  I would say that is a perfect fit. Unpadded bras just dont squeeze you to this half circle shape.

  You look like you just actually have a very nice pair of well shaped breasts and real nipples on your own in this, which normally moulded bras just let us forget that those exist. This bra gives you a very good shape, I haven't seen such a good fit for a long time.
  The wire idea of valtron is a good one too!

  An unpaddet bra that might give you more of a round shape could be the Cleo George/Lizzie/Marcie/.. line, especially George, but that one is not in production anymore, you would have to look in Ebay and online sales for that.

  (When you get used to the view in your bra like this, you will start seeing how other women in wrong sized moulded bras look just stuffed.
  I for myself find it quite fun when i see that people realize that that are my actual boobs in that shirt, and not cotton and plastic.)

  • Thank you for the suggestion. Yes I think i'm not use to see the 'natural shape' of my boobs...
    I'm really happy to see that someone confirm that the bra fits me right :)

  The underwire in this bra is a significant amount shorter than the underwire casing (which is a bit silly in a bra cut so low under the arm already), which is contributing to the issue you're seeing on the side.

  I pushed the wires in mine all the way to the underarm side, like this: http://www.venusianglow.com/2012/08/fixing-underwires-that-hurt-sternum-by.html which both fixes the weird folding at the side by holding the edge of the cup where it should be, and makes the underwire lower in the center.

    That is a good tip! You say the shape is pointy, but I think it is just a natural breast shape. We're so used to squishing our boobs into badly-fitting bras that we think they should look round and orb-like. Your boobs look totally natural in this bra, just like they should be.

  • Just adding that the shape that Lyla gives you is not pointy. Are you talking about the seams of the bra being visible over the shirt? If so, try to line your nipple up with the seaming. Any slight wrinkling you get from this bra will likely be because of the mesh fabric.

  I just wanted to share my knowledge about the "pointy" thing... I agree that this shape is not "pointy," rather it's more of a "natural" shape. However, whether the shape is pointy or natural, some people simply prefer a rounder profile. (I'm one of them! I tried getting used to a more natural shape, but found that I missed the shape my old moulded cups gave me.) So I wanted to share some styles that have been pretty round-looking for me personally.

  -Any vertically-seamed padded halfcup: most of these are going to give a more rounded shape than a 3-part cup.
  Examples:
  Masquerade Rhea
  Freya padded halfcups (i.e. Ingrid/Patsy/Martha/Longlines)
  Cleo Juna and lookalikes (i.e. Ellie/Rihanna/Rita/Poppy)
  Ewa Michalak CHP, HP, and CH styles

  -Freya Deco: A much-loved moulded cup that gives a pretty round shape. Gives crazy cleavage for some people, depending on breast shape. There are also other versions of the deco with different names: Honey, Taylor, Ashlee, Carly, Crystal, Frida, etc.

  Other people more knowledgable than me, please add more! (Or correct me if I'm wrong!) This is just off the top of my head

  • seconding you on the pointy bit... I was looking at the pictures and wondering wth OP was talking about >,<

  • Yeah, like Florecita said, it's most likely just a shape that coconut isn't used to or doesn't really like. I just wanted to say that hey, it's okay if you don't prefer a "natural" shape. Not everyone does.

  • lol, I was just looking for like, a really pointy shape... I forget who it was, but someone did a fit request for the Dotty, was it? And oh man! and the Jeunique bra XD

  • Well, I wanted to say that my natural shape is pointy and the bra doesnt hide it, like moulded cup.
    For the moment I'm not use to see my breast shape (the pointy) even with a shirt on.
    Thank you for the suggestions! I'll take note for my next bra ! :)

  • seriously though, your boobs aren't pointy... pointy is madonna cone bra... if your boobs are pointy, mine are pancakes. just saying, I think they are a very nice shape. they kinda look like the ones in western comic books, which is a good thing IMHO

    and if they are truly pointy, I think the bra does a good job of making your boobs rounded. they're not like halved grapefruits, but a lot of the time that shape is from surgery, afaik.
