Very shallow at bottom. Nice lace cups. Won't cover-up headlights.

I bought this bra in a 30D but the band only streches out to ~26 inches. Great for those with smaller bands. I used an extender but it still felt a bit too thight.
The cup was OK, works decently for my shallow breasts.

I will return this and maybe order another in 34B.

I soooo want to keep this bra. It's awesome for shallow boobs and makes my boobs look awesome & pushed together. Buuut, the band is really stretchy.. a bit much for my 28'' ribcage and causes it to not hold my scoop & swoop so well. It starts gaping soon after adjusting. The cup is also a bit too short or too narrow and gives me some armpit pudge.
Plus, since it's a front fastening bra, there is only one column of hooks so you can't make it tighter as time goes on.
If it was cheaper, I'd probably keep it, but I'm too poor to keep a bra that is just "ok." Tears will be shed while returning this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It's so pretty.

I have shallow, moderately wide breasts that are conical and slightly tubular. I am athletic/muscular.

This review is an update to my previous review. I had tried this on in 30D and could barely fasten it at all, it was so tight. I returned it and got it in 32C, which fits pretty darn well (I normally wear a 28DD).

Even on the 32 band, the band is on the tight side for me. It's definitely very inelastic. I've never had a bra with a band this unstretchy before, and it's a very different experience. On the one hand, it's nice to never have to adjust it throughout the day. ... On the other hand, I can't inhale deeply.

I'm kinda torn on this bra. First off, it fits me very well, and is moderately comfortable. But I will say that it looks kind of odd on me. It doesn't really give me a shape that I am a huge fan of (though it's not horrible). I like that the lace is thin enough that this can work as a t-shirt bra. I also like that it's very forgiving of shallow breasts - no quad boob in sight! It's not exactly my shade of skin (it's a little too pink), but is close enough that I can use it as a nude-colored bra.

The cup feels very cheap. There's a very inelegant dart running vertically, and creates the illusion of a nipple going on there. It's also a cheap, stiff foam.

The underwire is a bit taller in the armpit than I'm used to, and it goes up a little higher, too. That, combined with a very tight band, definitely emphasizes the outer edge of my breast. This works for me, because it happens to perfectly line up with my pecs and my tail of spence. I could see it being weird for other people, though, especially if they've got very wide breasts.

I had mentioned in my review of the 30D that the bottom of the cup is very shallow. Wearing my proper size, I can say that it's definitely shallow, but not too shallow for me. I fill out the bottom of the cup very nicely. The cups are moderately wide, but not extraordinarily so.

I agree with the other reviewer here - this bra feels cheap. It's very soft, but it doesn't exactly reek of quality. The dart on mine creates the illusion of a prominent nipple, something I don't usually have to worry about.

Overall, I definitely recommend this bra for someone who has very shallow breasts and is moderately wide in shape. In addition, I highly recommend this for someone with a very small ribcage. Just make sure to sister size up one or two sizes.

I ordered this bra along with the Asos Boudoir Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584), and that one is a better fit for me. I have small, shallow breasts, almost always have issues with having too little projection and often find the top edge of the cup cuts in.

Pros:
+ I think this bra is good for less-projected boobs. I could pretty much fill out the cup. I was just a tiny bit short, but it was not noticeable due to the thin foam lining.
+ The bottom half is lightly lined with a thin, lightweight foam. It's similar in thickness to some of my molded bras, but ... it is much less dense. Good for not showing through, helps make empty space less noticeable. It's soft enough that I think over time it will just get smooshed to your shape.
+ Lace top made it impossible to get chop-boob

To note:
= Band size! I agree that the sizing is off. I measured this 30B at 28.5" stretched. I also ordered this bra in a 32A, which measures 31.5" stretched. Not the best for online ordering, but GREAT for those looking for smaller bands. The band is made of mesh, so it feels pretty stretchy.
= The underwire is a more pronounced, deeper U-shape than I am used to, and really curves up and seemed to squish me in at the armpit. I think this is probably to increase cleavage. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I am not used to such a narrow feeling or looking wire.

