So, I added Coco Loco recently, in 30GG and it was way too small in the cup. I ordered another one in 32GG, wich is my last chance with this brand
as they don't seem to have a H. And I barely believe it, but it fits. The band is almost too large but ok right now.

The cut is literally perfect for my bust shape. It works so nicely, it lifts enough, it gives me a very very rounded shape and the wires are narrow enough.
I still can't forgett it when I wear ... it, I'm still very aware I'm wearing a bra when I wear it out, this might be because it is still sliiiightly tight, the longer I wear it the more the wire is pushed down and then I start quadding a bit. Weeell I kinda got this order right before my period and my boobs start swelling exactly a day before so I'm praying I will shrik into a 10/10 fit in a few days. Still, It's my best fit so far!

The only thing I'm disliking a little bit is the hard wire, I'm way too sensitive and such things bother me kind of quickly, I'm gonna see how the wires work longterm.

I also ordered the matching panties, they are cute and sexy and all but if I'm honest - not the kind of thing I can wear every day without beeing bothered, everything under the sun slides around and wears out on me, so it's mostly average cotton panties and "boyshorts" for me. But I like to own matching sets

I don't even know where to begin. I knew exactly how to write this review until I sat down and was actually about to type.
I really, really wanted this brand to work for me, so much. I just love them, their designs, their motivation, it all really spoke to me, but I realised that it's
simply not meant to be.

Good things first:
KH bras designs are just perfect, they're incredibly classy and simple but at the same time fancy, they are silky and lacey and feel good on the skin. Abbies Cups are made ... out of the most soft and delicate lace, then you have the buttons in the middle, and the shiny silk parts. I feel like even victorian royalty would enjoy this if bras would've been a thing back then. The color is more purple then I guessed from the photos on the website, wich is not a problem at all. It's kind of a light mauvey pastel violet color I haven't seen in lingerie before, I love it, it matches well with the golden details.

As someone with really sensitive skin fabric is often an issue for me, I had bras where alone the fabric or seams made it unwearable for me, Abbie is pretty much the opposite of that. It's the nicest feeling bra ever, it's really soft, the cups are the softest thing ever, without beeing unsupportive in general.

Well, this bra is not supportive FOR ME. The gore doesn´t tack at all, and the wires, like so often, are too wide. The side support sling clearly cuts into my breat tissue and the wires are too high up. The straps are too far apart and cut into my skin. And here I had my revelation. If the wire is perfect, the cups are too small. If the cups fit me, the wire is too wide. It's the curse of having big boobs on a small, short torso.

Also, forgott to mention: The bottom part in the front also digs into my skin and almost immediatly leaves red marks, probably because the whole cut does't fit me and the gore doesn't tack on the top. On the photo with the little bit of redness and slight little mark I literally only wore it for a few seconds to take photos. I wore it all day yesterday and it was pretty painfull and red, almost bruised.

EDIT: I added the measurement. So, the wire width is actually 14,5cm, the same as other bras where the wire fit me nicely wich is wired, I could swear it was too wide. It is definitely deeper/taller tho. I guess I just got a problem with tall wires.

EDIT2: Also forgott to mention: I got thiss a little cheaper from the outlet section, the lining of the cup and the wirecasing are a lighter color then the full price version.

I'm not a big fan of the design now that I've actually seen them in real life, and also the color looks quite different to the pictures online on this one. This is probably the most puke-colored bra I've ever seen, and the straps are rediculously massiv with applications on them that are also really effing massiv.
The cups give me cone and table-boob and cut in on the top. I guess they're a bit too projected and closed off for me.

EDIT: If anyone wants to order from Avocados polish website, I suggest some decently strong nerves because their costumer service is not the best. This whole process of ordering and returning took so long. I live is germany, polands neighbour country but still, my order was only shipped 10 days after ordering and paying, then it only took 3 days to arrive, I had to return the items and it took another while until I got impatient and asked if the stuff arrived, then I was told my package had already arrived over a week ago and it could take another week for my refund to be made, ... over one week passed and I contacted them again only for them to write they are sending the refund today.
I hardly got any notifications, not about shipping, I wasn't notified about the return or refund, the answeres from costumer service were very short and neutral.

Skin HCQ is my dream-everyday-bra. I'm so sad this didn't work out, but I'm going to learn how to sew bras now and I'm definitely gonna take this as inspo.
The style of this bra, the cut, the rounded shape, the way the fabric of the cup flows into the straps - it's beautifull and it feels like your boobs are beeing hugged by soft mesh. If it wasn't for the wire and a bit of lack in depth I woul've kept this and bought it in every color they have.
I have a hugh amount of empty space at the center/bottom next to the wire that I cannot fill out and it makes this bra impossible to comfortably wear.
I recently discovered that I have "splayed roots" and this is the main cause of my unability to find ABTF, it's always the wire!! Most wires are just too round/curved for me wich causes them to slide down and sit 2cm under my root, or I get empty spaces I can't fill. My natural bust root is not an U or bowl shape.

I strongly recommend this for ppl that fit the typical U shaped wires and are not too projected or shallow.

Yet another bra that would fit perfectly if only the cups were 1-2 sizes larger. Unfortunatly I ordered this in the biggest cup-size available. The wire width is narrow enough, the cups give a the nice and rounded/ more shallow then projected shape I'm looking for and the underbustband is quite tight. Would be absolutely perfect if the cups weren't too tight. I did gain even more weight recently but I'm keeping this in case I (hopefully) loose the extra kilos again. I'm open for suggestions if anyone knows a brand that offers a similar ... cut with larger sizes :/

Style-wise: Honestly, the outstanding designs that Mimi Holliday offers were what originally intrigued me, sadly they only offer a few bras that fall into the size range that is even remotely wearable for me. I've never seen a bra in this kind of pastel green shade and I love it. The design is really cute and fun and the fabric is really light and soft and the price is good.

