so, yet again, i ordered a Tempt Me in a size unlikely to fit, because i just really held out hope that some magic would occur and it would fit one day. I love the styling of this bra sooo much! at this point though, I've tried pretty much every combination of band and cup sizes (except a 32f which miiight work? maybe? sob!), and i have to wave the white flag. this bra is not for me.

style wise this is beautiful, and i have to say the raspberry is actually prettier to me than the original one i wanted, coral. its a sort of deep magenta color, hard to capture on pictures because of the sheen of the fabric. the other details of the tempt me remain- gore buttons, swirly lace, mesh band. in short, perfect!

fit wise, this is just all wrong. the band is of course too big, like i expected, i would say definitely size down in this band. the straps are right in my arm pits, blegh. The cups are a strange thing-the under wire seems placed correctly, but the cup almost reaches my collar bones! I get gaping on both sides, especially towards the top, and more so on my small side. it looks more like a fuller coverage bra to me in this size, but when i go down a cup (i have a 34E) it ends up being too small and cuts into my breast tissue at my underarms where they don't come over enough.

The cup also creases severely in the bottom, probably from the shallowness that many people note with the cup. i always assumed i had full on bottom and shallow breasts, but maybe i'm wrong there? i don't have much upper fullness and id consider myself with wide set breasts, which may be why im getting zero cleavage even in the sizes where the cup is too small- my breasts just slide back apart after i scoop myself in and it looks pretty awkward.

i don't know who to recommend this to, since i cant find a good fit for myself. if you can try it on and it works, i envy you! its definitely a very pretty and well constructed bra, just not for my shape. back it goes to bare necessities, unless i can sell it on braswap!

This bra is not owned any more
