Yeah, this bra is just crap. I think my measurements underestimate the cup depth because I was doing the over-the-knee technique and seemingly ALL of the depth (if you even wanna call it that) is at the sides of the bra. My breasts are very center-full and certainly more close-set than wide, so it might work better for someone with wider breasts? The wires are pretty soft and flexible, and personally I think that + the extra fabric on the sides is responsible for the way the wires are wrapping nearly around to my back.

Oh, and the comfort cushion things? Nice idea, but pointless in execution. Possibly because the wires are so far back, the cushions just ended up sort of creasing and then flipping up and outwards away from my body. If they were sewed flat that might help!

  I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!

  Hoo boy. Well, it's still real depth--it's just totally in the wrong place for you! A bit like having a shoe with room for a 6th, 7th and 8th toe ;-) Depending on your breast shape and bust weight this particular bra might work in a size about 2 cup volumes down and 1 band size up--but only if it's not too short/closed and shallow for your center volume. Otherwise you'll overflow in the smaller cup even though you're only using about 70% of the volume in the 34J cup volume.

  These wires are made of pudding! I thought Elomi Caitlyn wires were bad but this is worse. I wanted to ask you, do you stretch the band just very little when you do the stretched band measurement? Because I find that band really small for a 34 band? I think you could size up to a 36 band and a smaller cup and maybe get a better fit but I could be wrong…

• wendybien You're absolutely right, it is real depth. In my head I was struggling imagine how anyone could have breast tissue all the way over there; but now I'm imagining someone with a much wider frame or broader shoulders and yeah, it could work for someone built like that. I don't think the bra would work for me in a smaller cup/larger band. You can see how it is threatening to cut in at the center already.

  alisa I suppose I am conservative with stretched band measurements, especially on bras I know I am going to return. I didn't find the band to be particularly tight. I usually go for a 34 band in CK because they tend to stretch out quickly imo, I'm in between 34 and 36 to begin with, and I like a tighter band so I can loosen straps and avoid neck/shoulder pain.

• triumphof if you are uncertain about band fit, you could just try this one with an extender (or two!) and then at least that would enable you to assess exactly what the deal is with the cup shape and depth. I agree that in these photos the cup edge is cutting in at the top but it also has that characteristic look of "cup too big pulled halfway round body by too-tight band" which typically will cause that edge to cut in anyway. The excess cup height and width is also causing the whole cup to slump down on you which falsifies the fit at the cup edge even more.

• My bra also had a band like that. If you stretched it at all the wires bent back. I’m thinking of trying the bra in a 44G! 2 band sizes up from my last bra, 4 cup sizes down. O.O

• triumphof Thanks for the clarifying about your band measurements. Yes it makes sense not to stretch the bands on bras you want to return too much. I also don't stretch them to the maximum, but I try to do as much as I can without having the band stretch out.
