Fornight i want to love you but you don't leave enough space for my inner fullness. I think it's time we'll have to part ways as sad as it makes me. You are so lovely and classy looking but you just aren't the one for me.
This colorway reminds me of vintage lingerie. The band should be loose enough for me to be comfortable but I feel a bit pinched on my 29" underbust
This was my very favorite of all the Fortnights I tried in terms of shaping/comfort. The band doesn't feel like someone is trying to break your ribs, and the cups were the most comfortable. Unfortunately, at this point, Mary Jane and I were not meant to be. This is best suited for FOB shapes - or shallow shapes, perhaps? I could not fill out the tops of these cups, nor the bottoms, and it cut into my center fullness.
The Vega bra quickly became a favorite. I bought it knowing it was the wrong size and that longlines don't usually work for me, but wanted to experience a wire free bra. I loved it under my clothes, and was suprised at the nice shape it gave at the apex. But the fact remains it is not the size for me, and after a few wears, I'm ready to accept that. @Fortnight lives up to their reputation and I can see why people love them.
I'm super impressed with this bra. I bought it used but the band is still super firm, which provides good support since there is no underwire. It might actually be too tight for my 30" underbust if it was new.
I was a bit skeptical about the light blue and beige color scheme, but it looks pretty cute. It's unique!
The cups are a bit wide set and could be more narrow, but overall I like this. I have bras in both 30DD and 30e. There is no quadboobing in this but I feel like sometimes the band sits on my breast tissue a bit. Maybe this is the ...consequence of an unwired bra. Maybe it's because I need a bit more immediate projection. I think a 30E would work a bit better for me. However, It's comfy and I can see myself wearing it regularly.
The downside is that the shape it gives me is very blah - I guess this is somewhat expected with an unwired bralette. It looks terrible under clothes on me, and I'll probably never or rarely wear it out. Without clothes, it looks awesome though... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> Overall, i really can't see spending the retail price on something that gives me this shape. I love the bralette trend happening lately, where you wear them with a shirt that lets it show off, but I don't feel like this bralette is right for that either - it is too bra-like, maybe. Or maybe it might work if it was in a fun, bright color or just a plain black. So, overall, I reach for my VS bralettes way before I reach for it when it comes to fashion and shape.

My first Fortnight, thanks to kerniss! I’ve appreciated this brand for a long time, but my very projected, non-self-supporting, fairly close-set 30FF bust is typically a dreadful match for wireless bras and bralettes… though I love the way they look! Because Fortnight stops at an F cup, I had to size up a band in order to try them out. Fortunately, Luna seems to run firm in the band, and I'm able to wear it comfortably on the second set of hooks.
It’s not a perfect fit: the ribbon edging closes off the cups a little, cutting into my larger boob especially near the center. Because ...there’s no wire to separate my boobs, they tend to fall towards one another as the day goes on, exaggerating this quadding effect. Based on this, I think Luna might be best for self-supporting FOB shapes, although it’s passable as a comfort bra on pendulous, even shapes like mine. The shape it gives is a low but fairly rounded teardrop, not excellent but not terrible either. It is super comfortable and lightweight… such a relief to put on at the end of the day or any time I’m just around the house! However, having my boobs touch seems to increase boob sweat, and a strange thing I’ve noticed about this bra is that sweat “stains” the fabric of the band, although the marks go away as soon as you wash it.
Aesthetically, the design is casual and minimalistic but beautiful! I love the semi-sheer beige cups and the satiny mauve panel in the front. Altogether, I don’t think it would be worth it to me to buy Fortnight at full price (although the quality of the materials seem to justify the cost) just because it’s not perfect size or shape wise. Still, Luna is the best wireless bra I’ve ever tried, and I’m very happy to have it.
I just need a little more depth. My soft tissue might still fall forward and quad a little in the center though. In person this bra reminds me of a vintage slip which I personally like. Over wide width is not uncomfortable in any way. But unfortunately for me the search for a long line comfort bra continues.
