I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top.

The Chili Halcup was a limited range which is still avaiable in a few sizes. It runs deeper than the sister model "Espresso Halfcup".

This bra has a very soft fabric and is very comfortable as the cups inside is lined with cotton. The cups are true to size while the band runs a little large. I probably have to alter it one day. The wires are wide and soft, they fit me well.
The cups are a little closed on top wich is flattering for my breasts.

I bought this bra a long time ago, and I was trying to sell it via a bratabase listing because it was too small in the cups and too big in the band. But my underbust have grown, and my breasts have shrinked since this time, so I decided to re-try this bra, just in case. IT FITS ! (photos for bratabase were taken at this time, but on my blog, you can see more recent pictures with the bra that fit).

It gives an excellent shape under clothes, the fabric is very comfy, color is gorgeous. It is an excellent every day bra for someone who ... wants a round shape without a push-up cleavage. It can be used as a t-shirt bra.

Cups are shallow with wide wires, but not very wide wires. The top of the cups is open, but not enough for me. The center gore is not too high. It is narrow, but still not narrow enough for me unfortunately. It is not a bad fit on me, but I prefer the plunge bras from the same brand, with lower gore, wider wires and cups more open on top.

Before, when I had a smaller underbust and bigger boobs, I wore the size 30f in the same bra model, but the 30f didn't fitted me very well (cups definitely too deep and too narrow). The 32d is shallow friendly, the 30f is not.

I am absolutely in love with the look of this bra.

I first tried the size 32D, it was too big in band and too small in the cups, but I loved the shallow cups and wide wires.
In this size (30F), the band is still too big. It is very stretchy ! I don't understand, because it is as stretchy as the 32 band !
The cut of the cup is different from the 32D. Underwires don't have the same shape. For the 30F, it is a classic U shape, for the 32D it is a "flat, wide and open" shape.

I take the photos when my breasts ... are bigger because of my periods. During this time, the fit of the cups is quite good ! My bigger breast sits perfectly on the cup, on the smaller breast, the cups gap. Underwires are too narrow, but it is wearable.
Underclothes, the bra gives a round centered shape ( but which looks fake on my body, because of the too narrow underwires I think).
I will update this review when my boobs become in their normal size.

I say "okay" for quality, not "good", because of the strechy back, and because there is 2 little sewing errors in the bra I have receveied.
