I ran into the Bonnie on the Bras I Hate & Love blog and decided to order it for two reasons - according to the blog author, it creates a very rounded shape (and I take her word on many things), and then, also, it's pink and I've been looking to add a pink bra to my stash.

I altered the bra slightly - the center gore is stitched together, so it is barely 0.5 cm wide. After this alteration, which turned the cups of the bra a little, it fits very well. Maybe it's because of this change, but I think the cups are quite large for a 28HH - usually I'm between a HH and a J, but with the Bonnie, the fit is spot on... (it even gapes a little on "small" day). It could be the gore, though.

The shape is very round and stays that way for the entire day!

The fabric is somewhat stiff and the wires are wide, but not uncomfortably so. The straps are pretty average as straps go.

The band, however, is reeeeeally stretchy. I am a standard 28, I think, maybe even on the 28/30 side, but I could fasten this band on the third row immediately and it actually slides up when worn for a longer period of time https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> So if you can, I'd definitely recommend sizing down on the band. It surprises me to see that several reviews mention the band being too tight (!) - perhaps it is a question of different batches or colorways? I have the bright pink one.

This bra is not owned any more
