Update:

DO NOT WASH THIS BRA IN THE MACHINE!! I usually throw all my bras in a laundry bag in the washer on cool water, and that was fine for all my bras, BUT NOT THIS ONE. This bra is very delicate, and will just completely lose all of its elasticity in the band.

Original post:

First off, this is an absolutely gorgeous bra. It's a lovely turquoise silk with blue-purple lace over it, creating this lovely peacock sheen. It's also a very comfortable bra--no part of it rubs or itches. It seems to be very well made, and there's no loose threads or bad stitching or puckering.

My torso measurement is 28" or so, and I knew this when I ordered this bra in a 30D. It was on sale, though, so it was the 30D or nothing. What I wasn't expecting, though, was how stretchy the band is. I could stretch this band all the way out to 32". So even though this bra is just a few weeks old, I'm already wearing it on the closest hook. Speaking of hooks--there's only one hook per column, but there are 4 columns, unlike the normal 3. There's enough room for 2 hooks per column, though, so I'm not sure why they didn't do that, and I wish they would have. I'd never worn a bra with only one hook per column, and it doesn't feel very secure at all.

The straps are just straight up silk, which feels amazing. On the down side, they don't tighten very far. I have them as tight as they will go, and I wish I could tighten them a good inch more. Even though I'm 4'11", I've only ever had this problem with one other bra before, the 65D - Huit » Lilies & Poppies (8254C4D). The straps are also set a bit wide, but I'm thinking that the wideness problem would be solved by wearing my proper size, 28DD (or so).

I would describe my breasts as shallow with a wide base, and the cups are perfect for this. There's not very much projection, and there's an open top so definitely no quad boob.

Overall, I love this bra. It's beautiful and comfortable. I am definitely keeping it, though I am going to try altering the straps both shorter and narrower.

This bra is not owned any more
