    30DD

    Fits

    Last week I was on a trip in Montréal in Canada. I have been looking for a strapless bras for a long time and I thought it would be nice to find one in a shop: I can't find my size (28E/30DD) in my country (France) so I normally only shop online. So I go to the shop Hudson's Bay. I had a hard time finding something in my size (many matrix sizes avaible). But thanks to Bratabase I knew B.tempt'd By Wacoal was selling 30DD bra and luckily I found this bra in 30D and 30DD with a discount. First I tried the 30D ... bra but it was too small in the cup but it was not a surprise. Eventually the 30DD was an okay fit both in band and cup and now I can wear strapless dresses without straps showing off!

    Pros:
    -On this bra the hooks are on the side which makes it easier to close: I know some ladies here find it difficult when there are many hooks in the back
    -This bra is less boring because of the lace
    -The band is tight and more a 28 band than a 30 (I mostly wear 28E bras). The bra stays put throughout the day without bothering me

    Cons:
    -There are many hooks (5) and only two rows
    -The lace can be visible though a tight shirt and maybe I will try the Freya Deco Strapless Bra soon in 28E for a smoother look
    -The size range is not wide enough (no 30DDD in this model but thankfully the 30DD was a nice fit)

      I'm so happy this fit and very happy to see we have some native French people here! I know how bra sizing is in france as I am obsessed with several french brands but they practically scoff at the idea of a small band big cup. The few times I find 30/75 bands through french brands they only offer A and B cups. It's quite sad.
      But if you do decide to get the Deco Strapless make sure you get the 28F! I typically wear a 28D and the 28DD fits well on me, if not a bit small. It tends to run small in the cup.

      Thank you for your comment LeProfessor !
      In France bra fitters put me in 85B bras (32B) because they judge I have too small breasts to be a 80D/E (30D/DD) and also to try to sell me something. Some French brands (Etam , Aubade , Lejaby ...) stock 80/30 bands with cups like D/E (or even F for Lejaby) but they are only available online. Too bad!
      I agree most French fitters consider it is impossible to have a small band with big cups. In store it is really hard to even find 85E/F (32DD/E). They point out that if you outgrow your 85D then you buy a 90D and not a 85E! The most popular band here are 90/95 (34/36 UK) even on small ladies but I think it is the same in the US, isn't it? They also think the 75 band (28 in UK sizing) doesn't even exist or is for anorexic!
      When I say I wear 28E bras in UK sizing, French fitters just laugh at me! It's such a shame!

      That's so crazy, like my boobs are too big for the 85D, not my rib cage!
      Makes you want to scream at the fitters "Would you like to see my bra tag! This 85B you want to give me soo badly smooshes my breast tissue under my arms, do you not like my breast tissue being on front of my chest!??!?!"
      And yes, a 90/95 is the most popular band here in the US as well, as I am sure it is over most the world. Though women with very small rib cages like I are fast to discover 85 bands. One girl I know has a smaller rib cage than I and she is wearing a 85D and completely spilling over top of it. Poor girl. I tried to tell her about real sizing. Can you imagine the size she would actually be wearing her real band size of 65/70? She'd probably be like 65H/HH or a 70GG/H. Has all sorts of back problems.
      I'm a bit surprised that they don't fit you into a 90B instead of 85B, I could only imagine how you would be falling out of 85B. I was wearing a 85B most of my adult life, but then again, I get sized into anything from 85A/AA to a 90A depending on where I go. So perhaps I shouldn't be surprised!
      If only those brands weren't SO EXPENSIVE. I LOVE YSE LINGERIE! It's a french brand made for smaller busts, and they just introduced D cups, but ONLY in 85+ band sizes, and I have literally been begging them for anything but an A or B cup in a 80 band. BEGGING! XD

    • 1

      Of course the 85B is way too small ! Even the 85C is too small ! Now I simply avoid bra fitters: they tend to measure my underbust loosely and squeeze my breast tissue with the measuring tape!
      One or my friends wears 90E (34DD) but her band is riding up, the cups are floating over her breasts and she is also spilling over the cups a lot. She was wearing 95D (36D) for a while but recently she convinced herself to try the sister size down. I guess she is more a 32FF/G or even a 30G/GG. Like the girl you are talking about she has had serious back ache. She is considering getting a reduction when a better bra may solve her problem. I should tell her about real sizing but I don't know if she will listen to me.
      I hope your friend will listen to you and try some 28G/GG to begin with. Maybe ordering custom sizes from Ewa Michalak or @Comexim is for later and a bit tricky. When I was a 28DD I ordered the 3D Satine in 26F and it was too small both in the cups and the band. I couldn't return it so I give it to a friend of mine.
      On Monday I will receive Aubade bras on sale. (I can't afford to pay full price!) I hope some of them will fit me.

