So Tutti Rouge is my brand and as anyone can see this is my bra.
Why?
When I lean over and hold the Betty bra around my boobs just to test the compatibility it's obvious it's the right bra. Everything simply add up. And when I look at myself in the mirror I see my natural boob shape, the shallow regency cleavage and really tall full on top boobs, the color that matches my skintone perfectly and makes my bobs look like those movies made of the perfect Jane Austen novels. I feel at home.
So how does this bra accomplish that?
Both Tutti Rouge bras I've tried (Betty ... and Liliana) has the same type of cup shape; A really shallow outer section that collects a wide root perfectly and supports the lower outer quadrant and so reshapes the boobs to be pushed diagonally gently in towards the upper inner quadrant to create cleavage. Everything is pushed in and up and there held close to the chest. There bras obviously is there to create cleavage. Everything in the bra seems to be thought out to have just that effect. The wings are tall and the gores are low. The outer part of the cups are tall as well.
My boobs are semi soft or even soft and sagged and they hang naturally at my sides where my boobs appear fuller in the lower outer. But with just some support in the lower outer they are completely reshaped into full in the upper inner quadrant. Since this bra is so shallow everything is held in place. There is no spilling anywhere what so ever.
I've read a lot of times how bad pushup bras are for boobs and how terrible it is pushing boobs up and inwards, but for my semi soft boobs there is nothing better than that. The so called front and center "good pushups" are terrible for me since I am naturally east and west and cannot force my boobs front and center by pushing them inwards. Pushing them *inwards upwards* however really works and is the most comfortable thing for me.
My boobs are seriously minimized and still mega tall. I can wear high street clothing in this bra.
Compared to for example the Bravissimo Moulin Rose (AU24) in the same size the Betty is taller everywhere but in the gore and less deep and with narrower wires. It's just wide enough to collect my boobs at the sides and push them inwards where Moulin Rose instead have me gaping in the gore because my boobs lack support there.
Cups are very soft, lined with some cotton fabric I think. The band is very curved in the gore so no band is pushing on my stomach! This makes me able to wear this bra despite what is the only problem with it; the band is too tight. It's super mega tight. The wires are even stretched backwards. But! I need it just like that. I cannot have it any other way, it's simply how my boobs are naturally shaped and how much help I need to have them as close to my body as they are when I shape them with my own hands.
There is no distortion in the wires. There is no gore attacking me. I can even sit like a couch potato and this bra will still allow breathing since it doesn't prevent me breathing with my stomach.
I have no intention of wearing this bra as an everyday bra. I go braless as much as I can. This is a special occasions bra. But it's also a bra I like when I see it hanging on my door. It's so beautiful that I can hang it on my wall among my tuelle skirt lamp and pink and purple light strands. It fits me both in style, shape and colors. Oh and yes; I also own a regency dress.
Now; I'm well aware bras will fool me and be comfortable in the beginning and then start to trouble me. But this bra is so me no bra can possibly me more me than this.

I really want to try this bra - I tried the Liliana, but it sat too low and slid down, and the elastics in the band were so uncomfortable. I wonder how this compares.
And I'm also worried about the strap placement. All straps cut at my arm, because my boobs sit high and my shoulders apparently are narrow, so all straps except for the panache sports bra are super painful. Like, the curvy kate thrill me is okay, except for mega painful straps...
