Didn't fit

I've owned this bra for a while and I'm refining my review!

This is the prettiest bra I've owned in a long time (which might be more a comment on me) but my husband LOVES the look of the black lace. And of course, that makes me feel pretty!

This bra gives a lovely round shape and I feel very lifted and supported. The stretch lace means that my bigger side isnt quadding and my smaller side isnt gapping, which is hard to find - I have a very big size difference.

However, it is really too shallow for me at the bottom. I need more immediate projection than this bra has. The result is that the bra is pushed down lower on my ribcage, causing the wires to really hurt me. I keep bending the wires, and each time I wear it I seem to be able to tolerate it a little longer. So I might not want to wear this to work, but its fine for shorter outings.

    Too bad it doesn't fit, because it otherwise looks great on you. And it's a very pretty bra. It looks good under your top, too. I *love* that top!

    Thanks - i swear i got that top at walmart ages ago? Idk, maybe it was kohls. But I kept the bra - its getting more comfortable each time I wear it - i dont put on my real bras often, tho - i really dont leave the house much, and there's no way I'm strapping hardware on my chest to sit around and play world of warcraft and cook dinner and homeschool the kid

    If it feels like strapping hardware onto your chest, then I don't blame you for not wearing your real bras often. I'm glad you kept this bra, though. Feeling pretty because someone special to you LOVES the look on you, is priceless.

    The other day when I was wearing my floris, I made my husband feel under the wire - he was surprised how hard and thick it is. To support a j cup up high on a 32 ribcage takes some serious force. and i've always been pretty sensitive. Its better now - in high school I couldnt stand a bra with a seam over the nipple. It was too irritating. But that doesnt bother me any more

    but in high school I couldnt find any 32s, so I wore 34s which were not so tight.

    Yea, that floris looks like a pretty serious bit of engineering. I think very few guys understand how much mass and force are involved, and the consequent materials requirements. And then to make it attractive at the same time!

    I am by no means petite, but I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I were a 40J.

    So, 6 months later here, I can wear this bra a full day? Once I finally bought 2 new floris, NOW this baby breaks in? LOL Idk, maybe its because it fits different when I'm on my cycle? I seem to have random good/bad days for some bras.

    but I'm glad I kept it, and I COULD imagine buying it in beige some day if I really need a beige bra
