This bra is so strange on me, yet I kind of love it. It doesn't fit at all, but it's comfy and cute, and I'm keeping it!

I bought it on a swap page in a lot, I paid less than $5 for it. I love the colors - mine is purple with teal trim, and those are 2 of my favorite colors!

Since it's secondhand, I probably won't enter measurements for this one - it is beyond stretched out. Normally I wear a 34 band, and occasionally a 32 band in some of the stretchier ones, but this is a 32 that I can easily fasten on the tightest hooks and it's STILL a little loose. So it's a 32 that fits like a big 36? Something in that neighborhood.

The cups give the strangest effect. My husband loves this bra, ha! It makes my boobs very wide and flat. If it weren't for the va-va-voom appearance of the bra itself and the "cakes on a plate" cleavage, it would definitely be a minimizer. Looking down at my cleavage is just this strange "where did everything go?" feeling. I did try it on with a shirt, just to see, and the lace detail at the top of the cup is actually less noticeable than you'd expect. I could possibly get away with wearing this as a regular bra with the right shirt. One little detail that I never saw in the photos or read in any reviews was the gore - I've never seen one like this. The gore actually comes up higher than the cups; the gore comes up into my cleavage and then drops about 1/4" to where the cup starts. I'll try to get a picture. It's kind of neat, doesn't bother me at all.

As for fit issues, it's definitely too shallow. I have wrinkling all the way along the wire. And the wires are too wide. And it's a big stretched out mess. BUT SO COMFORTABLE. The cups are shockingly just right; I don't know if this is some feat of engineering or what, but the edges of the cups don't gap or quad, they're just right.

This bra is all "Lisa Frank burlesque show" to observers but feels like loungewear. I feel like it appears to be a better fit than it actually is, unless you know what to look for.
