*EDIT* i kept it, so ive been able to wear it a ton. after a few hours, i have to readjust and scoop/swoop for the gaping that occurs. i feel like its a combo of a too loose band making the bra move around and the width of the gore shoving the cups back and forth. the straps slide of my shoulders occasionally, again probably because the band keeps moving. all in all a pretty comfortable bra, but my no means a perfect fit.

I'm torn on this bra. it seems to fit okay, aside from a few small things. the gore is a bit too wide, the straps ... being are a little too far apart, and the right cup is gaping (which i always face because that side is shallower/wider). but it doesn't feel quite right, and i cant pin what it is. the band seems like it could be tighter, but going by measurements that shouldn't be the case. the bottom of the cups on the outside also seem to want to roll outwards, and I'm not sure if that is happening because my stomach is meeting it, or if its something to do with the bra fit, maybe needing more projection? I'm not sure. I'm at a loss with bras lately! onto the nitty gritty:

the straps are fully adjustable, yay! the band is hooked on the tightest setting, but it still feels like it could be more snug. it might just be that Freya bands and their thin stretchy material is what i'm feeling, because my measurements match up with this bra pretty well. the gore probably needs to be narrowed, as i notice it fighting with my boobs and going side to side a lot. interestingly, there isn't nearly as much empty wire channel in the armpits of this bra as I'm used to, less than half an inch. the cup on the left (larger side) seems to fit well, and actually looks on the borderline overspill in the center of the bra, near the gore. the right (smaller) cup gapes along the whole top edge, most severely near the strap and most noticeably when my arm is forward at all (like while i type this...grrrr). i feel like there is a whole cup of difference between them, its so frustrating! i feel like taking in the gore would alleviate some of the extra space though, so one day i will have to try that.

appearance wise, this bra is really cute. the straps and top of the cup are white, purple, and pink stripes, with a little flat bow where the strap connects.the gore has two small white buttons, and the pattern is this really neat sort of ..teardrop geometric shape? they are ombre coral and set on a pale lilac background, and it all somehow works. the cups are constructed like the totally tartan, with two vertical seams and one horizontal. i dont notice problems with the horizontal seam cutting into my tall tissue.

im most likely sending this back. i love the looks, but my 34FF Totally Tartan has been giving me issues, and this bra will likely fare the same since they are the same cut.
