Now that I know about scooping and swooping, I find that this is the only non-push-up bra in my collection that still fits reasonably well (if I let some tissue escape to my armpit, so that I don't have quadboob). It does ride up in the back a bit even on the tightest hook setting (I've had this one for more than a year, too, so the band may have stretched out from what it would be like, new). The best thing about this bra, for me, is that the underwire is wide and long enough to comfortably fit around the roots of my breasts, without excess space. ...The gore lies flat after sccoping and swooping, and is a good height and separation for me. Now if only the cups were a little larger, and the band was tighter...
This bra seems to be of good quality: I got it at TJMaxx, I can't remember when, but more than a year ago... probably less than 3 years ago. It's still in perfect shape, even though I wear it a few times a week, and it does give a nice smoothing effect under clothing, as befits a t-shirt bra. The cups are seamless (I guess they would be called "molded"?). It's quite comfortable to wear, despite the under-arm boob escape. Read more 112 more words
Was favorite since 2005, when measured for 32C @ Nodstrom (previously had been wearing 34B since 1997). I loved it so much I refused to wear anything else. I bought it repeatedly over the years, and just removed the tags on one in my stash. Unfortunately, I realized this isn't my size.
The main issues for me are: 1) band size too big, 2) due to big band size, underwires move too far forward, and poke into side tissue, 3) if swoop-and-scooping, some quad-boob occurs.
However, these are all *fit* issues, and I don't blame the bra. The fabric is comfortable - it is smooth, looks nice under clothing, ...and a classy, simple, basic bra. This was my staple for years.
EDIT: I ninja-bra-fitted my mom! She is a tiny lady, but was wearing terrible, ancient, thickly molded 34B strapless bras for years, and her boobs were basically hanging out at waist-level. I just handed this too her without telling her the size, and it fits her pretty darn well! I gave her my entire stash of Calvin Klein T-shirt bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":-D" /> Read more 78 more words
It seems to run extra tight in the band. I measure myself at 27 inches in the rib cage and still feel like this is super tight in the 30 band. Because this is more like a 28DD than a 30DD, the cups didn't fit right and I was coming out of them.
I'm truly a 26DD, but Calvin Klein doesn't make 28 band sizes, so I got my sister size of 30C. It actually fits really well, the band is a little tight for a 30 and doesn't stretch too much. The underwire doesn't come up very far in the front which is good for me because otherwise it presses against my sternum. The lace at the top doesn't show very much through tight shirts, and doesn't itch! The bra is very comfortable and the cups give great support. The only problem for me would be that the top edge of the bra doesn't lay flat against my breast tissue, but i'm pretty sure that's more of a personal fit issue since i'm fuller on bottom. But this bra fits better than most others i've worn in that regard, so i'm not really going to dock off any points for that.
I got the strapless and it fits even tighter than the regular customized lift. I'm a 26DD too, but since I'm not too busty I've been content with the 28s so far (and this CK bra in a 30D).
This bra is meant to be a strapless bra and has a sweetheart kind of cut, but comes with removable straps that I suppose could be attached in a variety of ways. Note: This is the only bra I own in this size, and it's a bit big on me...but the 32C gave me a "dented" boob look. This bra is intended to be a push-up, but on account of awkward padding it fits me like a normal bra (by which I mean it doesn't add cleavage to my frame).
What I like about the bra: -it looks smooth under clothes -despite having to wear it on the smallest/tightest hook, it ...doesn't move around at all during a regular day -it offers ample support -well constructed
What I dislike about the bra: -it does slide a bit in the back during heavy dancing, but not to the point where I have feared a nip slip (the front seems to hold up fine) -I experienced no discomfort when I tried it on in the store, but wearing for a whole day is not at all comfortable! each side (under the armpit area) is reinforced by two vertical strips of boning/wire, which jab into the little flap of skin right there! very painful! it leaves red marks at the end of the day...and the band size is actually too large for me, so it's not a matter of tightness, but engineering! -the top of the cups go up very high Read more 131 more words
classic sporty bralette, cute casual, best for lounging around the house, working a physical job, working in the yard, a light low impact workout, yoga, etc.
The tag is itchy. The fabric is very soft. It is wide enough to cup my wide-set breasts, yey. However there is some gapping at the top. Not as much cleavage as my other bras, but my other bras don’t fit properly so that’s probably why the cleavage is better. And these cups are maybe a bit big. Either that or the gapping is because I’m not full on top enough for this bra.
EDIT: After wearing several times, this is the most painful bra I have. Because I have injured shoulders. It triggers my injury. I cannot find a good adjustment for the straps without them hurting or falling off my shoulders.
I tried on the 32DD, and the straps were quite wide-set, seem like they may fall off my shoulders. The cups seemed like they fit the same however I didn’t like how they were really high coverage, like the cups seemed huge. Wide, I guess.
bought this to replace my last daily driver, but it's only confirmation I need to go for smaller bands. The straps fall off my shoulders when sitting, the cups are too tall at the underarm and can gape, and the clasp area is very irritating/itchy. I really wanted to love this bra but it's only been a few months and I can't stand it. It's like wearing a poncho under a cocktail dress
32D fit perfectly except I had to put the band on the tightest hook. I looked and they didn’t have 30D in store, I don’t know if the bra comes in that size at all. There was no gapping even on my small boob!!!!! And the wires extended far enough to fit my wide roots. But maybe if I tried 30D the wires would be too narrow, who knows.
The mold isn't a perfect fit. The bra is maybe a tiny bit too small, but the cups are mostly flush with my chest so I don't mind. It has spaghetti straps, and all of the fabric is thin.
The band is really tight, as expected for a strapless bra. This bra is mostly comfortable, but I didn’t like how the cups fit and seemed to cut into my tail of Spence.
Needed a new bra cause my body size has changed recently. Was the most expensive of all the similar looking/sized bras I took into the fitting room, fit annoyingly well.
The underwire didn't sit comfortably under the breast and the cups were too small with all my breast tissue scooped into it. Otherwise, the band is comfortably tight and doesn't stretch too much too quickly, the straps function well but are made from that weird stiff material rather than soft fabric.
Lightly padded with Soft fabric. The edge is tapered to give a nice seamless look. The straps are a little bit further apart than most. Overall a comfortable bra.
I got the strapless and it fits even tighter than the regular customized lift. I'm a 26DD too, but since I'm not too busty I've been content with the 28s so far (and this CK bra in a 30D).
