Very pretty bra, but the wires distort if you stretch the band AT ALL so they end up on the sides of my ribcage, and this is in a band size too big for me so I can't even imagine if the band was properly tight. Underwires on my back, maybe. The effect is sort of minimizing or perhaps shallow friendly. I double checked and my Lulu Tout Coco Lace Balcony Bra (a-dd) (133514) does the same thing but I just don't notice it as much because that bra is two cup sizes smaller than this one, so the wires are placed well on me in that bra after stretching. I am beginning to question everything I was starting to figure out about cup/wire width.

The cup on this very nearly fits me except for some minor puckering just above my nipples. The bra was so inexpensive that I would probably keep it and alter it if the underwires weren't so flimsy. Unfortunately I am returning it.

This bra is not owned any more

  Thank you for posting this review! And I got to discover a new bra retailer (I am such a newbie to this). That outlet section makes it more encouraging to try out one's new size.

  It's too bad this one didn't work out...At first I thought maybe the wide shape of the underwires would be good for me, but upon closer reading I'm guessing the wires kept shifting shape? That's just awful and disappointing then. What a frustrating experience but at least it was returnable!

• I think what is happening both with this bra and my Lulu Tout Coco Lace Underwired Bra (dd-h) (133515) is the band is very firm/not stretchy, but the underwires are springy/weak, so most of the give in the bra comes from the front and not the sides or back. It makes the bra flatten your boobs which I don't need or want.

  I wouldn't have noticed this pre-Bratabase. When I stretched the band to measure it the cups went SPROING but the band barely stretched at all. It was weird.

  The fit was a lot better than my 30B bra in that more of my vertical acreage was covered and the bra didn't look like it was a tiny stripe across just my nipples. I'm on the right track and adding the bra's info on here makes it feel like not a total waste.
