The feathers was my introduction to properly fitted bras several years ago. Unfortunately, I have a bit more projection at the root than the feathers calls for, which is ultimately what led me to my abrathatfits journey.

My main issues with the 32DDD are
- how tall the cups are. My armpit creases are red after taking this bra off, and the cups seem to be ultimately too wide as they press into my sides (it hurts after prolonged wear, not as much for a few hours at a time)
- my shape not being suited to a plunge cut. No matter how much I adjust, my larger breast (left) is ... always spilling inward and down.
- The cup is empty above the nip


I needed a non-stretch extender for many wears, but no matter what the band slides down over time.

I prefer the fit/shape of the 32DD Feathers, however it does feel too open and leads to spillage and the bra migrating down. I tried the 32DDD and while it helped (not solved) with spillage, the cups are too large and not projected enough at the root.

In terms of appearance, it gives a little bit of a triangular shape under clothes, the 32DD gives a more rounded shape

———————————-
About my shape/fit:
Pendulous. Projected at IMF. Center full. Flared rib cage. Short roots. Average-narrow root width. Soft tissue. Slightly full on bottom. A little wide set.

My recommended starting point was 32DD/E or 34D/DD. I teeter on the edge of both band size and size, depending on time of the month, brand, etc. I would describe my shape as horizontally center full, slightly wide set, lots of soft tissue from weight loss. I think I’m even fullness but functionally full on bottom. I have immediate projection that I need to accommodate, but overall I seem to be fairly shallow-average in terms of projection. My roots are average-narrow width and average-shorter height.

Great bra and a great fit, but I find I prefer the Natori Flora cup profile better as the lace lays flatter and works better with the slim-fitting silk tops I frequent to work. Didn't get much wear out of this, but I took great care of it. Hoping it finds a new owner to love it!

The discomfort from the center gore is an immediate problem that I noticed as soon as I put the bra on. It's what keeps me from wearing it. I believe this could stem from a few issues:

The gore is too low. I noticed my other bras that have a slightly better fit have higher gores and the underwire comes up higher.

The cups are too shallow for me. This one is very shallow compared to many others I have tried. I noticed the center gore appears to lift away from me slightly.

The the band is too big for me. I measure at an underbust right under 26". This band runs tighter than many 30 bands. It may work for someone typically in a 28 band, but I still think it stretches too much for me.

Very pretty bra, but incredibly shallow. I have shallow breasts but this was the only bra I've found too shallow for me, and the wire dug in painfully under my breasts. The band runs a little small (I have a 31in underbust and the 32 was too small for me). The cups run maybe half a size small.

I like the fit except I do wish it had more support/coverage in the center. I really love that the band is quite firm as I am sizing up into a 30, instead of a preferred 28.

Had to go up a cup size since 32B was almost exposing my nipples. Unfortunately this size didn't work out either. It's a thin lining but not too thin, I prefer more of a thicker lining when it comes to bras.

Second try on the so popular Feathers. Somehow this bra shows my asymmetry clearer than any others I've tried. The right is a bit more gapped than the 30C, probably from the difference in band length.

This band feels maybe too loose, whereas the 30 was too tight. It is just not very forgiving in either direction. My bra measurements came up basically the same for the cup parts, so the only difference is the tautness of the band.

Tried the ever-famous Feathers, but I don't think it works for me. The 30 band feels very tight. The biggest issue is the gaping on my right. The left feels pretty good, aside from tightness.

I got this at Marshall's and I'm not sure if it's irregularly small, I tried to compare it to different bras - same Natori Feathers, just a different color (tan). But this one seems small for some reason.

I can't remember the price, but I think it was $24.99 at Marshall's.
