Mine is ivory-colored and altered to have the band stretch to ~27 inches.
The cups are shallow and they work very well with my shallow boobs. The laces and the seam on the cups show through thinner tops very easily. I can't really comment on the band stretchiness as I have the band altered, but the material for the band is a delicate, stretchy mesh material which is not very firm. Without the alteration, the band was really big on me (26" underbust, usually fine with 28s)
This bra works quite well with my relatively wide-set breasts, though it keeps them to the sides when I prefer a more front-and-center type of look. It does make them look nice and round, though, and the open top is much appreciated since I am more full on top. The band is also stretchy and not snug enough on my 27" ribcage, but the worst part is the rubbing where the cup meets the straps. It definitely takes me a while to get used to it. I didn't end up keeping this bra.
I'm currently happy with the way this bra fits. It works pretty well under t-shrits though the straps are wide-set which many of my tank tops don't cover. From the front, the bra makes my bosom look much wider than any of my other bras, and doesn't give my side profile much projection. Just a different style/aesthetic I guess. So far it's been comfortable to wear and we'll see how it hold up over time.
When I am all in the bra I am definitely overflowing the cups. The straps are too wide for my frame and cut into my arms. The back rides up throughout the day and the band shifts and my breasts fall out of the cups with fairly minimal movement. I want to like this bra but doubt that even a larger cup/smaller band would address the issue of the straps.
This is the first bra I've found that fits really well. I measure as a 28E, but decided to try the 30DD. The band really was as stretchy as everyone said it was, however after I took the band in about 1/2in on each side it fit perfectly and the extra stretch helped in making that alteration more comfortable. Not only is this a gorgeous bra, but it fits my shallow breasts perfectly and is ridiculously comfortable.
I really wanted to love this bra, as the band and cups were perfect. Sadly, the straps are set too wide apart for me and started chafing after a short time.
This is one of my favorite bras of all time! I have it in two different colors with the matching bottoms. It doesn't feel like I have anything on. It creates a great shape. Since the cups are pretty soft they are forgiving for when I fluctuate a little bit. There is never any gapping at the top.
OMG, it's as wide as my breasts! When I first put it on, it was the most comfortable bra I've ever tried. (This is because I've only ever worn bras that have too-big bands and too-small cups... who knew.)
However, it stretches like you wouldn't believe. And the underwires poke and hurt when the band isn't tight enough. At first I thought I was crazy, that it had felt so good when I tried it on, and then when I wore it a couple days later (after washing) it hurt! Finally I figured out I needed to tighten it a notch. I'm already wondering about tightening it again.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying it, because it stretches out too quickly. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Sad me, because it fit so well when I first got it.
Beautiful bra with soft lace, a pink illusion overlay on top of nude cups, and a great seamless, moulded shape for t-shirts. It's a deep plunge, which is great, but it seems very wide-set -- I end up with empty space at the sides (bottom) while tissue spills out in the front and out the sides (from the top) simultaneously. Weird fit for me -- just not compatible!
Almost perfect. There is the teeniest, tiniest bit of overflow on the top cup on the right but not enough to be problematic. It doesn't even show through a thin shirt. I'm pretty comfortable calling this a fit. Very comfortable bra, no pokey or scratchy parts. And it's really cute.
ETA: Unfortunately after I few hours of wear, I started to get a pretty major quadboob. Not a fit after all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I LOVE this bra. I just recently measured myself and have started rebuying my bra wardrobe. I was previously wearing a 32B which would gap and the band would ride up, and 32A was always too small. So far this is my favorite bra. I am measured to be around a 28D, but because of my shape, sometimes bras are a little too big in my size, but a size down would be too small.
This bra is perfect. I have shallow breasts that are wide set, so I enjoy a good pushup to give me some cleavage and a nice full round shape under a shit. This is the first bra that has no gapping when I wear it. It's a great shape and very lightweight, despite being padded. The band also fits snug on the second hook. I have been able to find more selection in a 30C than a 28D, and a 30C is much better for me than a 32B!
