Didn't fit

A bralette that fits a 32G UK! Sort of!

I needed a bralette that would be partially visible under a certain shirt. This was the perfect look, but to get enough cup coverage, I had to sister-size up to a 38 band and wear it on the tightest hooks. (The 36 was wearable but showed a little more skin than I wanted. I think the cup-to-band ratio is close to a DDD/E.) I also have to engage the J-hook to feel entirely secure, but it would probably be fine without it.

So, yes, this is 2-3 sister sizes off and about a cup size smaller than I'd like...but it's also a bralette that is pretty and supportive and comfortable in my range! I'm calling it a win.

EDIT: After wearing this a few times, I definitely get quadboob as the day progresses, and if I don't wear the J-hook, it's spill city. I still like it, but I hesitate to recommend it to anyone above a 32F UK, and a 34DD/E would probably be safer. However, if you're an FF/G and feeling lucky, give it a whirl.

  • I tried the 32. Should have done what you did. Glad it works for you :-) :-)

    Luckily, I was in Nordstrom, so I could try on whatever I needed. I forget which sizes I actually tried on, but yeah, that brick and mortar advantage!
