I absolutely LOVE this bra. I had seen it on Levana but they were out of any sizes that could have possibly fit me. When I saw that Sheena had it for sale, I was so excited and I had to try it. I had just ordered another SF a few days before and was feeling pretty sure that 65H was going to be my size. Well the first SF arrived a couple of days before this one so I already knew this one was not going to work. I was actually a little surprised at the fit. The Iris would be perfect for me if the wires weren’t so tall. I fill it out. The band is comfy although I felt like I could move it in from the loosest set of hooks. The gore is a little wide but I could have dealt with it!! BUT the wire poking into my armpit...I can’t do. I wish I could just cut the wire so it doesn’t go up so far lol. I want to wear this bra! 😞

So I guess I’m going to try a 65GG next per Judy’s advice (from Levana). She didn’t have a lot in stock in my size but did her recommendation on what she had. I feel like a crazy lady! Searching and searching and trying bra after bra and yet still I’m wearing my lounge bras with the bands so big and the cups too small.

Any suggestions or advice?

This bra is not owned any more

  I don’t have any suggestions without seeing a 65GG for comparison, but I love the deep purple colour of this bra!

  Besides the wire digging into your armpit, the fit looks very good :)

  Aww, too bad about the wires. :( It looks good on you though! Hope the 65GG is better!

  That is SO pretty. Hopefully the 65GG is better for you, but I will say that I have two SFs and they both fit a little bit different. I think I may just be de-sensitized to high wires given that I'm 5'1 with a short torso and all wires are high on me, but I do feel like the wires on my 65H - Ewa Michalak » Sf Moonlight Lace are shorter than the wires on my 65H - Ewa Michalak » Sf Zenith (1410) . Maybe the Iris is one of the higher-wired SFs?

  Rozelyna I just love this color, it’s even more gorgeous in person.

  Sheena Thank you! I wish I could put a shorter wire in it lol

  bustyand I also have a short torso and I’m 5’3 🥴. I had my eye on the moonlight lace! Maybe it is one with higher wires. I have the SF Gladzioch (black) and the wires bother me on that one too, they are almost identical in length. Have you found any bras with wires that don’t bother you? Oh the joys of having a short torso lol

  damaries Wires usually don't bother me, actually (hence my comment on being de-sensitized, lol). I'd say the feeling I have with basically all of my bras is more like 'if I could choose I'd make these wires shorter, but I'm not actively being bothered by it.' I will say though that the Panache Olivia's wires were high enough to actively hurt me my first few wears, though--somehow, it's stopped doing that.

  Rozelyna oh my gosh I just realized what I said lol 😅 you did say that. My darn adhd brain just skips over things lol. Well I sure wish I could get there and not be bothered by high wires 😕

  I tried wearing it again and I really dislike that feeling. Maybe I’ll become used to it

  Have you considered removing the wires, shortening them, reinserting them into the wire channel, and sewing a stitch so they can't migrate back up under your arms? I think I used wire cutters to shorten wires in a half-cup style. I sanded the ends with a Dremel tool, but you could use a manual file.

  learningaboutbras Omg I would do this! I was wishing I could just cut the wire but I really didn’t think it was possible to do that without ruining my bra.
