Fits

This was absolute bargain and it's totally underrated! I got it from ebay for about 7€ (last one) and managed to find 2 more for about 20€. The baby blue looks super cute and what appears to be white in the pictures is actually a very light cream or blush (hard to tell). It is almost invisible under a fitted white shirt. My only complaint is that the lace part on top tends to fold over so it looks like it is wrinkling even though the cups are perfectly filled, but you can probably fix this with a few stitches. The shape is very round but a bit taller and more projected then my Cleo Marcie (http://bra.pe/XYLq/).

The support is amazing. The whole design is probably overkill for smaller cup sizes. But I can imagine that it works very well for a pair of large, heavy boobs. Mine aren't very big but quite dense and heavy so it feels really nice to get this level of support. The gore is very high: It measures 7.5cm which is about as high as my Cleo Kayla (http://bra.pe/XYLt/). But considering the gap at the bottom of the band it is more like 10cm.
It tack very firmly and anchors the upper part of the cups to my sternum so there is no jiggling even when I run or jump. But it also pokes me a little when I try to slouch. The lower elastic of the band is also crossed over in front and attached to the wire channels which makes the center part more rigid.

The cups are almost completely closed on top. It actually feels more like a full cup bra with wide set straps. They are made of two layers with the outer, blue layer for decoration. The lower ¾ of the inner layer are made of a thick mesh that could probably stop bullets. The upper ¼ section is a little stretchy but still firm enough for me to do a handstand without having to adjust my boobs afterward. The wires are firm and quite tall at the sides. But they are narrow enough to follow my IMF without digging in. The band fits incredibly tight (more like a 27) but not in a pinchy or uncomfortable way. It kinda adds to the overall supportive feeling. I'm sure a 30F would be firm enough as well but on some super busy days I actually like having my bra as tight as possible. Quality is also great. I got my oldest one about 5 month ago and it still feels and looks like new.

    I like the esthetic of this bra!

    I like the looks of this bra. Maybe I should check it out. Only thing is tall bras don't usually work for me. Based on your measurements it could work though... doesn't seem too tall based on cup height. I'd definitely try it if I found it at that price, that's for sure!

    The only fault I found with this bra is that the outer fabric is really wrinkly. Some are worse than others (maybe manufacturing error) and I think it's especially true for soft tissue. I love the double layer for support I wish they hadn't discontinued it or at least improved the wrinkling with a new model. So much stretch lace around but not so many bras like this one.

  • letstalkaboutbras that's good to know, especially since I do have soft tissue. I noticed the wrinkling in the pictures posted actually. I guess it's sort of a moot point since I can't find one leftover online anyways.

    I think this bra is so pretty, and it looks great on you! I tried it, but it did not work with my tall roots. I was sad that I had to return it.

    Thank you all so much!

    @letstalkaboutbras Now I also see the wrinkling, dammit ;-).
    My breast are very firm and the volume is perfect so I guess it could be worse for someone with soft tissue or if the cups are slightly too large. But a bit of wrinkling is probably unavoidable if you have two layers of fabric that are just connected at the edges.

    @Wilderness1 It was a lucky find. I always stalk ebay for discontinued styles, especially http://stores.ebay.co.uk/lingerieoutletstore/ .
    Sometimes they they have 28 or 30 bands for under 10 Pounds (14 $).

On Apr 2018 It fit her! View measurements

I have to ask my boyfriend to fasten and unfasten the band due to the firm fit. It sometimes gets hard to breath after several hours but is not uncomfortable.