Cons:
- Not impressed with the quality. The foam lining of the cup feels like it won't stay fluffy for long. And the cup darts! Ugh! The seams stick out and are really obvious. They look pointy on me.
- I personally don't get a good looking shape with this bra under a shirt. It is very narrow and stick-out-y compared to my natural shape.

I bought this bra along with the Asos Boudoir Lace Overlay Demi Cup Bra (371349) and the Asos Boudoir Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584) . While the other two bras had extra tight bands and shallower cups, this one seems to run more true to size.

I have small, shallow breasts, and almost always have issues with having too little projection and often find the top edge of the cup cuts in.

This bra did not fit me well. While it is attractive, I ran into all my normal issues. The cups were too deep, with embarrassing wrinkling at the top. The top edge of the cup was too tight, cutting in and giving me a mock-quadboob even though the cup was obviously too big. Would be a better pick for someone with a different breast shape than me.

I have shallow, moderately wide breasts that are conical and slightly tubular. I am athletic/muscular.

This bra is fairly similar to the Asos Boudoir Lace Balconette Bra (372742) as far as shape goes. The thing that sticks out here (just like the Lace Balconette) is that the straps are much too far apart. Trying to shove them onto my shoulders just distorts the bra so it wrinkles/gaps. It's too hard for me to judge whether or not this would be good for shallow breasts, as I can't get it to sit right. I think there's too much projection for me, though.

The band is fairly stiff for a 30 band, so if you're between a 28 and a 30, this will be perfect for you - as long as you have wide shoulders.

Like the 30D - Asos Boudoir » Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584) , this has an incredibly tight band. Seriously. It's a 30D, and the /stretched/ measurement is 26.5". So that's good news for smaller bands! Even though it doesn't come in a 28 band, those who would prefer a 26 band should give this bra a try. I think I'm going to return it and try a 32C.

This bra is very delicate, there's not a lot of substance to it. The band is a light mesh, and the lace on the cups is very flimsy. I hate that there's only one hook per column.

It's too tight to say for sure, but I think this is a shallow-friendly bra. I couldn't quite scoop and swoop properly.

I was surprised to find that the cups on this bra are actually wonderful for shallow breasts - despite being moulded/padded and a deep plunge. It's a very soft, comfortable bra. I personally am a fan of the racerback, as I often have problems with straps falling off my shoulders.

As you can see, it's a front-close bra. There's only one column of hooks (boo), and it makes the gore too wide for my breasts. The hooks also want to fold/crumple whenever I sit or lean over. Lastly, the cups are just a hair too narrow for me. If the rest of the bra fit well, I could swing it.

If you've got shallow breasts that aren't too wide but there's a lot of space between them, this is the bra for you!

I've got some classic orange-in-a-glass going on here. The cups are too deep, and the top edge of the cup smooshes into my breast tissue. The wires are on the wider side. It's a very pretty bra, but be forewarned: the lace overlay is bulky, especially at the dart/nipple. The band is stiff-ish - it's on the tighter side of 30 bands. Overall it's a nice bra. It's just completely the wrong shape for me.

I got this bra off a listing and it's a relatively good fit, the only thing that doesn't quite float my boat is how far apart the cups are. I quadboob slightly in the front because my breasts are pretty close set, and the wires go further back than my boobs do. However, this bra has pockets in the back of the cups, and I'm thinking if I add stuffing in the pockets and alter the cups closer together I might get myself a really nice cleavage bra.

I purchased this bra to try and replace another Asos bra that was too small. This one has lightly padded cups unlike the other one.

I find the band to be very firm, probably because it is black. I usually wear 28 band and this one fits fine. The lace is not itchy and it's very pretty and subtle. The straps are comfortable and the cups have a little pocket inside (maybe for a pad?).