    30D

    Didn't fit

    This summer, I tried a number of different strapless bra options. Since I have developed a strong aversion to padded bras, it's been tough to find a strapless bra that fits my comfort criteria. Plus, it's already pretty tough to find a strapless bra that fits a 30 band or smaller. The B. Enticing is one of the styles I decided to try after Bratabase recommended it for me. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a perfect fit in this style and ultimately ended up not keeping it.

    As I discovered through my extensive exploration of the B. Tempt'd Ciao Bella, I am kind of ... between sizes in their molded bras, between 30D and 30DD depending on the style. While in Ciao Bella the 30DD is a perfect fit, I felt that I am squarely between sizes in this style. The 30D was a bit too small in the cups, so the profile it gave me wasn't very flattering. It had a flattening effect and didn't give me the boosted shape I expect from a molded bra. The 30DD looked ridiculously large and felt just a tiny bit big, but the shape was much more flattering. However, the cups were a little taller than what I am used to, and I found this to be a bit uncomfortable since I like a more open top and have problems with tall cups chafing under the arms.

    This is one of the few strapless bra I've come across that has molded cups and no padding, and in general, I found the cups to be really comfortable. They have a light lace overlay that is pretty subtle. I didn't notice visible lace texture under clothing. However, the shape of the cups is more like a bandeau, so there is no plunge effect at all. This means the style didn't work under some clothing where I would normally want to wear a strapless bra.

    The main issue for me was the construction of the band. This was my first encounter with a side-closure bra, which I hear some people prefer. I've heard some people don't hook their band behind them but somehow put the bra on and twist the band around. This is the only way to close this bra, since there's no real way to hold the band in place at your side while simultaneously hooking it. I found the feeling of hooking it in front and twisting it to be excruciatingly uncomfortable. There is no way to describe how awful this feeling was or why it affected me so much, but I couldn't imagine repeating this intentionally to wear this bra.

    This is really too bad, because the super wide band made this the most secure feeling strapless bra I've ever tried, and as I mentioned, the unpadded molded cups were also pretty comfortable. I didn't feel like I would have to worry about this sliding down throughout the day. However, due to some practical considerations and the closure issue, I felt I couldn't keep this bra. I think it's a great option for people who prefer unpadded strapless bras and wide bands, and I would encourage you to give this style a try.

    30D

    Didn't fit

    Hooks are on the left side, which is problematic for me as I am left-handed. It's extremely difficult to hook and unhook this bra.

    The band is very wide and I found the 30D to be very firm. I might need to go up a band and/or a cup size.

    32D

    Hasn't set fit

    The clasps for this bra are off to the left side, not in the back. Clearly whoever designed this bra must have intended all of its wearers to be right-handed. I am left-handed and it is such a struggle to put this bra on and off.

    Most strapless bras draw attention to some of the sagginess that I have and make me look flatter. I was hoping that the thicker band on this strapless bra would give me more support, but unfortunately, I still have some of these issues. The thicker band does mean that the bra isn't sliding around constantly though.

    32D

    Fits

    I couldn't find measurements for this bra, so I ordered based on my Ciao Bella balconette, since that one still fits well (I've put on about 12lb since I bought that & rarely wore it, only because the straps were too wide). That one was also a 32D, currently comfy on the loosest set of hooks, with the unstretched length being 26" (broke in just a hair from the few times I wore it). Being that it's strapless, I didn't want to do a 30D like my favorite bra, and I didn't want to do a 32C because of the weight gain (worried the cup would be too ... small). So that's everything that made me go with 32D. It showed up, I tried it on, and the weight of them is causing this uncomfortable bulge under the band...because the weight pushes the skin & fat down when the bra sits where it should. If I put the straps on to support some of the weight, then it's perfectly fine, no bulging. My Ciao Bella is doing the same thing right now if I drop the straps off my shoulders. So I know it's not the bra itself. It's just the extra fat over my ribcage that's the issue, which really just means that strapless bras aren't for me right now, & I'll have to figure out a way to use the included straps so that they follow the shoulder straps on the dress. Or I can go strapless & just suffer the entire time anytime I use it. My biggest pet peeve with this bra is where the hooks are. Being on the side is impossible to latch. Trying to latch it spun around to the front makes it a pain to spin it back around to the right position & then slide it up to the right spot. I've never owned a strapless, so maybe that's just the optimal spot for the closure.
