Didn't fit

So I was curious to try my very first 36L from Bravissimo. Their bras are known to run small and I was curious just how small. I think that on the 36L the cup are about a generous 36K in Elomi / Panache brands that I could compare it too.

I usually wear 34L in Alana and it works. The only issue I have is that the gore does not tack. As we know, the gore should tack on a well fitting bra, so I wondered if the 36L would solve that issue.

It didn't.

So I had issues with the fit, because the bra has been well loved by the previous owner. The band and wires were very much stretched out. Wires were much too wide, the straps too separated, the band felt loose.
It was a bit big in the cups as I had some gaping.
I think I will stick to my usual size of 34L despite the gore not tacking as 36L didn't solve that issue.

This bra is not owned any more

  • Do you think it didn't tack because it's too closed on top? Or maybe because the wires are so wide there's not enough material up front where your boobs are?
