This bra is at least two sizes small in the cups. Other than that it's completely fine. Pretty, comfortable, reasonable quality -- doesn't fit at all.

My shape: Pendulous. Projected. Center full. Flared rib cage. Shorter root height. Average-narrow root width. Soft tissue. Slightly full on bottom. A little wide set.

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.

I really liked how this bra fit and felt after trying it a few times. It was comfortable overall, I didn’t feel any issues after wearing for a full day of work. Overall the shape under clothes was flattering, but the vertical seam is very apparent under tees and did have a bit ... of a minimizing effect that I don’t really want.


The Band - the band was more snug than I was expecting when I first felt it. It uses that stretchy spandex material that Natori uses on some of their models, and it’s super tight at first but tends to loosen after a few wears.

The Wires - the wires were firm and pressed a bit on my sides, but when I used an extender it relieved that pressure. The height was perfect, I didn’t feel rubbing in my Tail of Spence or armpit. The pressure was probably from the width.

The Gore - gore tacks really comfortably and I don’t feel any movement. I like the hight of this, as it contains spillage that can happen with my center-full tissue. I appreciated that it was wider than most gores, as I am more wide set.

The Cups - overall the cups gave me a nice shape but did flatten a little bit. Sometimes when a bra is too shallow it gives a very odd, angular, lumpy shape but this still was rounded despite being slightly too shallow. Since my tissue seems to pool at the bottom of the cups, I tightened the straps to remedy some of the loose fabric on the top of the cups.

I feel like this bra would give a nicer shape if I had more side support - I plan on trying the entice side support in the near future to compare.

The Straps - the straps are pretty wide set and shorter than most bras I’ve tried. I usually need to tighten my straps to flatten the fabric on the upper cup so it wasn’t an issue at all for me. I like the front adjustment.


I liked it enough that I decided it fit, returned the marigold for a darker color/better price… I have so many regrets looking at these pics compared to the way that the Berry fits in the same exact size and model 😩 Next steps are either repurchasing in marigold, and/or trying the Skarlett Blue Entice Lace Side Support Balconette Bra (334143)

Gore was too wide and very painful. Cups fit well, but might be too small due to feeling of band tightness, despite good fit when bra was tried upside down and backwards. Fabric was soft and comfortable if fit had been better.