This seems to run a bit small in the cups, I might even want a 30FF. It definitely fits my smaller breast better. The cups are very wide though. In fact, I think they ... extend past my tissue. Even with it too small for my bigger breast, it isn't so bad that I won't wear it. I might try to bend the wires to make it work better.

The shape is alright. It is something I can wear with t-shirts without much problems. The seams are a little stiff but I hope they relax with some washes. It isn't my favorite bra but it's a nice alternative to my Deco when I want to wear a t-shirt but don't need all the bulk.

I really love this bra! I got it as a gift but it's a cup too small. I think it would be a perfect bra if it were a 30F. It's a black lace bra with no padding. The band is quite snug for a 30, probably due to it being black. I'm surprised by how comfy it is. The cups give a good shape for me and make my breasts feel really nice but I have major quadboob. I tried it with an extender to see if it helped but no.

The straps are half adjustable and it has 2 columns of hooks. There is a small pocket on the sides of the cups. I guess for more support or modesty? Maybe for added padding if you want it. There is ruffle lace on the straps. This bra isn't itchy at all though. There is also a bow on the gore. I really, really wish I could find this in a 30F https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

i've worn it twice, and it already looks worn out and discolored. super loose in the band for a 32 and a little small in the cups. gives a weird shape. obviously cheap foam liner. mesh at top of cups slightly torn already.

This is the second bra that I've ordered from ASOS, and the second that unfortunately will be going back.

The first I ordered was a Freya Ingrid Balconette, I loved the pattern, and ordered a 30G. They sent me... a 30F. Egregiously small, of course. I may have re-ordered in the right size, but I could tell the band would be too loose, so I just returned it. (They did process my return quickly).

Since I didn't see any reviews on here for ASOS brand bras, I thought I'd give one a try as I found one that was only about $12 USD, and seemed like a style I ... might like.

Dolly is a padded lace plunge bra, with three sections to the cup. The particular color-way I have has pink cups with a sort of very light peach lace overlay (maybe beige is a better description?) the band is semi sheer and also a beige color. There are two small bows on the straps about two inches above where the cup starts-- cute, but will prevent those extra two inches from being adjusted fully. Otherwise the straps are basic and utilitarian, a bit narrow, but otherwise fully adjustable. There is a very large bow in between the cups, which is a little too cutesy for me, but still a detail that may be appreciated by some.

When I got this ASOS bra, I once again ordered a 30G. When I got the package, the label on the outside bag for the bra once again said 30F. Apparently, 30F is the US version of the UK size 30G? At least, that's what ASOS seems to think.

Strap seemed a nice length but was very stretchy and did not provide support, I'd need to size down to a 28 band, for sure.

Cups run at least (AT LEAST) two sizes too small, if you are ordering based on the same size chart I am (Freya's). I don't know how a 30F can be considered the same size as a 30G...
D>DD>DDD>F (US size chart?)
D>DD>E>F>FF>G (UK size chart?)

Of course, part of this is just the overall problem of inconsistent sizing between brands.

Though the top portion of the space between the cups is quite tight, the bottom is quite far apart at the front, probably good for wider set breasts. It gave me a very wall-eyed or east-west look (difficult to notice because the quad-boob was so egregious). I don't think the cup shape would have suited me either, it has an almost duck-bill look too it, the shape reads very angular to me and the way the seams are sewn in there seems to be very little padding at the seams probably adding to an odd appearance. The lower portion of the cup does NOT hold a lot of volume, which could be good for some breasts.

The build quality of the cups honestly seems pretty poor to me-- you can see zig-zag seams along the insides of the cups-- overall, this bra read "cheap" to me. I admit that it WAS cheap because it was on clearance, but regardless, it is poorly constructed.

Overall, for me this bra was not worth a re-try, even if they did have a size that might fit me (I guess I'd need a 28HH?).

I'm really irritated that I order one size from ASOS and consistently get a different one because they don't seem to grasp sizing. If I order a 30G, I want a bra that says 30G on the tag!
