3. I ordered Ginger as a 3HC in 65P with straps moved in 3cm, gore reduced to 6.5cm, narrowed, and overlapping; 3x4 hooks, cookie pockets.
Appearance: I love love love the look of this bra! I love the delicate creamy lace and how it covers the entire bra over a pink-tan base. The olive bows are a nice unexpected complement. The lace slightly over hangs the cups in a soft scallop for a very feminine look. This cup also has the silky smooth cookie pockets.
Fit: this is my first 3HC and while on the contrary this doesn't quad like the other two, I can tell that the wires are ... too wide and the cup too tall near the straps. I wonder if this can be solved by moving in the straps which I learned that I will probably need 4cm in on 3HC. The gore is flat, band great on the first hooks, and the look melts my heart. I'm not sure if I will be able to pull off 3HC if I cannot figure how to reduce that extra fabric near the straps.

Panties: I bought the matching set in L szorty and will start ordering high rise XL for my 44"hips and 39-40" hip bone in figi and szorty. They are gorgeous though, there's a center panel and triangle on the back of the lace and the rest is the pink-tan stretch mesh which is partially see through.

This bra is very cute in person. It has the look of denim and the pattern is not rough but rather textured, still softer though. The measurements for the wires are of the actual wire length because I can slide the wires in the bra to give me .75" of space at the gore or wings I'd I so choose. I moved them to give me space at the gore, which still didn't tack. I just ordered a size up, have others experienced this in this style because it's not very padded/semi soft. The band is very stretchy. I measure a 31 and bought a 30 band, it ... feels fine but for those who like a very tight band, size down in larger cups H+. I'd expect cups under H to have a truer band. I still get a good amount of quad on both my larger and smaller boob. I hope the 30J will give the 11.5" laying perm. even though my 90° is 14" because im semi soft. If it doesn't fit, I'm going to get over my camera shyness and do a fit request. The wires are medium/narrow which is what I am although I wouldn't mind them narrower, but perhaps not until I fix this severe t.migration in my armpits and back considering I was in a 34DD 😳. The wires I have to make sure I pull up all the way because of my high set bust, I wonder if it'll stay that way, but I still had quads so I still had to size up. The interior is comfortable even though the seams, seem like they would be uncomfortable. The cup height was not bad on my short roots, that might change in the J, plus I have center fullness. The replacement will be here Wed, I will let you all know then, hopefully no fit issues.

Until then,

Your fellow bratabasian (*˘︶˘*)

I love this bra!! After a few trials and errors, I'm pretty confident that I will be able to order pretty much any set comfortably.

Appearance: this bra has a black base that is covered in a powdered navy lace with a coppery-pink floral pattern that is continued to the wings. The straps are black with embroidered edges and continue on the top edge of the wing to the hooks and eyes. To complete the look, small bows are located on eack strap and at the top of the gore. The inside is all black.

Alterations: I ordered this bra in 70N with overlapping wires and reduced cups. I had ... the gore reduced, straps moved in 3cm, and 3x4 hooks. I also had cookie pockets added.

Fit: The pockets add an extra level of comfort to the bra that anyone can appreciate, even though I hadn't needed them. Yes, the fit is that good lol. The extra cm I had the straps moved in really helped me feel more relief from the weight of my bust. The band was perfect, so for any bra with lace/mesh wings I will use 70, but anything else 65. The 3x4 hooks I can leave, but I keep them just in case of unusually tight band or longer wear. The reduced gore and cup are something I will never change due to my high set bust and love of cleavage. I find my ideal gore to be of 6.5-7cm.

Gina Szorty (L): These are gorg and are my favorite style!! They have the same powdered navy and coppery-pink pattern. The back is see through, but the front and crotch have a soft black lining. These are super comfortable and not scratchy. Since these don't have an elastic band on the leg holes they feel true to size and don't dig. So I will stick to L in szorty, L/XL (for elastic) in figi (brief), and M in stringi (thong) because my bum is not included. I have a 43in hip (includes bum) with a hip bone of 38in (no bum included).

