Wow! What a difference this one makes.
The molded cups are projected enough, and not too wide. They could be ever a smidgen narrower for me, but they are pretty darn good. (There is always that trade-off between shallow vs. projected.) They give a natural lift & a nice rounded shape without looking artificial...perfect for close-set, forward facing breasts. The padding is firm but pliable and doesn't add extra volume. The underwire is firm, but not so rigid to be uncomfortable. When I first 'Swoop&Scoop' I get just a bit of quadding on my larger side, but then when I stand upright and things settle in, it ... fits about as good as I could ever get!
The gore is narrow enough to not sit on breast tissue, but tall enough to be supportive.
The straps are fully adjustable, fairly stretchy but still supportive. The band runs true to size, although I wish the wings were taller under the arms, because I do get some dreaded backfat over my lats.
Only 2 minor negatives: the 'Panache' tag in the back is made with nylon and its' cut edges were made by melting them, which leaves a scratchy edge on all 3 exposed sides: Easily fixed by snipping it out! The other issue is the partial band under the cup is not sewn with precision. One band is 1/4" wide, the other is 3/8" wide; enough to feel the difference, but I hope it becomes less noticeable with washing.
Ordered the brazilian panty to match: has just enough back coverage that it's really comfortable, and it doesn't leave a panty line! Supports through the waist so it doesn't slide down. Really cute set!
Update: after many months the band is now beginning to stretch. I still wish it had higher wings, but overall I'm very happy with this one. Wish it wasn't discontinued and came in other colors.
2nd update: technically this doesn't fit, but I can get away with wearing it on my non-bloated/lose a couple pounds kinda day. I still love the shape it gives, but the short band is still a problem around the lats.