(Might add better pictures tmr, it's already dark now)

This is the third Empreinte bra I tried. I wrote pretty negative reviews about Nikki and Anna (Both 65G) but I'm happy I gave Emreinte another chance because, believe it or not, I actually love this bra. I wish Emreinte would extand their size range a little bit, the size thing is really the biggest issue for me.

But first - superficially it's obviously beautifull. I don't know what deserves the title "french luxury lingerie" more then this. The color is amazing and fits me pretty well I think. Unfortunatly they didn't have the shorts or normal panty anymore so I got the thong (They had a sale ... so ugh I like to own matching sets!), I usually don't really wear thongs but was really surprised that this one is really soft and comfortable.
This bra is very well done and this time I do actually think that it is worth the price and from the reviews I've seen on here Cassiopée seems to fit a range of differend breat shapes.
The Cups are Seemless and I guess adapt well to your shape. I'm FoB and CF but with tall roots and these cups work super well for me.
They make a really good rounded shape, the Cups are really spacious and comfortable and the straps are soft on the skin but strong and not stretchy.
The gore doesn't tack perfectly, but almost, I do hope it's gonna tack as I'm loosing weight.

The biggest (only) problem here is the large band. I would usually choose 65/30 but the cups would definitely be to small. with the 65G the cups fit almost perfect but I almost immediatly had to use the tightest hook for it to not ride up in the back. I am not going to send this back, I am going to keep it because I like it and it's almost perfect but I'm tried to alter the band a few times already and the seam I made is pretty ugly and scratchy. If anyone knows a good band altering tutorial pleeeease feel free to share!

I'm definitely going to keep an eye on french lingerie in the future and try more.

32G/GG - 30GG/H - Projected - FOB+CF - Tall+Average Roots - Soft Tissue,
--------------

Ordered this one recently as I have been trying bras consistently for quite a while now, on my never ending hunt for the one unicorn bra that will be comfortable to wear for every day, I thought I might try a sportsbra for a change (And hoping a fitting sports bra would motivate me to go for runs again lol)


First of all, I love the design of this bra. I love the color combo. And I love the build in J-Hooks. I love the look the most when the straps are hooked to a ... Racerback.
If I wear the racerback bra to often it gets painfull tho as there's too much pressure on the nerves and trapezius muscle that sit right on the neck. Maybe the bands don't adjust long enough too, as you can see I can only wear the racerback when the bands are adjusted to max lenght.

I like that they offer a unwired version because wires are very often uncomfy for me. The Cups are padded and very spacious unlike a compressing sports bra.
It's overall pretty supportive and unlike the compressing sportsbra I've been wearing up until now my breasttissue doesn't try to find a way out, everything sits in the cup savely and doesn't slip under the band, quad or squeezes out on the sides.


The paint on the plastic J-hooks comes off super easy, the first time I closed the hooks a chunk of the orange color came off. Not a big issue but it's a thing I'd try to avoid if I was a bra maker.

I'm practically living in this sportsbra now until I find (or make) my unicorn bra.

The shape/cut of the Cups is a 10/10, it's perfect, at least when I use the J-Hooks, it's okay but a little too seperated without the racer-back.
This bra really made me realize how the racer-back option improves the fit and support of any bra for me, it even looks better to me. The style of this bra is a
clear "meh" to me, I don't love the dotty detail on the top of the cup, but I do love love love the deep blue colorway.
The real issue with this bra is the wire, yet again. the fabric creases at the wire and the wire slides down and then sits about 2cm under IMF.

I had high hopes for Nikki, but I'm sort of conflicted. I actually do really like the style of the fabric, the applications and I love how much of a shallowish round shape it gives, but then on the other hand, It's just too much. The straps for example are absolutely massive on both models I ordered (Nikki and Anna). They're so freakin wide and thick, I can only imagine how wired these bras would look unter a simple top in summer.
I also get that a lot of people are looking for wide straps, ... but for me personally, it just dosen't make me feel good. The moment I looked into the mirror while trying this it reminded me of how limited my options are because of my unusual size and how I can't be picky about such things even if they bother me. If it would have fit otherwise I would keep it but sadly the gore dosen't tack and the cups are overall to small (And probably too shallow). I thought to myself "give it a shot, wear it for a day", but as soon as I put my shirt back on and started moving normally I felt so uncomfortable.
I think the fact that the band runs large in this brand, combined with how badly the cups fit makes this a really uncomfortable "unstable" fit.

I'm ~ a 28GG-H/30G-GG, projected, pendulous, even and center full, I think tall roots not sure tho

The quality of this bra is rediculously average, considering it cost me over 50€. I still regret that I didn't send it back in time,
but I was just mesmerized by how cool it looks and the fact that the unpadded, deep plunge cut suits me so well.
It's the only wearable bra for me at the moment but it makes me feel horrible because the cup is slightly to tight and the fabric is so damn scratchy and stiff. *sigh*
Also, I have this bra since last month and handwashed ... it carefully a few times but there are already loose threads and the back of the band, where the bra closes is kinda crooked, it gets a little bit more out of shape with every time I wear it. I rarely see this, even in the cheapest bras. (See pictures.)

TL;DR: Not bad, quality dosen't justify price, good fit but cheap, scratchy material.

Little Update:
I don't know why I didn't write it in the original review but the wire gives me red marks almost immediatly after putting the bra on and it gets really uncomfortable the longer I wear it. I could be wrong but I read somewhere that Curvy Kate/Scantilly bras have nickel in them and I have a nickel allergy, so that makes sense.
I haven't worn this bra in months, surprise surprise.