1. I ordered Tropical Garden in 65P with reduced cups, straps moved in 3cm, gore reduced to 6cm, narrowed, and overlapping; 3x4 hooks, cookie pockets, and I requested all over mesh no black section.
Appearance: it is simply gorgeous the colors are rich without being overpowering and I love how everything else is black because it creates a balanced look. I did notice that the the cookie pockets are a silky smooth material instead of the soft cotton, but I don't mind because the cups inside and out are soft.
Fit: it fits almost perfectly, the band is perfect on the first set of hooks, the gore lays flat, and ... the cup height is perfect. My only note to self is that there is 3mm of quad near the gore, so I could go up another size, but I honestly don't mind I am very center full and love low gores so I expect it. My cycle is coming soon so we'll see if it goes down, but the cup fits perfectly until it gets to my fullest point. I love this bra and plan to wear it often.

I also got the matching panties in the szorty-stringi style, which is supposed to be like the picture. They are kind of similar, but they fit nicely against my upside down 💙 shaped bum instead of loosely. I have gained 2" to my hips so I will start ordering a XL in figi and szorty for my 44" hips (39-40" hip bone) and I will also ask for high waisted bottoms.

Ok you guys this is the first of my bras to arrive it's the Playful Promises Jaquelina Mustard Contrast Plunge bra. It is gorgeous, but I already knew that it would not fit me because I had to get a sister size UK 36H. Had it been in stock i likely would have gone for the HH or maybe a J.
The good:
The bra is gorgeous! The material looks very luxurious, the lace is thick and embroidered while the yellow satin base is smooth and has a low sheen. The straps are lined in smooth black satin and the little bows and gold hardware are ... cute little accents. I like that the band has a bone on each side to promote smoothing and even though the band is too big it is still firm enough to offer a bit of support.

The not so good:
I knew that this would not be a perfect fit but I am keeping it. The gore is too high for me and does not tack, but even if it did this is about 1-2cups too small. It is not noticable unless the gore is pressed flat and it is not too wide thankfully. I need a lower gore because of center full close set tissue. The straps are only half adjustable which could be a big issue for some. The strap placement wasn't extremely wide but it would have been nice if they were moved in an inch.

I bought the matching “brazillian” more like a bikini style and the crotchless thong. I have just taken new measurements so I will keep this in mind in the future.

I bought a UK 12 in the brazilian and although I love the soft stretchable mesh the front i feel is built for a fupa...i wouldn't mind going up to a UK14 but I'd been too afraid that the front would be too baggy. Which is weird, it fit everywhere else on my 46.5" hip and i also did not like that they are very low rise. Just a personal preference because I feel like that cut highlights my lil bottom belly

The crotchless thong I got in a UK 10, wouldn't mind going up a size it was still comfortable, but the same baggy front area was present. It's odd but they are both cute. Also I felt like the crotchless part is such a slim opening not even the size just the cut. My hip bone is 40.5"

Mustard Contrast Plunge colorway

The bra was pretty and had great color. The wires were narrow but they could have been an .5-1 inch narrower, but still good fit. The cups fit up until the mesh for my larger boob. The mesh is not stretchy so if I size down it might create spillage what do you all think? I ordered a 32H and I kept having to pull the band down so I'm guessing 30 band, but what cups? 30HH would be the normal sister size, but the H was gapping at the top so 30H? I suppose I might just move on because the gore was too high, digging and sitting on my center tissue.

2. I ordered Queen of Hearts in 65P with reduced cups, straps moved in 3cm, gore reduced to 6cm, narrowed, and overlapping; 3x4 hooks, and cookie pockets.
Appearance: I really like the look of this bra. It's simple enough to wear every day, but it could also be used as a special occasion bra. This bra also has the same silky smooth material instead of the cotton, but the inside and the outside of the cup are soft. The contrast btwn the gore and the wings is a nice touch and I would love the bows if they were centred correctly. If you're like me you have just a ... touch of OCD this will drive you insane and takes away from the look of the bra. Other than that I do love the look of this bra.
Fit: same issue of almost a perfect fit. The band is great on the first set of hooks, gore is flat, and the cup height is perfect. The only issue is slight quads near the gore about 4mm worth. Out of the 3 this quads the most it isn't a big deal for me I can go up a size but the low gore with my center fullness will mostly always do this. If I go up a size there will be more gapping at the straps so I can choose to be bothered with this or keep the perfectly fitting cups.

Panties: I got the matching set in a L figi like the picture I will start ordering XL for my 44" hips because I gained 2" as well as asking for higher waisted bottoms. They are beautiful though.

