A very pretty bra from Affinitas, unfortunately not quite in my size. I bought this in a 30C, and while the cups fit me beautifully and the bra itself is quite comfortable, I'm just not a 30 underbust. I wore it straight out of the box on the tightest setting, and it still has space in the band - to be fair, this seems like a somewhat tighter 30 band than my other bras, as it has only about 2 inches of extra stretch to it.
The bra has lace side panels that actually seem very sturdy, and completely removable straps that could be altered to a halterneck ...or crossback (or whatever else you fancy) style. Also, though the color is billed as 'navy blue,' it's no navy - the Affinitas website does have an accurate picture of the color, however. Also, note that this bra does have graduated foam padding in the cups, despite being billed as a t-shirt bra. I wanted this, but if you're not looking for a slight push-up effect, be aware.
Definitely a nice bra, and it's a shame it's not made with a smaller band size. If you can fit, it's a good buy! Read more 91 more words
This would be my ideal bra if it came in a 28DD! It's low profile and simple plus it's nude and we all need nude bras! The 30 band was true to size and the cups were too, I wish they came in 30Ds because I would have reordered that for sure!
The cups on this bra are too shallow for me and the wires too narrow. It is hard to see in the photos, but the closeup shot of the one side does show how the top of the cup is too tight across me. The bra feels as if it is pulling my flesh downward and compressing it rather than lifting it up. Unfortunately the next cup size up (30D) wasn't manufactured in this model.
Overall the bra is OK. It seems like it would give nice shaping in the correct size. The narrow, stretchy straps and stretchy-feeling band make it feel like something one could pick up at Target (in other words, more for looks than function). This bra does NOT have any kind of push-up or bump padding in it, unlike the Affinitas Intimates Taylor Push-up . It has a thin foam lining.
