Vogue Purple NOT longline in 60P

This review was written in September 2017 when bra first received & may not be completely accurate at this time. (Yes, I am too lazy to update it, as I never wear this bra and so I really don’t know how it fits any more….)

Vogue Purple is normally a beautiful purple stretch lacy long line bra with black foam lined demi/shelf undercups. It has the classic halter tank look from the front though it does have the standard two straps in the back. There are no removable pads in this bra. I ordered it this time with a regular band (not longline) in 60P.

The band measures 21.4” with a max of 30” stretched. I ordered mine with an extra set of eyes, so it has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eyes. This doesn’t add length to the band, but does allow for a tighter set prolonging the life of the band.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

This stretch doesn’t factor in the purple lace overlay halter area which is very stretchy, only the black undercups. The black under cups measure 6.5” tall which is 1” below my nips but the purple lace does cover them nicely (at a height of 10” at the center) and I don’t feel exposed or unsupported at all.

As for the specifics of the purple lace halter, it measures 16.5” tall unstretched to 23” tall at full stretch, from the center bottom of the cup to the top of the purple where it attaches to the straps. If measured from the armpit side of the wire, it is 10.5” unstretched and 16.5” full stretch from the top of the wire to the strap connection.

As for the fit: The band feels comfortable loose on the tightest set of eyes, which was a bit disappointing. It doesn’t feel unsupportive per se, but I was hoping for a comfortable to snug fit on the loosest setting instead of the tightest one.

The cups fit full and tack very nicely, mostly due to the low center gore. The purple lace halter area is really too tall for my high set roots, making the purple part end over my shoulder & 2” down my back. This also greatly shortens the usefulness of the straps, which barely shorten enough for me. As stated above, my nipples sit 1” above the top of the black under cups, but are nicely covered by the purple lace. If I order again, I will definitely be asking for the purple lace to end 3” shorter so that the purple ends in the front just before hitting my shoulder. This should help with the strap issue, as well as making the purple lace a bit more supportive. I’d consider this a great all day lounge bra due to the loose yet comfortable fit. It really feels like I’m braless while wearing it. Seriously feels like I’m just in a tank top instead of a bra.

Final item to be noted: the thread color used on this one was black, while on the Long line version I got it was a very light lavender color. The black thread stands out more, and I feel it’s not as ascetically pleasing. It doesn’t look bad, and if I didn’t already have the Long Line to compare it to, I may not have noticed it at all, but in comparison, I like the lighter stitching better by far.

This bra is not owned any more
