When I first got the 30E Miss Mandalay Paris in Scarlet with leopard print accents, at the beginning of my bra journey, the wires seemed too narrow, coverage under the arms inadequate, and the cups too deep. Now, more than three years later, the wire width is good and the cup depth fine, but the coverage under the arms is still inadequate. The worst part of this bra's fit for me is the gore, which is about 2.5" high. The biggest fit issue I have, now that my roots are narrower and my projection greater after breast migration, is painfully high center gores. The best gore height for ... me is 1.5" but 1.75" works too, in my 65F Ewa Michalak 3Ds.

The cups on this Scarlet Miss Mandalay Paris are deep. Consider my best fit in Cleo Marcie and Freya half cup bras is 30FF. The dozen or so Ewa Michalak 3D bras I have are 65F. If the side coverage were higher in Cleo Marcie, I could wear it in 30F. I speak of the original red color, the Bravissimo exclusive purple color, and the bright turquoise color of seasons past.

I realize there are people who need narrow, deep cups and low coverage under the arms. It still saddens me, though, to find Miss Mandalay Paris will apparently never be a good fit on me. It is pathetic I still have this new with tags bra and the new with tags matching panties. This is the bra enthusiast's version of unrequited love. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
