    30F

    Used to fit

    My shape: Even to FOB, soft, low set, with narrow and short roots.

    The bra: This bra is so pretty! Such a beautiful springy-summery bra, I love it! The colours are vibrant and pop out set on the white background. There is a tiny white bow on the gore and straps; very cute and understated. It is a 3 part lightly padded half cup with 2 vertical seams, and it is a longline with 5 clasps x 3 columns. The material is satiny on the outside and cottony on the inside, which means shirts don't get stuck on the outside material. Straps are fully adjustable, and I have ... plenty of length left even though I'm lower set. I find the band "true to size" for a 30, stretching just past 30" before wires start to distort... snug not tight, and perfect for a longline. This bra is super comfortable on top of everthing... No rubbing, chaffing, etc. The lower band does bunch up a bit after wearing it, but I think that happens in most longline bras.

    The shape: ROUND, uplifted, centered, cakes on plates. The cups are short enough to really show off the upper portion of the boob, and I'd definitely say it rivals Ewa Michalak bras for shaping. Of course, this bra is slightly small on me, so maybe I'd get less cleavage in a properly fitted bra, but I am impressed anyways. The straps are also not as wide-set as EM bras are, so there was no tail of spence chaffing. There are no cookie pockets, so keep that in mind if you're comparing EM vs this bra.

    I'm considering ordering the larger size to see if it encloses everthing a bit more. I do feel a bit squished, and my upper boob is flattened from the bra being a bit too small. I am worried that the larger size will be too large and create gaping though (ggrr, I hate being between sizes). Either way, lovely bra all around.

    • I wish i could wear it - but longlines are definietly not for me. Shame bravissimo doesnt offer it as a normal bra, as definitely Id buy it! Im very glad you like it (at least the aesthetics)

    • martka00 I know! I was thinking the same thing about it being a regular bra! Do you think a cup size up would be too big?

    • I think we should share the idea with bravissimo! :D

      in my opinion, the bra doesnt look like its size too big, more like half size - im not sure how the wires would be in bigger size. If youd decide, probably youd need to use cookies with it?
      I found bravissimo to be weird. I bought two plunges couple of days ago, and while the padded one I had to have in 30F, the soft I needed in 30E (and I have already same construction soft one but old model/sample and 30F is perfect). Also Satine i need to take in extra bigger size 30FF!

    • martka00 thanks for that. ... That's what I'm worried about too, and there are no cookie pockets, which is less comfortable. Maybe I'll just stick with this size. Perhaps the cups will stretch a touch and be just right. I really hate gaping in bras!

      That size variation would make it hard to shop online! So far I'm happy with Bravissimo though, so it's worth it! I haven't tried their satine bras yet because plunges don't really work for me, but I love the way they look.

      yeah, no cookie pockets its a struggle sometimes. Especially with pretty bras like this one! so lets hope as you saying it might stretch a bit and then will be great :)

      I agree, but im glad I ordered bras in two sizes (intuition worked very well!). Im very bad with plunges, so far didnt find perfect one as I have tall roots and all digs in, but now im wearing 30F - Bravissimo » Flutter Me Bra (LN236) for around 15 mins and seems to be promising, and has only tiny diggin in. Satines are bit worst but acceptable. Ill see how the 30F - Bravissimo » Starry Eyed Bra (LN271) will work as I might switch to them from Satine . Also I found bravissimo to be more comfortable than most brands (even Ewa bras and some Comexims) . If youll have a chance to try, go for it girl! Sometimes minor issues (like small digging in) are less important than the comfort offered by them.

    28FF

    Didn't fit

    Will probably update after wearing for a full day with further comfort info. I was really happy with the 30F I had of this same bra (but decided to exchange it for what I had thought would be a truer fit), but I'm honestly kind of disappointed with the 28FF. I won't be returning it since I don't think the fit issues are enough to warrant returning it again and this is the best fit I'll probably get with this bra. Firstly, the wires are definitely too wide for me, and it doesn't seem projected enough -- I don't really know where it wants my boob to go ... in the cup, since my left (smaller) breast both has quadboob and creates wrinkles in the fabric of the cup. My right (bigger) breast has worse quadboob but no wrinkles. The gore almost sits flat and probably would if the cups were just a little bigger, but I think a 28G would be too big. I also get a little more torpedo/Madonna-boob than I prefer. However, the fabric is soft and the print is pretty. I think I might have been more satisfied with the 30F because that was a good few weeks ago and I've gained more knowledge about bras/bra fitting since then, so I just didn't know enough to notice any issues.
    I know the problems I just listed seem like a lot for me not to want to return it again, but it basically fits and I like the bra itself.

    EDIT/UPDATE: This bra and my IMF are not BFFs. They’re not even friends. The underwires are constantly moving down and the gore digs into my chest because it’s too high for me. This bra is so clearly too shallow/wide for me that I think I’ll just list it and count this as an “I’m a fool” purchase.
