If you have close-set, narrow breasts, Wacoal may have designed a fitting bra for you. The, gore, cleverly, adjusts for different levels of center fullness. Awesome! My close -set pair pushes the wires on top of one another creating a .5" gore. The materials are pleasant to touch and the tonal colors are beautiful.

*Wires distort at 30.5" of stretched band length. Size up once, maybe twice in band length.
*5.5" cup width and 10.5" of depth: the most narrow, deep Wacoal I've ever worn.
*Adjustable gore width .5" -.8" wide at the top and overlaps, if needed
*Lower gore is narrower than many. If you have omega-shaped breasts, this is helpful.
*Fluted straps ensure your adjustment will not move without your consent.
*I can count on one hand the bras that stay in my IMF: this is one.
*Single layer band is especially comfortable, but may loose dimensional stability quickly.

Although I need a wider cup and a narrower lower gore, I can strongly suggest this is worth a look if you are narrow, projected, and close-set.

Sexy! Sheer! Beautiful tonal embroidery!
The cups are a bit narrow (5.25"). The embroidery is fine enough that it won't show under a tight shirt. However, there is a dart/seam that will show, even though it does not go all the way to the top edge. The cups have a mesh side sling to keep the girls front & center, and elastic along the top edge. Will fit best on someone with short roots and/or is FoB.
The gore is ingeniously designed! The top inch of the underwires are separate, so that the wires overlap on someone with close-set breasts, thus reducing the width rather than sitting on breast tissue.
The straps are wide-set and narrow, but are overlayed with delicate pleated ribbon which serves to keep the straps from loosening.
The band (in my opinion) is the weakest design flaw. It has a straight back, seems to be on the short side, has no side boning for extra support. Therefore, back fat bulges might be a problem. I'd recommend going up a band size.

The short of it...I LOVE this bra!...except...the stretch mesh cups don't give very good lift.

The Awesome:
Beautifully embroidered stretch mesh cups (conforms to your shape), sheer & sexy (a great bedroom bra), inner side sling (keeps things front & center), the top 1 inch of the gore is seperate (will easily overlap between close-set breasts), pleated straps (keep from shifting), even tension on the double layer band (no back fat issues here). Cups are fairly closed. Elastic top edge will conform to your shape, (unless you are significantly full on top).

The Average:
The embroidery shows only a little under a thin shirt. The elastic edge does ... not show. The vertical dart to shape the mesh does not go to the top edge of the cup. Cups are true to size.

The Not So Good:
The cups are so stretchy they don't provide much lift (does not look the best under clothes). The band runs a full size smaller than expected (I had previously tried the 32DDD, which fit well in the cups but was much too tight in the band).

The Unique:
With correct positioning in the cups, this bra can either accentuate nipple exposure (placed between embroidery), or minimize their appearance (by placing behind the embroidery). Wow!

The Edit:
After owning this less than one month and only wearing it occasionally, it has already started to create a hole in the mesh, just below the front strap. So far, it has only happened on one side, (which happens to be my larger side). But now I am less than impressed with it's durability. Debating whether to fix it or return it.
