Didn't fit

Look:
I love it. It's a beautiful bra without being too girly or embellished. I personally prefer richer/more saturated colors over pastels, so this is right up my alley. The seams on this bra are very noticable under a shirt, but this is may be due to the cup being too small causing the seams to be pushed out right at my apex and thus positioned in a very prominent area.


Fit:
I am waiting on a larger size to arrive (just shipped yesterday) , so I am not sure on the final fit for this bra. There is also an issue with the quality (mentioned later) which prevents me from being to sure on the fit of the cups. It is maybe a cup or 2 too small on my larger breast, but I'm new to all of this so I am not sure. The band is is significantly firmer than the basic in beige, which might be due to the black dye(?). I measure 24.5 snug and this is decent or bordering on too big. It feels nice and light. I love the stretch in the band and straps; it makes it feel like you're wearing the bra and not vice versa.

Quality:
I wonder if the bravantgarde is just somewhat poor in quality because like gogobee I had some issues. If I measure along the top of the cup from the strap to the gore, there is a difference of about 1/2 an inch between the two cups (big difference for me!). I noticed this because the larger cup is on my smaller breast/side causing it to gape more than it should - or maybe it shouldn't gape at all. It was the wrong size and I had already ordered a larger size anyways, so I am contemplating whether I should notify them/complain.


Just some side notes:
The material almost sounded like it made a rustling sound. I don't think you would hear it when you move and definitely not underclothing, but I jus thought that was interesting.

I can have super sensitive skin to the point where bob-length hair makes my neck red and itchy. The inside material does not seem like it would irritate my skin nor does it appear as if there are any pointy or unfinished areas that could cause harm.

Thanks for reading! I hope my reviews aren't averaging on too long. 😘

    I'm concerned about quality control on their bras, too. I ordered a couple bras with customizations that didn't seem to happen.
