This bra has been in my radar for quite some time. Yesterday, I was able to go to Forever Yours Lingerie in Langley, BC as I was visiting friends and spent several hours trying on lots of bras. This is the one that came home with me, but there were 4 altogether that were my top contenders. I will eventually get the bras I tried added, with pictures and reviews, though I didn’t measure any of them. It’s kind of awkward to do in store.

Anyway, this one really got my attention after seeing it reviewed on the Big Cup Little Cup blog. It’s a basic black lace bra with beige mesh underneath, so it looks sheer but it is not. That said, the stretch lace on top is not lined like the regular BMs. This bra is a hybrid of the full lace and half lace BM. It’s a full lace BM, but it’s got the thicker stretch lace upper that the half lace BMs have. This one also has added loops to attach the extra/decorative straps to. I found them far easier to use with this bra than the PL Cappuccinowy I had, however I’m still not sure which orientation is correct. As they cut into my soft tissue, I am not fussed over them, to be perfectly honest. The reason why I chose this bra is that I really want a good everyday black workhorse bra. I’ve got a few, none of which are perfect, for a variety of reasons, however, this one allowed me to list one of the less ideal ones.

Now onto fit. I actually tried this in two sizes, and it wasn’t until I was trying on everything I had narrowed down with the matching bottoms that I asked to see if a smaller size was going to fit better, because I was initially trying the 70F, and my small side had a bit of loose fabric, unlike the Wersal and Malachit 70Fs (and the Zmierzch SF) so I tried the 70E. I had remembered that some people find that this bra fits a little bit bigger than the others. This one is *almost* to small. It’s like borderline. I need a size in between. It’s definitely a little lower cut for a BM and I do have a little puffing on my big side. But between the 70F fitting ok on big boob and wrinkling from excess fabric and the 70E slightly puffing, we both agreed that this was the better fit, and that as the lace relaxes with wear and washing, I might settle into the cups a little bit more. It’s also a slightly narrower cup and the straps fit slightly closer together and don’t ride the pits as much. The size equivalent of the other Ewas I tried were definitely too small. This one is only a weensy bit, and I got matching bottoms. I’m pretty pleased with my purchase. It really was a hard call with the others.

  I think this looks really good on you. It may be a just a touch small on your larger side, but your smaller side is a great fit. I prefer to fit to my smaller side (I know, you're supposed to fit to the larger size). I hate gaping... Nice find, and can't wait to see what else you tried there!

  Yes, I completely agree. I think that it’s entirely dependent on how the larger side or smaller side fits and the construction of the bra that dictates if I can tolerate the gapping or the puffing. That’s why I went with this one instead. But the 65F in Ice Blue BM and Fruit SF were definitely too small. I definitely needed a size up in both.

  Gorgeous!

• Thanks everyone! I was nervous with the size down, but in this case, it’s preferable to be a little small on my big side than too big on my small side.

  Really beautiful! And I enjoyed seeing what else you tried on as well 😊

• I still have more to add. Some of the styles need adding still.

• I’ve added a few more pictures, including one with the straps.

• I’m having a few doubts that I’m in the right size after wearing it a few times now. I’m definitely pushing it on my big boob side. I spill out on my bigger side when I’m leaning over, and my center spilling is noticeable. I knew going into this size that it’s a little bit too small, but in retrospect, I think I might need the 70F. Especially as it will be more forgiving with high tide.
