I ended up sending this bra back, because although i believe this to be the closest to my "correct" size in the showgirl line, it still felt wrong and more unflattering than the 34e tempt me i have which feels a cup size too small and a band size too large. Ive heard that the wild is supposed to have the same cut as the tempt me, so im basing my comparison of the two of them on that.

The band on this closed on the last hook, but it felt painful and cutting. Perhaps it would have stretched after a while, seeing as the general consensus is they ... do, but then i feel like it would be back in the territory of too stretchy to support. I'm thinking it more of an issue with the particular material its made of, that it either gives a ton or fits technically correct but irritates. Im am confused then, as to what band size i should get, as the 34 needs to be on the tightest hook for me to wear it.

The cup feels like it's wide enough to contain my breast tissue on the sides (unlike the 34e i have, which definitely cuts in after a while), but i don't actually get much cleavage and seem to have to re adjust more often. I also get some gaping at the top outer corners. I wonder if it's because the cup has more room and doesn't press my chest and hold it back like the smaller one, so it leaves room for movement and settling. Of course, this means that from the side it do get a good shape, and not the minimized one that i get in the smaller cup (from it pressing back). So, in the right cup size, this is actually wrong for my shallow, wide set, bottom heavy shape. weh https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Style wise this isn't really my bag, I'm not a fan of animal print. I do feel it keeps from looking trashy, because it's a sheer print over a deeper scarlet, not a bright red. I also love that its paired with a rich creme-gold, as opposed to black, it's more elegant and less boudoir. if it were just those two and no animal print, i would have probably liked it more. I especially love the bow details and how the satiny red fabric continues onto the wing before becoming the red mesh of the band.

If you can fit these bras, i would say go for it because they are pretty well made and when they fit, comfortable.