I love the design aesthetics of Fortnight - however, their 30 bands are generally too uncomfortable for me to wear. I absolutely need extenders for them. They still create an uplifted shape and I am genuinely surprised at that fact! Under clothes, it makes for a minimized profile.
Love this! Very comfortable. Minimized shape. Cups are set more widely than are a best fit for me. Longline is comfortable. I'd love to get this in a cup size up
I bought this bra after reading reviews that it ran small enough to be a 28C. I measure as a 26D and this bra is too big in every way. I found the band to be more stretchy than other 30Bs I own. The band length is longer than other 30-band Lunas on Bratabase. I bought this bra during the boxing day rush, so perhaps the quality isn't up to par.
Other than the sizing, I found all the seams to be a bit itchy. Not too much that I need to scratch, but it's noticeable throughout the day. Also, the cups are made of mesh, so there is nipple show-through.
I've tried most of Fortnight's wireless styles and I really love the Mira. It's comfortable, it's cool for summer, they're all pretty, and the shape isn't bad. I have some East/West going on, but that's okay. As far as I'm concerned these are house bras that I can run errands or answer the door in. They give my bony sternum a nice break from underwires and I'll wear them on lazy house days.

This is the only non-underwire bra I have been able to find that is supportive enough to wear outside. I love the design of Fortnight pieces and it doesn't hurt they are local for me.
Very comfy! It gives me a quadboob and fairly decent support. This will not lift your girls to your collarbone, FYI. This may work better on shallow girls, as I am projected and even/FOT.
This might rub up in your armpits if you have a short torso like me. This does fit better in the cups, though, than the other 30Fs I have in this cut (though the band is a bit big). This is probably the most comfortable of the bunch, as I don't get itchy around where the elastic was at the end of the day.
PS - the measurement for "wire channel" is just the bottom perimeter of the cup, as this doesn't have wires.
Selling a pink and white 30C Vega Longline by Fortnight. I accidentally bought the worng size in the bra and can not return it. Fortnight lingerie is a petite friendly company meaning there 30 bands fit like 28's. Also in the Vega size the cups run one size small so most go up a size in the cup. I am a 28D and I should have bought a 30D not 30C. This style would best fit a 28B. Will send pictures if needed.
Where do I begin my love for the Luna set by Fortnight. I purchased both the black longline in a 30C and high waist knickers in a small fro mthe company. I first found out about Fortnight throught a lovely blog by undiegamer. Luna has a sterdy longline made of mesh and jersey. The outer side of the band is jersey while teh inner art of the band is coated in mesh. The cups of the bra are sheer and also made of a sturdy mesh. As noted I picked my usualy size, Fortnight is cut small in band so their 30's fit more like a 28. This ...particular style I would say is probably the smallest cut bad wise of there three styles (Mira, Luna, Vega). As for teh knickers these run small, I ordered a small, and I would almost say I wish I had gotten a medium. To note I'm about size 00 or 24 in pants with a 25 inch waist and these knickers are very snug. I would say someone with maybe a 23-24 waist would fair well with the small, not sure if it because its made from mesh that its snug fitting. The good side is, that its not uncomfotably tight and therefore I can get away in these. They are not seeamless as the site notes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I still have quite the visable pany line. All and all I would recommend this bra and knickers set. Read more 143 more words
This is a very understated wireless bra. For me, this had great support and was immensely comfortable - at first. I am experimenting with sizing after years of wearing the wrong size. I have realized it is too small. I am not an expert like many of you, but I think this fits like a 28 D or 28 DD. Note that the sides come up fairly high under my arms - perhaps because I am only 5'3. It is just OK on me, but if you are any shorter the underarm fit might be an issue.
For those looking into Fortnight, I've read that the Vega runs a cup size small and therefore to order a cup size larger than you normally would. The Undiegamer has a set of reviews on the brand.
I love this bra but I wish I had sized up in the cups. It is so comfortable and gives me such a great shape without wires but it does cut into the inside top of my boobs giving me a little quadboob. I think the long line shape is very flattering under clothes, and the vertical seams on the cups help with nipple show through.
