I got this bra in a transfer from another bratabase user in December 2014, and then I safely stashed it away and promptly forgot where I put it! So here is the 6-months late, long-overdue review for the purple colorway:

This is a cute bra, and I wish it worked for me. The cups are absolutely a no-go, and not just because they are probably 3 cup sizes too big (maybe 3.5 on my smaller breast). The top panel is set at that angle that always cuts me off across the top of my super-tall breast root, the same way all strapless bras, shapewear, and dresses do too. The wires slide down within 10 minutes to sit about 3/4" below the base of my boobs, and then the ends start to poke my sternum at the center gore. Plus, the band is just perfect on the tightest hook, so it wouldn't last long anyway.

The underarms are the best part! The wires come up really high but aren't uncomfortable at all. They are wide enough and the curve under my arm is a shallow-enough angle for my breast root. I wish I could superimpose them onto some of my other bras that fit everywhere else!

The matching bikini knickers are made of the same purple mesh. They are a size UK 12 and just slightly too big for my 39" (99 cm) hips.

This bra is not owned any more
