I might have to try more Decos. I tried a whole bunch in the old model and they never fit.

It's a pretty pattern. Sheer upper panels on the cup. Unlined. Band is rue to size.
It gives a pointy shape. I tend towards even, maybe a smidge fob. It seems to be more east/west shape, and is minimizing. Something between the wire width and no side panels for extra oomph, perhaps?
It is not shallow. I fill out the entire cup, no wrinkles, no pushing down my chest.
I don't really like the shape, but it des seem comfortable.

I just scored two new-with-tag sets in 75B/12. One of those looks a bit like beige Portia-pushup mix. Stay tuned, I will list them as soon as I will get home from work also I want to thank everyone who donated to my bra project! Today I've spent about $10 on bras (Polish brand) and all of that money came from Bratabase users!

I love this bra. It is very comfortable and gives me a great shape. There is plenty of stretch in the band which allows for free movement. No pokes anywhere. I could wear this bra all day. I would definitely buy this bra again. And I love this color, Fatal Violet. It was on sale, too!
It's my new favorite bra. I just wish they made a plunge or demi version.

This 40J - Decent Exposures » Cami-bra Scoop Back (410) is the best bra ever and the best camisole I've ever owned! Decent Exposures has outdone themselves! I chose a cami-bra to get something I could dance and exercise in that would hold my boobs comfortably. This is their unbra style with a bodice attached, ... not truly a longline bra or corset. There are no hooks, making this a truly comfortable bra.
This is a pull on garment, but it is very easy to get into. The wide elastic band provides support all the way around the bra. There is no chaffing or discomfort from the band, but if you did have any discomfort, you could request latex free elastic and alternative construction.
There are four or five kinds of fabric leading to dozens of color/fabric choices. I limit my selection to the three that make the best big boob bras: lined lycra has two layers of stretch fabric (one each with the stretch going different directions. This allows the fabric to be very supportive. This has lined panels in the front and back for even wear and tear. I'd like to get at least three more cami bras both sleeveless and at least one more with 3/4 length sleeves. This makes great long underwear as well.
Of course, without the construction of conventional bras, some tailored looks won't work with thi s bra. I'm going to request a longer looper on the next one for a little less cleavage for more public wear.
All Decent Exposure bras are perfectly customizable. When you first order, they help you design a perfect fit. I chose to add a wide looper and 3 inches to the bodice (but turns out I should have gone with the standard 12.5 inches). I also had the elastic reduced by 1 inch to effectively make a 39 inch band.
This is the most comfortable thing I've ever stretched over my boobs since a cozy blanket. I've had to force myself to not wear it every day since I received it and will order another sans sleeves immediately.

I'd never thought of trying one of those, but I bought one of their tankini bathing suits one year - the tank is attached to but over top of the bra in that one, and it kept riding up. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable wearing something that form-fitting, though - of course, I dont dance and only exercise at home.
dbmamaz: good to know about the tankini. I was suspicious of that. I think I would go with this kind of style with a longer looper in one of their swim fabrics for swimming.
I hear you about wearing this out like it is, but if the looper were 4 inches longer (making the thing 2 inches higher in the front) I would have no problem doing that. I just like this so much I wouldn't send it back. This makes excellent long underwear and I also use it under sleeveless tops and loose tops to stretch them into winter. This is such a great layer! It's really warm and comfy.
I literally wear it all the time and sleep in it sometimes too. I am not a fan of sleeping in bras. so, there you go

Valentine556 wrote in an adventure a couple of days ago about using birdseed in pantyhose as a breast substitute, and I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this.
I occasionally use breast substitutes in my larger-cupped bras, but I use water balloons. I purchased some large balloons at a party store; ones that I can ... fill up to varying degrees without applying pressure to the skin of the balloon. It seems to give me a very lifelike breast substitute. The only things I don't like about them is they tend to give off a rubber odor, and the colors (red, green, blue, yellow) show through the more shear bra cups.
I have tried using rice in pantyhose in the past, but was unimpressed with the result. It was stiff and hard, and did not move naturally with my body.
Does the roundness of the birdseed allow it to move and flow more freely?
Are there more suitable materials than these?

