I received this bra as part of the Grab Bag Special from BOB. I have tried this bra in the remote past in a smaller cup & a larger band that didn't work. I never tried to make it work.

I have soft breast tissue, fuller on top, and, I believe, more center-full breasts. This bra has stretch lace cups but does cut into my larger side resulting in a quad-boob effect. The quad-boob is improved with the use of a bra extender. The band is snug/tight & feels better with the use of an extender.

I'm happy to find a bra that fits my smaller side so well! And, it's remarkably comfortable. No poking, pinching, or irritation. It's supportive and provides a rounded shape under clothes. I've always liked the colorways of this bra. The lace will show through on thin, light fabrics, but is fine under the cotton/spandex tank top I'm wearing.

I've been wearing it under a tank top while knitting & intermittently manually stretching the top cup on my larger side. I have no idea if this will help with the quad-boob effect or not, but it's making me feel better. 😂 I’m making Knitted Knockers & considering stuffing the larger cup with 2 knockers after I wash the bra & see if that will help stretch the cup a bit.

If anyone has other ideas, I'd love to have them.

Rosehip colorway

  Hey, I think you and I are shaped similarly and size. My #1 best overall fit has been Gossard Glossies the lace cup. At the time I was a 28F but am now a 28FF - G cup, depending on fit. I have very soft tissue, so I KNOW your struggles. Have you tried Gossard?

  @AllexM, thank you!

  I’ve tried Gossard Superboost Lace in the wrong size & another Gossard style (not the Glossies) - again, in the wrong size. I was turned off by having to pay a return shipping fee for an *exchange* that I didn't bother trying to fix.

  I have recently admired the Glossies. Perhaps I should give Gossard another shot. I'll just have to make sure to check exchange/return policies.

  Do you find it fits TTS? Thanks, again.

  I'm assuming you mean True to Size (TTS?) If so, I would say yes. I was a 28F and it fit as such. I love the fit for 2 reasons 1. The band wasn't a tight 28, but fit perfectly snug without digging in at all and 2. The cups had zero lines. One thing I hate about traditional bras is tjey have a vertical seam going down the breast tissue and it is so uncomfortable. The Gossard Glossies (plunge) perfectly housed my tissue, gave me a nice rounded shape, and is seriously so comfortable to wear. My only warning is be very gentle with washing it. The material is really thin and mine is tearing because, like a idiot, I threw it in the wash without a lingerie bag. Not recommended.

  Oh! Another one I surprisingly liked was the panache ana plunge...but size up in the cup (i sized up one or two cups). The band is VERY tight on the 28 (28G in that style is what I wear)

  Have you done the bra calculator thing to be sure of your measurements?

• Yes, I've done the ABTFs calculator. I have the Panache Ana in 28F (too small in the cups, but the band is fine. I barely tried it on) & 30E - don't ask me why I ordered that size & kept it 😂. I'm guessing 28FF or 28G would work better.

  My favorite bra is the Comexim 3hc 60HH or 28G from BOB, then the Cleo Blossom 28FF - but I have it 28G, too. Panache Jasmine 28FF isn't bad either.

  I tried gifting 3-4 of my 28F bras away recently but the person decided they weren't sure of their size yet. I have *SO* many bras - many, newish/new with tags hanging in my closet. I need to sell or gift them, then I can consider Ana in 28FF/G 😉

• Thank you AlexM - I'll take a look at the Gossard Glossies. I've heard that it's fragile. I always handwash, but sometimes I get a little carried away with swooping & scooping - I almost put a hole through the lace of my Jasmine the other day!

  I have to laugh cuz I did the exact same thing with Panache Ana before figuring out 28G. The 28F does mostly fit, but I had some spillage in the front which is why I went to 28G. I have a literal box of bras that don't fit - all just tried on and was too expensive to return. All ranging from 30E to 28F. Probably 30 or more bras. I know exactly how you feel!!
