For my shape, this bra didn't work. The lace at the top was totally unfilled, and I've been told the style is more for someone who's fuller on top. The straps are also a bit too wide-set for me. The band fit very well, the gore tacked and didn't stab me. Band fits true to size, and isn't too stretchy. I do plan on keeping this bra since the wires and band fit so nicely, however, and I plan to alter the cup slightly so the lace fits better and the straps don't dig in to my armpits.
I originally ordered a 30F and was quadboobing everywhere. So I exchanged it for a 30FF and now it's still definitely not a good fit for my shape. I can no longer fill out the cup, wrinkles on the tops and sides. The fabric on the sides goes up to my armpits, which wasn't a problem with the 30F. The straps are too long for me and can't be adjusted any shorter. Other than all the fit problems, the bra is very pretty. Additionally, the band on the 30F was tighter than the band on the 30FF. I don't know if quality control is lacking or the 30FF I received may have been mislabeled or something. I like the thin straps and the lace detail. The pink color is a bit of a misnomer as it's more of a light pink lace over a dark burgundy/brown fabric.
As you may be able to tell from the measurements, the band on this bra is hella small. I can only assume that it is mislabeled but as I bought it from a sample sale site, I am unable to return or exchange it. Once I added an extender to the band, I was able to make it fit. The cups fit me very well, thought they do run a bit high on the sides. The straps are comfortable & the underwire kept it's distance from my armpits, which is a nice change of pace. The lace isn't overly stiff but neither is it especially soft. The top portion of the cup has a nice amount of stretch to it, which I liked. It is doubtful that I will wear this very often due to the too small band. Thankfully I didn't pay very much for it.
To echo what the other reviews have said, the band is definitely too big, and the cups run small. I could afford to go a band size down, and three cups up. The bra is pretty, but it definitely doesn't fit.
This bra wasn't actually bought by me, but my girlfriend who hoped it would fit her. The band, however is far too stretchy and stretches to well over 40 inches. The band is also too big on me. The bra is cute, but the inconsistancy in Alegro's band sizes makes it almost not worth it.
Alegro's Flirt Molded Cup is a pretty bra, but it simply does not fit me. The band is too big, the cups aren't big enough and I am constantly readjusting myself through the day.
The cups on this bra (30E) seem rather wide but flat. I get a little of the quad boob effect even though there is extra room on the outer edge between the underwire and where my breast actually begins. I had initially tried the 30F because I read that the cups run small but had the same problem with it...the cups and underwire were even wider and just as flat. I sent it back and kept the 30E as I needed it to wear with a rather low cut dress for a Christmas party. If I'd have had more time I would have ordered a 30D to see if it worked. The girls looked great once the dress was on and since the dress fabric was a crinkly crepe you couldn't tell that there were fit issues with the bra.
I ordered this bra off of Totsy for $8.50, so I really don't feel to terribly bad that it doesn't fit. The bra is a beautiful light pink, with bow and jewel accenting on the gore. It is a very lightly padded, three part cup, plunge bra. The lace detailing on the bra is also a plus.
If you plan on ordering this bra, and you don't like your bands super tight, I suggest ordering a size up in the band. While I measure 38 around, I'm squishy, so the stretched band measuring 37.5 isn't the worst, but it does feel tight. This bra is also a cup size too small (the gore does not sit flat against my chest), and is not wide enough (my breast does not fill the bottom of the cup.)
I find this bra incredibly comfortable. I haven't worn an underwire for 10 or more years,and I don't feel this bra at all. It fits nice,no gaps,and I have 1 boob and size smaller than the other, Even Hubby says it looks good.
It has a tighter band than most 32F's I wear. There's not a lot of stretch to it.
It's a full cup bra and it's tight on the top of the cup. The cups are too small and they actually seem to press my boobs downward rather than upward. I tried this in a 32FF as well and the wires were far too wide even if the cup cup depth seemed alright. Overall it seems to be a very shallow bra.
The bra cups give a pointy shape, not my favorite shape but alright under certain clothes. I do find the material and design of the bra very pretty. Especially the straps.
Very tight in the band. It might be better for someone who's a 30FF. Especially since when the band stretches all the way out to 32 inches the wires bend outwards as well and distort the cup a little.
On me the cup depth is alright but the wires are too wide. I'd guess that it works better for wider shallower boobs.
Cups give a pointy shape. The material and embroidery is very pretty.
I have to wear a band extender on all of my Allegro bras. Otherwise the band is too tight and I have the orange in the glass issue. When I put the extender on I filled out all of the cups and the wires didn't feel wide anymore. I think the wires feel wider if the band is too tight. Hope this helps! :)
Overall: Color is pretty, pattern is attractive but shows through moderately thick fabric. Bra is comfortable, everything smooth and nothing poky or itchy. Not the most uplift ever, but it's comfortable at the end of the day.
Cups: Width that fits my breasts well, volume seems to be adequate, but as it is, my bottom-heavy, moderately firm breasts still fall out the center a bit. This gives me quadaboob where I shouldn't have it. I will mod the gore to be narrower; this usually helps.
Band: Too big, but that's not surprising because it's a 30 band. Taking in the gore should shorten the band enough, though.
This bra is very pretty but gave a very pointed and "east-west" shape. It was the first bra I tried on in a 30GG and the cups were much too small. I would probably need a 30HH in this bra, even though I'm usually a GG or an H. Because the cups were small, it also sort of pushed my boobs down. Luckily it fit my sister, who enjoys it even if it is slightly too pointy for our taste.