Regular birdseed (according to my friend who has used this method in the past when she was pre-hormones and pre-surgery) has the right heft and moves in a more 'natural' way. She says that you have to find the kind without sunflower seeds in it though, but that makes it cheaper. Other than that, she recommends looking at 'cutlets', especially the options you would find sold by retailers with clothing/costumes/accessories for drag performers. They will usually have sizes that their clientele can actually get the right fit with - a rarity with even the larger women's size offerings. Balloons with water will have the risk of spontaneous deflation and the obvious wet spot - even though encased in a bra, the latex may be thin at various parts and friction or slight pressure can cause them to burst.
I've seen some extraordinary falsies from distributors on eBay.
The Szarotka is a balcony cut bra made of four parts in this size, with the upper cup made of a stretch lace. The lower cup is made of the decorative powernet together with a layer of non-stretch stabilising fabric. The straps are fully adjustable and it fastens with 3 rows of 3 columns of hooks.
I'd say that the stock ... photos are a reasonably accurate representation of the bra. It's mostly a black and pink floral print with lighter pink trimmings and stretch lace. I found that the contrasting pink and black made the chances of the bra showing through a t-shirt reasonably high, but I find the print quite cute.
I got this band size as I bought the bra NW/oT. It's *very* stretchy, as I was fully expecting the band around my shoulderblades with a 70cm snug ribcage, but while it's not perfectly parallel all the way around, it's still somewhat stable. You may want to consider going for your larger preferred band size in this model.
The bra cut reminds me of the Panache Jasmine somewhat, but the wires are considerably narrower, and a good match for my narrow roots. The stretch lace is definitely large breast magic, providing light coverage and support without digging in. I'm genuinely suprised, as I'd probably take a 60M or 65M in an S cut, so I was thinking I may be sized out, but if anything, the cups look almost a little too large on top. They are a bit tall for my high-set, short-rooted breasts though, so possibly shortening them a little will fix the issue. I fill the bottom of the cup just fine. The cup shape is a bit less rounded and uplifted than the S or PL cuts, but this puts less pressure on the base of the wires.
At least based on inital impressions, I'd warmly suggest this bra for people with large busts and narrow roots. The stretch lace also means that those with upper or lower fullness should be able to get a good fit in the cups.
Edit: After wearing the bra for some time, I can add some additional impressions to my review. I reduced the height of the cups slightly, and I also took in the band extensively (the band did seem to stretch out rather rapidly, necessitating a second reduction in length). It is to some extent a confusing bra, as I can't quite decide whether the bra is too small (I bulge a little in the centre), or too large in the cup (my breasts seem to sit a bit low and away from my chest). I also have a minor issue with the fact that the gore tacks in this bra, as my breasts are close-set to the point of touching so it lies on breast tissue. My biggest problem though is with the straps on this bra, which are woefully inadequate for the weight of my breasts, even with a firm band. They're not reinforced enough, and so they buckle and fold inwards, even when worn as loose as they can go. I have very high-set breasts and will often need to tighten straps most of the way, so this is clearly some sort of material issue. These straps aren't quite as bad as the ones in my 75K - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Bianka (532) , but are still rather uncomfortable. I have experienced issues with EM straps in the past and think that maybe the choice of materials needs to be carefully considered for the large cup sizes. Aside from the straps, the bra is still comfortable and flattering to wear, and I should really just go and replace the bra straps with another pair out of my stash.

The stretch lace is amazing. I think EM really needs to rearrange her sizing on it to more closely match the S series because I thought we'd be sized out.
The tallness of the cups is present on me as well, although I extremely appreciate it and need it in the inner cup, which is what finally made this my best fitting bra since I apparently need an unusual amount of height near the gore to not spill out. Looking at your pictures, it looks like you could size down even.
I'm happy to see this bra working for others! I just ordered more and hope they're based off this one.
Oh wow. Now I really want to try one myself!
Good to hear about the tall cups and that it runs big - I thought I'd be sized out too. So one can probably go with their UK size?
Is stretch lace as "stretchy" as on Jasmine or Envy or more sturdy (maybe like Boudoir Beau but stretchier?)

Hi girls
I just found a source of $3-5 bras from the Panache family. Would you be interested in giveaway for those? The thrift store I buy in promised to set aside those in better condition (I gave them a list of brands). Please sign up under this post so that you will be notified once I list another bra! I promise, this time they will be much more diverse in size! <3
