Fits

I didn't know anything about this bra before I bought it, as there was almost no information about it on the web. You can see why the colorway is called "Jester Red," can't you? I fell in love with both the color and the style of this bra and decided to take a chance on it. Happily, it fits me very well and is very comfortable.

Being a "Wonderbra" I knew it probably had push up padding in it but was unsure of the amount. I was relieved to discover that the push up pads are not extreme in this one. It gives me a little extra lift and makes me look like I've got a little more on top than I really do, but it's not over-the-top at all. That's probably because I'm so shallow to start with that there isn't a huge amount to "push up," so YMMV. The pads are incorporated into the molded cup and aren't super thick. The bra doesn't have that heavily padded feel that some push up bras do.

The three vertical front seams and lace on the front of the cup are very smooth and flat so they aren't visible under clothing. The gore is one of the narrowest I've ever tried (3/4"). Wires seem somewhat wide, but not overly so.

The lace on the top and bottom of the band is soft, flexible, and stretchy. It's very comfortable, but doesn't really add to the support of the band (which is very supportive by itself). I haven't had a chance to wear this bra for more than a few minutes at a time, so I don't know if the lace at the bottom will try to roll up on me. I have a flared ribcage in the front (around the gore area), so I generally avoid longline bras for this reason. This is more of a wannabe longline, but I'm concerned I might still have the same problem of a rolling bottom edge. I won't loose any support if it does, and the lace is so soft that I might not even notice until I take off my shirt. The measurements that I put in Bratabase for the gore height and wing height do not include the lace. The gore height with the lace is 3.75" and the wing height with the lace is 4.5."

The straps are wide, firm, and very comfortable. They are only halfway adjustable and the back part unclips so that you can cross the straps in the back for a racerback configuration (see detail picture). I haven't had any trouble so far with the straps coming unhooked while putting the bra on or taking it off. This is my first bra with 4 hooks in the back, but since half of that width in the center back is from the lace, it doesn't feel particularly unwieldily. I have to say that the back of this bra is just as pretty as the front, which is very unusual.

This bra is just luscious in both feel and appearance. I feel very vampy in it, lol! Unsurprisingly, it was a hit with my husband.

  • Wow!
    I've never really liked Wonderbra (shape mismatch, predictable styles, too pricey and generally they have never worked for me) but this looks REALLY gorgeous on you!

  • Yeah, I stumbled across a picture of this and instantly loved it. Then I looked at the info and thought "Wonderbra! Seriously?" I really wasn't looking for a push up, but the style was so awesome that I couldn't pass it up.
