Found this on sale on a Polish site and jumped on it - Wiesmann has quite a high price point usually. Unfortunately it's slightly too projected and closed on top for me, which makes the shape slightly too pointy for my taste. This is going to be resold or returned. It's unfortunate because I really like the quality and the looks https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Fit: Technically slightly wide for me, but I didn't experience any fit issues from it, there was no east-west happening. I would say it is slightly closed on top and wouldn't work for a full on top shape, but it's not ... very closed. Nicely firm and comfortable band. I found the depth of the cup very difficult to measure and it doesn't seem representative of the true depth - I found it very projected, to the point of not being able to quite fill the apex, which has never happened to me before. For reference, my best fits are Cleo Hettie/Kayla, unlined Gorsenia, Ewa Michalak CHP/HP - bras that are considered quite projected. At the same time it also has acceptable depth at the bottom of the cup. I wouldn't say it runs big, just projected, and is too projected for my breasts, leading to a slightly pointier shape than I'd like. This would probably not be an issue with the right shape match.
Construction: Materials are clearly high quality and chosen both for looks and comfort. Three part cup construction with straps connecting to the bottom section, providing great uplift. Straps are fully adjustable, with slight picot trim to prevent slip. Average width for the size, somewhat but not very stretchy. Underwires are slightly soft but don't distort with normal wear. Cups are made of sheer mesh, not stretchy. The top edge is softly elasticated. The bottom section has a second layer for more strength. Center gore and sides to the side boning also use the same mesh and are backed with a stronger sheer mesh-y fabric than the cups. Side boning is quite soft, and is also easily removable as the channel is closed with separate seams. Hook and eye closure is backed with a silky stretch fabric, and the elastics used along the edge of the band are soft as well. The side wing is quite low for the size, cup height a little taller than average. The gore is less high than average. Three hook closure for added support and stability.
Appearance: The mesh cups feature slightly stylized large floral embroidery. It is quite detailed and delicate despite stylization. The top section is rather sheer, the bottom section less, but still clearly on the sheer side. The mesh is cut along the edges of the embroidery, leaving a pattern matched lacy edge along the top of the cup, and along the middle of the bottom of the cups and gore - very nice attention to detail. The center gore has a four-pointed star decoration, embellished with rhinestones. There are no decorations where the straps connect. The straps are semi-matte, quite minimalist, with a small picot edge. The band is a semi-matte stretch fabric similar to what's usually used in bands, but softer. All hardware is black.
