Found the new format 100percentawesome is using really helpful, so I'm gonna yoink it, if that's okay. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Shape: Projected, even-center full, narrow-tall roots, soft tissue.

THE TAKEAWAY: It's a 3HC (three-section or two-seam half-cup) with plenty of projection and a very uplifted round shape. A bit too closed on top for my shape, which causes quadding in the HH (my usual size). The jade color is stunning, and the black ribbon embellishment really elevates the design (and was my original motivation for choosing the half-cup instead of the plunge). It's not quite a t-shirt bra, though, because the seams show under ... thin material.

THE DETAILS: A bit frustrating. The 32HH quads, but the gore tacks; here, the gore doesn't quite tack, which results in a bit of gaping on my right side, which in turn impacts the roundness of the fit. (I'm mostly symmetrical, to the point where sometimes it seems like the left is a little bigger, sometimes it seems like the right is...) This could also be being caused by my center-fullness.

Wellfitting's 365 day return policy means I'll be holding onto this bra for a while as I consider the fit (it's so beautiful and so close...), but I think I'll go ahead and send back the 32HH, which is DEFINITELY too small...

ETA: Okay, I'm coming around to thinking this is actually too big in the cups; that as a result, my center fullness is pushing the soft wires out of shape in the middle, causing the gaping and the odd shape.

Alternate solutions: harder wires might make this size work, or a more open cup on the HH, which I think would serve me better in a half cup than it did in the Pl Blekitek I bought the other day. (Too little support when combined with its very low gore; I ran a block or so and then had to stop because it hurt.)
