compared to Princessa, since they are the same size and from the same brand.
The colors on this bra are PHENOMENAL! I love the patterned cups, which are really soft to the touch, and essentially unpadded (their thick enough for modesty, but not padded). My photos don’t do this bra any justice color wise — the cups are magenta and the flowery detailing is gold. The lace below the cups and on the gore is very thick ... and durable, and looks like delicate pink flowers connected by purple vines. The lace is set into mesh, so it breathes well, as does the band. The band is SO SOFT and velvety, and it quite stretchy. The elastic lining the botttom and top edges of the band is nice and thick.
Unfortunately, it is at least a cup size too big, possibly two: check out that crazy gaping! The gore had no problem touching me and laying flat this time, though it was all too happy to dig into my sternum painfully. The lace, although incredibly beautiful, drapes down past the edge of the band. It’s awesome aesthetically, but I find it very itchy when pressed against my skin. The straps are more than long enough to multiway comfortably, and do so easily with clips in both the front and back. Once again, the cup is both too wide on my body and hits me too far back. This combined with the cup being too tall causes some intense cutting in at the underarm — it actually left marks after only being tried on for a few minutes! That might be due in part to some lace that lines the top edge of the cup from the point where the strap attaches to where it meets he band, however.
Although this bra has room for center-fullness, the gore is decently wide. I think this bra would be ideal for someone who is center full, but also also slightly wide-set.

What a pretty color! When the top edge sticks straight up like that but you can't even get close to tacking, I would say that is a case of a bra that is too shallow and too small--not actually too big, since the depth is very insufficient for you. At less than 9" deep and 6" wide it is a very shallow cup design indeed, so to get sufficient depth in this bad boy you would need to size up to a cup so tall it would be poking you in the chin ;-)
