My husband pointed this out & he's right. I have quite broad shoulders, so this bra is probably best for women with narrow shoulders.LuciaOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668069677674140541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-24376175199266449252013-10-31T20:42:37.751-07:002013-10-31T20:42:37.751-07:00I'm full on bottom, and while this is not at a...I'm full on bottom, and while this is not at all sexy, it's not bad. On me. But, I also think how a bra wears is more than top vs bottom fullness. I'm central full, so plunges stand no chance ever. I don't migrate to the side due to scar tissue, which gives me some cheating room. My tissue is dense and heavy, can self support to some extent (my mother and sister without reductions and who wear bad fitting bras can also self support, so it's lucky genes for me), yet the tissue is fairly willing to move to a degree.<br /><br />This bra isn't cleavage central. That's why I have Decos and vertical seamed bras. It's not my absolute favorite shape, as I don't like pointy at all. It fits like a full cup on me, so I get minor gapping and I really want more lift, but more lift means new shirts, and the gaps are concealed by my shirts. But, it's comfortable - so it fits right - and it's serviceable. Because, try as I may, deep purple with black lace overlay, corset laced sides and ornate cup decor in a vertically seamed bra doesn't work under white and I can't button a large shirt and XL is iffy. I'm a small to medium, XL means I'm wearing a tent and look like a flying squirrel.<br /><br />Plus, holding my breasts in a different position with the straps in a good inch - which greatly helps my issue on full cups not giving any lift - some days is more comfortable.

I have full-on-the-bottom boobs and found it hideously flattening and splaying, but if you have the opposite shape and get cleavage in everything, it might be a good one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-22928854991037589222013-10-30T09:13:51.152-07:002013-10-30T09:13:51.152-07:00I've been using this bra for years as a daily ...I've been using this bra for years as a daily minimizing bra, that's the way it works for me. I like the way the straps are located, it's reliable as a work bra, I don't need to pull the straps at all during the day, as my job is very physical and I move, bend and lift things all the time. Love the way it looks under relaxed, a bit boyish button shirts, this bra is the only way I can wear that kind of clothes with my hour glass figure. It's definately not sexy or even pretty, at least on me, it looks very different on me than on you, but it's the only bra that I can forget my big bust with. I'd like to find some other bra that fits like this one also, but search continues:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-45129112592740677262013-10-29T15:26:04.597-07:002013-10-29T15:26:04.597-07:00Yay!

Esme looks almost boring under clothing, but that's better than the Deco excessive porn star boob look - and yes, I'm wearing the right cup size. With Esme, I can wear normal store button downs, in my beloved vertical seam bras and anything that gives me purple shape, I have to go up two sizes or buy specialty shirts. So, I might own oh 7 Esme.Slightly Evil Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337721669405404052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-90558236921425028742013-10-29T14:36:35.763-07:002013-10-29T14:36:35.763-07:00Great post.

I've the Esme in black and it's comfortable with its more centered straps and especially with his thin fabric on hot summer days. It's furthermore invisible under clothing. On the top of the cups it makes some small wrinkles on my breasts, but is not a problem for me. I think, the Esme is a good all-day bra.BraBerlinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083423263520203325noreply@blogger.com
