Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* ... wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares
Band:
* length: stays in place with wear
* wings: too short
* no axillary skin spillage
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
Cup:
* Gives breasts a wide, projected, conical shape.
* Wires too narrow (not even close).
* Top of cup: smooth line.
* Bottom of cup: wrinkles.
* Elastic on outer edge of cup rolls and cuts into tail of Spence.
Straps:
* not too far apart
* adjust short enough
Fit Under Clothing:
* Seams visible through thin T-shirt. (Not as smooth as the 32E)
* Visible under v-neck.
* Visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt.
Assessment and Plan:
* Wires way too narrow, yet somehow breasts look wide. Cuts into tail of Spence.
* Try one cup size up (UK 32E, Wacoal 32DDD).
