This is THE best wireless bra ever created! It's my one and only everyday bra. I ordered the XS in black. My normal cup size is 30FF UK or 30H U.S. This bra does everything a wired bra does. It supports with fabric "underwire" slings and has side slings. The slings are thick, which in turn supports very well just like an underwire. It rounds me, separates me, has the criss cross function with the straps, and is v-cut so it won't peek out of shirts. This is exactly like a wired bra. I'm amazed. I get all the support and roundness of a wired bra, but without the pain of wires. Wires all seem to dig in to me and hurt my ribs. I wear it with the criss cross option. I love this wireless bra. No pain! This is the best bra I have ever tried and that includes wired bras. Do not stop making it!!! I will be buying more colors! More color varieties would be nice too.

Ehem. So, the infamous Sugar Candy Seamless Everyday Bra (that's a mouthful).
I have spent near a year coveting this bra, but couldn't justify the price. So recently, I just decided, why not? Bought it, eagerly awaited it, got it, tried it on, felt my world crashing around me, etc etc. The usual bra stuff.

As it usually is with SML sizes, one size, in fact, does not fit a wide range of sizes. The Cake Lingerie website lists that 30GG is XS. I would disagree wholeheartedly (seeing as I'm 30GG and this bra doesn't even begin to fit lol). I think this bra would be best suited for 30FF, ... 28G, 26GG (yes, 26) - and an additional cup size down on each band. I guess that's still a wider range than one single cup size...
I think this bra would be too large for someone in 28F, and 30E etc etc, but I could be wrong. I hope this makes sense.
I don't think if I were in the 32 band range (whichever cup size) I would be buying XS at all, the band is very tight on loosest hook, *but* it does stretch to 90cm at widest with some force used (and since there's no wires there's no risk of wire distortion), however, I'm not sure it would be very comfortable! Otherwise, the band stretches to about 71-72cm without using heavy force, and there are six (6!) rows of hooks so a lot of room for that 26-28-30 adjustment. It is a pregnancy bra, after all, which is probably why it works this way.

The cups, however, I don't find to be as stretchy. As a matter of fact, no matter how much I tried to cram my GGs in there, the boobs won every time, and they would just pop back out within 20 seconds. The cups are very interesting. They have a sling on the side, and a sling on the bottom, made of very sturdy thick (maybe not suitable for summer?) material. I can see this giving well support to smaller busted ladies, however for me both these slings were too small. Meaning, they were cutting into my boobs making for a very weird shape... Especially considering how soft my outer tissue is. If they were a bit longer, I think it would have worked wonderfully. The other, my usual issue I have is that the cups are cutting into my tall shallow roots (or the gentle slope, as someone called it here, lol) with a vengeance.
Overall verdict, the cups are too short (especially on the sides), and too small for me.
Under a shirt tho, you couldn't tell. The shape under a shirt is alright.

The center features a gore-ish kinda thing. I read that after wearing it a while it does a really nice job at separating but I don't think I will be wearing it (unless I lose some serious volume) to find out.

The straps kinda adjust long enough, I mean at this point I'm used to none of them being quite what I need but oh well, and these are on the longer side. They are nice and thick and comfy, and can be crossed for racerback.

Overall. I like this bra. I think it's a great wireless bra that seems to actually give some support, the size is just not quite right for me. I think I prefer the Luxe lacey version to this one as well. If money allows, I might be trying the S size, however, I'm not sure it's worth trying since XS seems to be about 3 cups too small.

edit: I wonder if I cut out the slings, if the bra would actually fit because there would be room in there. I just really like the band...

edit 2: THE REMOVAL. I did it. It took me an hour to get all the stitching loose, this thing was like freaking armour! But I did it.
1. I did get (about 1 and a half to 2 cups worth) more space in the cup. I'm not kidding, these slings are REALLY bulky.
2. The band is a teensy tiny bit looser now.
3. The bra is actually kind of wearable at this point.
4. The difference in shape is negligible I feel like. It's a casual, wear-at-home bra so who cares about the shape.

edit 3: some might wonder why I ruined a £40 bra instead of just returning it. Truth is, returning is literally more costly for me than doing this. I wasn't gonna return it anyway and it would just sit in my drawer collecting dust. I did it for bra science.