Cute bra (in a tacky kinda way) no projection really, more of a flattened out shape (ok, maybe that's just my shape). But it is SO soft and COMFORTABLE! One of the few bras I can wear all day with no issues The band is probably a true 32, so it's big on me and I'll have problems when it stretches. I'll add measurements soon. Another good Nordy's Rack <$10 find, so I'm very happy with it.
The best fitting bra I've tried so far. The lining is soft, the lace is a little rough, but it is never directly against the skin so it isn't important. The band is very stretchy and comfortable, though, I am concerned it will stretch out quickly. The straps are almost completely adjustable, and the two ribbons that begin the strap have the added benefit of creating a better fit for the top of the cup. Unfortunately, the top of the cup is cut for a fuller on top breast.
Bra feels so nice... except for the fact that the underwire/straps pinch the flesh underneath my armpit. Otherwise, it'd be the perfect bra for me. It fits my breasts perfectly.
I want this bra to fit so badly, but it's just too shallow at the bottom of the cup for me. I love the look of the bra but it just doesn't work for me!
I'd read reviews saying this bra was comfortable, and it certainly is that! It's also the most stretchy bra I've run across so far. I have very little squish on my ribcage and so generally prefer 30 bands, but this one I fastened on the tightest hook and could still stretch it waaaay out from my back. It starts crawling upwards almost immediately.
The cups are edging on too wide for me, as the straps are nearly in my armpits. Fortunately it's very comfy, but still.. The stretchy cottony mesh stuff used on the band, especially at the wings, is the most flimsy stuff imaginable. While I'd love to keep this bra, as the cups do fit well and it's certainly comfortable, the band size is a no-go.
This is one of the few bras of this style that *really* fits me right! The moulded cups are thick enough to prevent show-through but thin and soft (and squishy!) enough to be comfortable while still holding shape. The moulding gives me an especially nice rounded shape (my breasts start low and are fuller on the bottom) and compensates for my somewhat different-sized breasts (my left one is fuller). Rather than repositioning or squishing my breasts, they simply contain them nicely with no shifting, bulging, or gapping. The flat, stretchy ribbon at the top is especially nice for a flat, seamless effect.
The underwire is low enough in both ...the sides and the centre gore for my frame (often a problem with non-plunge bras because my sternum protrudes somewhat), and don't poke at all.
I have the nude with black overlay and stripes, so it looks a little less pubescent. The pink was a little too much for me. I am debating removing the little pink bows on each strap.
So far this has to be one of my favourite bras in terms of fit and comfort. Time will tell whether it holds up!
6-Month Update:
I have machine washed this on gentle cycle in a bra bag (cold water, quick soak, swish, and rinse cycle of about 15 minutes) and laid flat to dry, but after about 6 months, the underwire of the left cup poked through the centre gore material on the inside and stars sliding upward through the hole. Not a big deal. I "reset" it by pushing it back through the meshy soft material before I wear it, and it tends to stay there for at least 12 hours, unless I'm moving around a lot.
The band does stretch out more quickly than bands in other materials. I guess that's the trade-off of this soft material. I can still get away with wearing on the loosest hook, if I don't move around too much, but if I'm going to be lifting my arms at all, I have to go into the middle set of hooks, and I wear it on the tightest hooks if I go dancing (fairly athletic - lindy hop and balboa). It still does move with my breasts and give me the best shape of all "non-enhancing" bras. Read more 271 more words
I have very shallow, moderately wide breasts that are vaguely conical in shape.
I'd read that this bra was great for shallow breasts, and I can confirm that it is. It technically fit me pretty darn well. My problem with this bra, though, is the same problem I have with every lightly lined bra: my natural breast shape shows through. I don't care for my natural shape, so I found this bra to be quite unflattering on me. If you like your natural shape and you have shallow breasts, then this bra will most likely work for you.
The band was pretty stretchy, which I like. I measure about 28" around the ribs, and I could probably get away with wearing it on the loosest or middle hooks for a while.
Beyond that... Well, I tried this on in the fitting room, so I don't have any long term impressions of it. But it's a very pretty bra, and seems to be well constructed.
