Didn't fit
Ahh the Dessous Longline! I'd coveted this thing for so damn long. I loved the fact that it was unlined and that, unlike my Freya halfcup longlines, this had "boning" to keep the band from bunching and folding. Also, I'm a sucker for the coral and grey combo. So when this bra went on sale, I jumped on the opportunity and ordered my best fitting size in their Dessous model.
The bra arrived looking very attractive in its packaging. I quickly put it on. The verdict? Well, let's just say you'll rarely hear me say this about any bra I add, but it looked pretty bad on me. So bad, in fact, that it was eye twitch inducing. The band was way too loose and it threw off everything else fit-wise. On regular Dessous bras I can get away with a too loose band and slightly not enough immediate projection at the bottom of the cup because of my boob shape. It's not ideal, but I can make do for a few hours of the day. However, with the Dessous Longline, it's not going to work. The shallowness issues really affects the already loose band and causes it and the wires to float away from my body. There's what I call a "triangle of floating" that is formed from the panel of fabric that extends from below the gore to the bottom of the band in front. The wires are definitely not coming near my IFM. It's incredibly annoying and uncomfortable.
For this bra, I would recommend you going for perfect sizing. Sister sizing and hoping for the best did not work out in my case.
