I'm going to preface my next four reviews with a few points:
-I ordered these bras at the BF sale, which was well over two months ago
-my breasts have had a lot of growth lately
-I knew, thanks to several BtB users and their suggestions (but I'd like to shout-out to Mamapagan for her phenomenal amount of help, time, and insights) that none of these bras would fit due to what Mamapagan and I are dubbing as the Teapot Effect.
Teapot Effect Explanation:
Because my breasts are large, pendulous, and Omega shaped, it can be a little difficult to gauge one's correct size. So while it may seem like a too-small ... bra works, it still has some somewhat manageable fit issues. My breasts can "fit" into a J cup just fine, right? But here's what's really happening. The cup is lifting only a portion of my tissue (important to remember the REST of my tissue isnt even in the cup) which still gives me that signature EM rounded look. But the cups soon begin to sag under the weight of my breasts. In turn, this causes my band to slide up my back and the underwires on my bras to slide down and dig into my ribcage. Finally, my excess tissue that was never in the cup to begin with, starts to escape from the tops of my cups, much like pouring tea from a teapot. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Onwards to the review!
Yikes. I didn't like the look of this bra one bit. I had a lot of pinched tissue going on again, despite the depth measuring at 15" (fun fact, this is the deepest bra that I own). The adjustable strap details were super... Weird. They're difficult to adjust and they sit odd as well. I did my best for photos, but I still don't think they're 100% where they need to be sitting. I don't know why the one cup is wrinkling towards the gore. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can shed some light for me? I was wearing this bra on its tightest hookset and I still felt like it was big, but, again, not surprising since I'm measuring a ≈27.5ish for my band measurement anymore.

The cup looks like it's collapsing under the weight of the breasts, maybe because the cups are too small and the band is too big? The wires also look really wide.
