My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

This review is for the nude colorway.


I bought this bra on Zulilly for a steal because after years of not knowing my shape (shallow, yes, but otherwise, Ionno), I decided to try it when it was recommended for me as potentially full-on-bottom. This is the first time I think I've been able to identify the different elements of fit for what they are, so here goes:

I am FOB, and this bra definitely is not. When trying it on, it fit great, with just a hint of pointy-boob (from the horizontal cup seam) that ... wasn't noticeable once I put on a shirt. After 3 hours of wear, though, the cup depth problem became glaringly obvious, because the underwires had migrated 3 whole inches down my ribcage in the bra's attempt to put the largest volume of the cup around the largest volume of my breasts. Adjusting (re-swooping and scooping, shortening straps, etc) did absolutely nothing. The top of the cup never did cut in to my super-tall root, even after the migration, which makes me think it might be a good style for a FOT lady.

As for the underwires, they encompass my breast tissue well enough, but I am positive now that they are just the wrong shape and too rounded for my super wide breast root. They are so circular that there is some empty space on the bottom-outsides, and they come up super high and poke me in the armpit, which is not a problem I have often.

The band felt like it was not very stretchy (like satin) and also like it was riding up, and indeed it appeared to be doing just that, although it never actually moved even when I wiggled and jumped around, so I suspect it is just the shape of the band. After a day's wear, the back continued to stay precisely in place in a position that felt just slightly too high.

Plungey plungey is lovely! It is one of the lowest I've found, and I love that for my super-close breast tissue. Sadly, the other fit problems mean I will likely be selling it soon, but good plunges are great to find!

The Zara reminds me of a pink satin plunge bra shaped and constructed like this I once owned in my pre-birth control boobs days that I adored and that fit super-flatteringly (although I do wonder now whether there were some fit issues I just didn't notice because I was shallow and so small - 30D). This one might be great for FOT or shallow-balanced, just not for me. :/

The gore on this bra is blessedly low/non-existent. I love how I don't feel anything poking at me. That said, I can't see it keeping up with everyday wear (more like a special occasion or occasional bra). The cups are pretty wide, but the band is true to size. Didn't have as much of a narrow shoulder problem as normal. Not a good fit for me in this size, but I might try it in a 30F or E.

Completely bizarre. The cups were basically shaped like salad plates, extremely shallow and wide. Lumpy padding. Nude color was better in real life than in pictures, but that's the only good thing I can say. I bought it because I was looking for a multiway and I'm still looking for a multiway.

This bra is definitely for shallow breasts! I like that it's a multiway, but it really didn't fit very well. The gore didn't like flat on my chest, I wrinkled at the bottom and also got some quad boob. My breasts didn't stay in this bra very well. The seams on the bra also tend to show through shirts.

This bra is definitely for shallow breasts--lots of center spillage, and cup folds above the underwire on my full-on-bottom breasts. Band is solid, but a bit too large for my ribcage. I've considered keeping it because it's always nice to have neutral bras, and I really like the convertible aspect, but it's just not the right shape or depth for me!

This bra did not fit me. The base of the cup is shallow, which normally would be fine with me, but for whatever reason my boobs forced the cup to fold in at the bottom and collapse. Very weird. Maybe it was just a too large cup for me.

The construction was nice other than that and I was really excited about the convertible straps. I think in the right size this would have been a good bra.

Similar to the Panache Inferno, but with cups that are not as stiff. Wider underwires that are good for a wide breast. Band stretches quickly with wear. Very comfortable bra. The cups are seemed and do show through some shirts.
