This bralette is BEAUTIFUL. The pictures for the 26F red bralette with black lace is mine. I did not put the pictures up, so just to confirm, I did order 26E. Not sure now if the "proper size" was made, but it fits well so I'm not concerned. The red is the perfect shade, not too bright or too dark.

The fit: The band stretches to about 27". It's comfortable for me on the middle and loosest hooks, though I do wish it was a little tighter. The thing about the midline shape is that there is a thick elastic band at the very bottom, just below where the bottom of the cups are. So it is different from VS/Aerie bralettes where the elastic is the "cup" and should sit in your IMF. After a few hours of wearing it, I found myself adjusting once or twice to make sure that the elastic was not riding up into my IMF of flipping up.

The cups are definitely too wide for me, but it's barely noticeable since there's no underwire. I also found that I had ever so slightly too much inner fullness, but again barely noticeable. All in all, it's a very comfortable, beautiful, and well-made bralette. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something cute and comfortable to lounge around in.

• The "proper size" was made. I made it and made a 26E :-) No idea why the pictures are under a 26F! Since it came to you from PetiteCollegiate maybe she put them under there? Thank you so much for reviewing it, as I'm constantly trying to improve the scaling especially on the very small bands!!

  Anyways, I think measuring cup width and depth for these things is going to be very hard, as it seems like there are WILD variances among closely related sizes and I know how I'm making them and know there's not that much difference from bra to bra. It's hard to tell how to measure best with a wireless bra.

  Since I can't edit my original comment for whatever reason - I'm assuming Petite entered it under 26F and measured it and the bra you entered is under 26E and there's 2" worth of difference in the cup width number... and it's the same bra! So... yeah, people are definitely measuring the cup widths and depths differently.

  lcl0706 That was the biggest issue I had measuring mine. I tried measuring along the seam but i think I moved it around or accidentally stretched it a bit instead of laying flat.

  lcl0706 Thank you for all of your hard work measuring and making these bralettes! I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it is.

  I didn't even notice the measurements that PetiteCollegiate entered, wow that is quite a difference. I'll remeasure later to double check the measurements I entered earlier. It certainly felt wider than 4.8" which is a pretty average width in this size... But 1.5" is a lot LOL.

  Well because it's wireless it will definitely stretch as you close the band. So 4.8" laying
  flat will be narrower than what it feels like on your body. There's no rigid wires to hold the cup width ya know?

• Yeah I didnt add mine because I felt like getting accurate measurements would be too difficult.

  I think it will be. And I don't want people looking at very different measurements and using them as a guide to pick a size ya know? Order your usual UK size and trust me lol.
