I know that this bra doesn't fit. It's from my pre, ABTF days and I get serious quad boob and side boob! But I'm going to be bad and say I really don't care becuase it is just so pretty and that is why I bring it out still every now and then.
The band is a bit snug on me. I measure to be a 26DD but I purchased at 28D and the band is still a tad tight. It is fine to wear and I have no issues with it being a bit tight, I just wanted to note it. It has great lift and comfortability.
This bra looks really cute, and it comes with no extra padding on the inside, which is nice for a change! That might be the reason why this doesn't fit me however, as it ends up having more depth that the Boux styles I have tried. Because I don't quite fill it out, it ends up looking kind of pointy on me. Too bad, this would be quite cute if it fit well.
Oddly full-coverage for a plunge bra (top edge sticks above edges of tank tops). Inner edge would be too closed to create good cleavage without quadding. Wires a bit too wide but not bothersome. Fabrics are REALLY pretty and that rose in the middle is awesome!! Straps are a good width, but are itchy by end of day. Cup seams make the cup a bit pointy but looks fine under clothing; also lined with itchy fabric and seam binding. Apex is filled, only a tiny bit empty space at bottom and sides, only a tiny bit gappy when slouching, so great shape for me. Band is REALLY tight ...for a 30; a max stretch of 28.5" is a bit tight on me, with an underbust of about 28," but I find this a trend in Boux Avenue. Gore is nice and low, no stabby stabby into sternum.
Overall, it's pretty, and fulfills my desire to have cheaper sexy/cute/lacy bras like I had before I properly fit myself. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
*Edit, Oct 6th, 2016* The band fabric has stretched out quite a bit already. (I wear it every 2-3 days usually.) I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the price is low and quality not necessarily the best out there! Now the unstretched measurement is 24 inches, and stretched 31 inches!!! That's QUITE a difference in one month! My new advisement is to get the size you usually do, rather than sister size up, and just use an extender until the fabrics relax. Read more 147 more words
This bra has very wide-set straps, it comes with a J-hook but it is very painful to wear. I find the straps always fall off, the top edge of the cup sits way too wide on my body, sometimes digging into the side of my armpit. The top edge gapes as it is too wide. The gore,which is tiny,doesn't sit flat,about an inch and a half away from my body. I don't really like this bra but there is so little choice for a 28D/DD anywhere. Alas, the bra is exteremely comfortable,band wise.
I looked at every one of your pictures. I think you have an extremely projected, bottom heavy breasts. Because of this, you are wearing all of your bras far below wear yout IMF, your breast would probably force the bra to sink down that low because it is trying to find room. Try an Ewa Michalak or Comexim bra. All of the bras you have tried are too shallow with too small of a cup which is why the Gore will not tack and when you push it in you quad boob allover. I HIGHLY recommend non padded bras as you will actually be able to find one that fits without having to buy polish bras. Being flat chested has nothing to do with being projected or shallow.
What a pretty bra! It is a moulded, seamless plunge with a HUGE wedge of thick,thick padding at the base of the cups,which makes it very shallow at the bottom, this isn't good for me as I need a bra with a fair bit of space at the bottom. This is why the bra gapes on me.
Very cute. This bra definitely fits more shallow that my other bras from Boux Avenue. The width seems ok, but the depth might be borderline (almost too shallow for me, and I am shallow and wide roots). When I scoop and swoop my nips peep out over the top of the cup! But after some time, everything seems to settle in place and things don't poke out. I think the cut (this particular plunge) may be just too low for me, as it doesn't give good coverage, however I am happy enough to keep this for now, and am thinking of trying 28C. The band ok for me on the tightest hook. Update: One downside is the straps are quite uncomfortable, the strap started to hurt and cut into my shoulders after half a day of wear. The side of the straps do seem a little sharp. The straps themselves seem quite short too as I can fit into the bra but can't extend it much further, compared to other Boux bras.
Man it's so hard to find bras with cute, lacy designs that fit me! This one looks lovely and seems to fit well in cup width as well as depth, as I don't have gaps at the top, and the wire doesn't cut too narrow into the boob (both my two most common problems with other bras: gaping is all too common, and when sizing down, the cups are always too narrow!). The band might not fit me perfectly on the first hook, but at it's narrowest it feels like a good fit. I will need to wear in more to determine how happy I am with the comfort but so far I'm excited about having something cute like this!