Yes! The bra came early and I'm so excited that it fits, I pushed the wires to give me .75" at the gore it still doesn't tack, but I have close set boobs so I expected that. When I did push it in I only had at most 4mm of overflow so still good besides it's not there when not tacked. Because this is CK the wires are wider than I need but not too much and I do have 1 finger of space if I pull it all the way up to my IMF and 1.5 fingers when my boobs push them down. the cups are also ... a touch too tall. Despite all of this it is the best fit I have gotten to date, so I'm a little teary eyed lol. I can actually keep this bra because:
*I'm not quadding out of it unbelievably
*the wires aren't so firm that I have to reverse scoop or risk marks due to my center fullness
*the straps aren't so tight my arms lose circulation
* and best of all... the cups aren't so tall that the bra is stupidly too big and too small
(〒︿〒)
I am happy but I still haven't found the perfect one yet.

Happily still looking,

Your fellow bratabasian

This bra is very lightly padded and is a softer cup. The bra is a very pretty bright neon orange. The lace detailing is beautiful. The wires are a bit wide for me and it almost fits. The wires are taller but I have migrated tissue in my armpits so I don't mind and the wires are covered with soft fleece. The band feels pretty true but I could go down in the band since I am a 31, so if you're in between and like your band really tight side down. For me the band was comfortable enough for me I am still looking for my right size so I will 're order this in a bigger cup to compare.

Description: This bra is very pretty. It has beautiful vivid red eyelash lace that covers a red cup base. The band is a rich black stretch mesh. The cup has black piping along the top of the cup with matching black straps. Each strap features a small black velvet bow along with the gore, which also has a small C charm on it. The band is a black stretch mesh and I received a 3x4 hook without request. The inside of the cups are bright red with black piping along the wire channels.

Quality: The lace is not scratchy or rough and moves very little around the cup. The ... eyelash of the lace is securely sewed down so that it will not flip up or separate from the cup. The straps feature a smooth black underside, but it is not "plush" and has a decorative top side. The internal cups have very light padding that is soft, but not overly so. The wires are not particularly rigid, but this is perfect for me. One thing though, I have a slight crease on my right cup at the top due to folding, but I can smooth it out later.

Alterations: I asked for Rita to be made with the standard plunge style. I reduced the cups, reduced the gore to 6.5cm, and moved the straps in 2cm.

Fit: I decided to order this bra in a 70M. My overbust went up an inch from 42"(106,68cm) to 43" (109,22cm) and my snug underbust is 30.5" (77,47cm). This would place me at a 80HH or 75K/L by their charts. Using the lower measurement would be closer, but I used the stretched band lengths through bratabase and cup depths to come up with my size using the measurements from a CK 30J that was my best fit at the time. Using just my overbust measurement with my preferred stretch band of 70 I get a 70M/N. I went for the smaller one, using lying bust perimeter as depth.

This was mostly a good choice I am slightly quadding, but right now I am finishing up my cycle so we will see if this goes down some. Also because of the band across the top of the cups might be causing this, I am even/fot so I think 70M is a good base size. Either way, I like to fit my smaller boob since it is only .5" smaller. I just don't tighten up the straps on my bigger boob as much so they look even. The cup height is perfect for my high set boobs, no extra cup height even when I bend over!! The gore is heaven 😤, with my center fullness I don't like tall gores and I like my clevage, so this works. I have cleavage but my boobs are just barely touching and it tacks!! The band is perfect in width, armpit height, and comfort. It has stretch so although it's fine on the 1st set of hooks, I could go to the second. The underwires are narrow in the classic U shape, I probably could go a touch narrower, maybe later on after t.migration. but the wires do sit in my IMF, so I'm giddy lol.

Cons: straps could provide cushion (my melons are heavy lol), wires could be a touch narrower, and I'm not happy about the crease I will have to fix because it removes some of the depth on my smaller boob.

Panties: I ordered the thong to be made as szorty, but it looks to be a brief. I don't mind this as they are super cute. They are made with black, see-through, strech mesh and they have a middle panel of the same red lace as the bra. They feature a scalloped black elastic trim at the waist and leg openings and two black velvet bows where the lace panel meets the black mesh.

I have a 38" hip bone and a 43" fullest hip (it's the bum lol). I ordered a large and it fits perfectly. The elastic around the leg openings slightly dug, but I just used my hand and pulled them out starting from undermy bum to the front to stretch them a bit. Now they really fit perfectly. Size L will be my base size in stretch mesh or other like fabrics and I will likely size up in stiff fabrics so they don't cut into my bum and thighs. I think I will also use large for thongs instead of sizing down because my problem would be the legs holes (I have full thighs) being smaller in a M.
