My shape is narrow, even, projected with average-to-short roots, close-set with lots of upper-center fullness and soft, saggy breast tissue.
This is the first time trying Chantelle for me. The Revele-Moi bra feels pretty comfortable, despite the shape not being great for me - the wires are too wide and the cups too shallow. However with the stretchy construction it's comfortable and it somewhat squishes my soft boobs into place like a minimizer, and doesn't provide much uplift or shape. The lighweight mesh would make it a good summer bra.
A big negative in the fit for me is the wires at the centre gore point away from my chest.

Interesting styling, with sheer mesh panels on front and sides and a metallic V embellishment centre-front. I like the sheer bits, but not sure about the metal V, I hope the point doesn't poke me when I bend down. The sheer mesh also feels a bit delicate, I'm afraid I might snag or tear it.
Fit-wise it's good, in that it feels fairly comfortable to wear, and also has lots of depth at the gore for my centre-full breasts. But the wires feel too tall under my arms. Stretchy band.

This Rive Gauche bra is not a good fit for me, the wires are too wide and the cups too shallow, and there is no room at the gore for centre fullness - the gore floats and points away from my chest. The wide underwires are rubbing under my arms and are uncomfortable. I'm disappointed at the poor fit for the price point of $120 CAD. Good thing I can return to amazon.

My first time trying a padded half-cup style. It feels comfortable when I first put it on, the fabric is soft and smooth and the cups softly padded. But almost immediately the straps start to slip right off my shoulders, and no matter how much I adjust and tighten the straps, they keep slipping off. This is unusual since I have fairly wide shoulders. Looking more closely at the fit, there is a lot empty space at the side of the cup, and the wires are a little too wide under my arm. Also, after a few minutes wearing this bra the underwires slide down from my infra-mammary fold. So the cup shape is a mismatch for my boobs, cups are too shallow, especially at the gore and wire, but I didn't notice at first since all my soft breast tissue gets pushed upwards and towards the sides. So the bra is a shape mismatch for me, I need more projection at the wire and narrower cups.

This has been one of my most comfortable bras during my life as a nursing mother. It's made of a nice lightweight fabric that is comfortable for summer but still provides good support for my breasts. It can be slightly too small in the cup when I am engorged - there is not much stretch in the cup. Also the part under the drop-down cup that holds the cup to the upper strap seems a bit flimsy but it has help up over almost 2 years of use. It's also a fairly cute look, as far as utilitarian nursing bras go, with polka dots and lace.

This bra feels uncomfortable, probably the cup size is too small for me. My boobs feel too compressed and squished together, and the top of my breast spills over the top for quadboob effect. Decent support, and an extended band with 6 hook settings.
I hate the shape it gives my boobs - them sideways/ east-west and flattens at the top with quadboob. It gets worse the longer I am wearing it.

Too small in the band and cup. When I wear it with an extender, the cups are still too small (not deep enough). Wires seem ok for my narrow roots, but i get major quadboob.

This is way too small cup size for me, but this bra has so much stretch that it is still almost wearable. But it;s really uncomfortable and my boobs are spilling out all over.

This is a really comfortable bra for me, but not super supportive. The soft underwires and stretch lace lets the full volume of my boobs just "hang out", or so it feels like. I love the low underwires and the stretchiness of the band and fabric, but there is a lot of jiggle and bounce when I wear this bra.

I can't tell the model of this bra from the tag. It seems to be an older version of the Felina Conturelle Provence.
At first try it feels ok, full coverage underwire with good support, straps are nice and wide. It has pretty embroidery and transparent lace top cup, shows my nipples through. The wires I think are slightly too large/wide for me as I feel them under my arms and it bothers me. The band is also too big on the tightest hook. Also a slight spillage at top of cup. After wearing for a short period of time, the wires under and between the breasts are VERY uncomfortable, scratchy and digging in. I like the uplifted look it gives me, but I cannot wear this bra for more than an hour, probably because it is the wrong size.