Love the look of this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I have it in black. Fits nicely in cups and width. No gaping when bending over or standing! I would prefer to have a tighter band (I think I am closer to a 28C perhaps) but band length is ok for me. Just so excited to find a bra that doesn't leave a gap at the top!
Vavoom! Definitely lots of padding with this bra. I will be choosy about when I where it. Given that I do not currently have such a bust enhancing bra it should be a nice addition. I did wear it for a couple of days so comfort was fine. While I marked that it did not fit, I will temporarily shorten the band and see it that provides a better fit for the cups, then on to the strap placement if necessary. Thanks for the transfer!
As usual, super pretty fabric, but not perfect fit. Straps too wide, cup edge wants to curl back and stick out making the cups too open (what is with their manufacturing process?! It seems like they stretch the upper edge while sewing the lace to the foam!!), wires too wide, bottom edge of cup a bit too shallow... BUT I WANT IT TO WORK!!! SO PRETTY!!! And SO expensive to return!! ($65 to return in original packaging?! Waaaaht?!) I noticed something very strange, and it's quite apparent in the pictures... the right cup upper edge is even MORE stretched open than the left. So annoying to deal with. ...Again, inner cup fabric is itchy, but exterior fabrics are beautiful. My phone cannot capture the beauty. Could potentially fix by moving straps in. Seems the too-wide straps of the balconettes contribute partially to the cup gapping on top, but they are very clearly stretched out probably while sewing. In summary, to fit into Boux Avenue's regular bras, you need to have very shallow, slightly wide, and tall/FOT breasts. I am very FOT and have quite tall roots, but this STILL is too open. What???

THIS IS SO PRETTY. WHY DON'T YOU FIT?!?! The Beautiful by Boux is a line made specifically for DD+ cup sizes. Oddly enough, it is slightly narrow and a lot more projected than their regular line of bras. Being a quarter of an inch narrower in wire than their popular Chloe balconette, and an entire three-quarters of an inch deeper, and an overall more rounded shape (their popular blaconette is flat and shallow overall), it definitely fits 1-2 cup sizes larger than the other 30E bras. Like the others, fits like a 28 or tight 30 (max stretch of 30 is pushing it comfort-wise). It has a gothic arch ...in the middle, but the wires come up so high and for some reason are even more firm (feels like punched steel wires), so the gore is SUPER painful. I added a picture to show how much they were pressing into my sternum. Straps are too wide, and inner cup fabric is itchy, but exterior fabrics and findings are soooo pretty!! This is a very center-heavy bra, and more closed-on-top than their other bras (which are strangely TOO open on top while also being flat and shallow), is slightly less shallow at the bottom of the cup, and has a deep and slightly pointed apex (when I filled in the space with push-up pads, it rounded out.) So although the left side of the bra doesn't gap, the cups are still too big and are definitely empty in the apex. (A weird trend that I noticed with all three balconettes I received: the right edge is longer/looser than the left.) I'd say that this fits closer to a full and round 28FF, or slightly smaller 28G. (In comparison, I consider myself to be a more pointy, less full 28F.) I could potentially make this fit by moving the straps in, because they are WAY too wide, but I would still need to somehow take a wedge out of the inner top cup edge. Boux Avenue doesn't do international exchanges, so I would have to pay anywhere between $22 and $65 to return this bra within the given time range, and then pay full price and shipping to get the next size down. I would love to try this in a 30DD, but that is WAY too much money. So either I have to adjust it, or sell it, and see the beauty go. :,( Read more 294 more words
This is such a beautiful bra, the pictures don't do the blush and ivory and details justice.... WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SUCH A STRANGE SHAPE?! It's wide, extremely shallow, and super open on top. I don't know if the tension of the fabrics is off, or they're manufacturing these bras so quickly and cheaply that the top edges get stretched while adding the upper laces, but for some reason the edge of this bra was curling back so that it stuck out. On me, there's a lot of empty space in the sides and bottom, and my breasts are exploding out the top in a cakes-on-a-plate way, ...which would look really awesome if only the top edge of the cups didn't stick out like they do!! A complete shape mis-match, and even more shallow than their popular Chloe balconette, but the usual way-too-wide straps. The inner cup fabric is WAY softer than the other bras, which inner cup seam binding and cup fabrics are really itchy. SO pretty. Not sure I could fix this one to make it fit. :/ Move the straps in? I dunno. Read more 78 more words
