This Olivia bra has been in the Bravissimo sale section for ages already and it always called my name. So here it is. What made me hesitate was the neon orange color on the promo pics which I disliked. In person the bra is more of a muted leaning towards tomato red orange. A really nice fall color.
The Olivia is the same cut as 32J - Bravissimo » Alana Bra (AU01). The bras are known to be better for fob and even shape and not so good on fot. With my Alana I had the problem that the cups are not tall enough and don't ... have enough space on top.I guessed sizing up to K-cup would solve this. Too bad I also had to size down in band for that. It was an experiment. But it failed.

The K - cups are good for me in height and offer needed room in the middle / upper cup section. But the wires are much too wide, the straps are too seperated and they cut into my arms. I could close the band but it felt too tight. When I wore an extender, I got some slight wrinkling at the top of the cups. I also think that the tight band distorted the wires and made them even wider as they already were too wide on me. The bra felt supportive but I think it was only because the band was just very tight. I really liked the look and shape. I wore the bra 1 hour for trial at home, and when I sat down I felt the straps dig even more into my shoulders and that the cup fabric under my arms came up too high.
