Third time's the charm with Samanta! Previously I tried a 70F A922 Aurora (too deep) and a 65G A122 (technically fit but too pointy for my taste). I love Samanta's designs, but they are so difficult to get a hold of in the U.S. When this one popped up on Zulily, I decided I'd give this brand one last try before giving up.

Well, this is hands down one of the most beautiful bras I own. It's grey with burgundy, bright pink and orange floral embroidery... such a striking and whimsical combo. The materials and finishing all appear to be very high quality.

I had thought that ... the A142 cut would be too shallow for my projected boobs, but actually it's not at all. The wires are quite narrow, and the marks left when I took off the bra revealed that they actually managed to stay in my IMF throughout the day. In the pictures, you can see the residual marks left from my Panache Cari, which sits much lower on me in comparison. The cups have a small side sling, which helps produce a very centered and rounded shape in combination with the vertical seams. The straps are quite wide set... they don't bother me personally but I think their placement might be irritating for someone with petite or narrow shoulders. The band is really silky and fits TTS. The only minor fit issue I have is related to the flexible wires and somewhat high gore--- my close-set boobs tend to push it away from my sternum, preventing a proper tack. I've read on Sophisticated Pair before that Samanta bras aren't designed to fully tack like UK bras do, so I'm not worried about it however.