Cake seems to have remedied the problem I experience in most woven, wireless bras: there is support for 30Gs and the cup doesn't collapse.

Like many wireless bras and bralettes, Sugar Candy is shallow near the gore. I quad a bit, but it doesn't show under thin knits. The quadding worsens after a few minutes of wear as my breast move toward the center. There is excess fabric in the outer portion of the cup that I want to shift near the gore. And, my breasts are pushed further east/west than they naturally prefer. The lift is exceptional; especially when one considers this has no wire. The heavy ... lifting is performed by layers of material folded along the base of the cup. This is more comfortable than a wire for me, but does feel strange. There is some bulk under each cup from the folded layers.

There is definitely space for immediate projection. However, there is no rounding after the lift; the result looks like torpedos. Grimace. But, under a thin knit, the cup is smooth. The Panache Alisha nursing bra was strangely lumpy. Surprisingly, I'm more likely to wear the 30GG Panache Alisha because the shape is more rounded and there are not multiple folds of fabric uncomfortably positioned under each breast.

Straps are fully adjustable and supportive. Band has 3x6 fasteners. The cup material doesn't stretch much. The band is fantastically supportive on my 28" underbust. However, I do wonder how long the 90% nylon/10% spandex will remain supportive. Supporting nursing mothers is a full-time job.

However, I doubt these folded layers would hold substantially larger breasts. It will be interesting to read what other users experience. Certainly, my breasts are well-supported, but I'm on the smaller side of the scale. Because the band does the heavy lifting, ordering the proper size may result in support for larger breasts. This band is supportive on my 28" underbust. I'm grateful!

Nylon dries quickly when wet. And, although I prefer cotton, the nylon may be a good fabric for leaking breasts and perspiration. Once the temperatures soar over 100 degrees F, I'll know more about the bra's drying and wicking properties.

Sadly, I don't think this bra is worth $60 USD. However, it does provide more support than any other wireless bra I've tried. That is definitely worth something https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Sincere apologies for returning this before adding measurements. Oops.

I feel like I am only complaining about the bras I have been sharing lately, but I’m sharing so I can list them. I promise I will have more bras soon to post more happy stuff in. Hopefully. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

I can’t say that I’m officially happy with this bra/bralette. I found it online for a good price and it says it is the right size in xs for my 30F/FF bra size. It’s got redeeming qualities to it but the fit is lacking for sure.

For starters, please look at the measurements with a grain of salt. It’s not really easy to measure ... something like this, but I did my best.

The band on this one is surprisingly snug, and borders on too snug. For a lounge bra, I need some slack for confort. Although it measured perfectly within my stretched band range, I now have it off and my sternum is hurting despite the lack of wires. I’m not sure how this would happen, but I did, only after a few hours of wearing it today while I was cleaning and doing laundry.

The cups are quite stretchy but resistant and I think my problem lies with the fact that I have very soft tissue and lack the firmness to counter the resistance and so it’s smushing me some. I’m also not filling up the cups as nicely as I could if I had firmer tissue. I don’t think it is a size problem. I just get an East West shape from the front, and a strange profile from the sides. I recognize that it is not a wired bra and I can’t expect a wired bra shape.

Also, I don’t know if it’s a flaw, design aspect, or a result of the previous owner (28GG with firm, fot, heavy breasts) but on the side of the cups, it’s puckered like the fabric is loose. The previous owner did not wear this a lot, and it’s ok the outside, so I don’t think that’s it. Is it to stretch more with more volume? I don’t know.

The material is a lot thicker than I expected, though it’s pretty soft. The design in the band is quite subtle, and the straps are decorative which is nice in such a basic style. It’s got lots of internal fabric designed for the shaping and support, and while it’s soft, it’s a little industrial feeling.

Under a loose top, it’s a pretty natural shape and I’ve worn it around my building for laundry, to check the mail, and take the recycling and compost out/down. It’s okay for short term but I just can’t get comfortable enough in it. My aerie chill bralette is way more comfortable than this. It’s also at least as supportive considering that it’s not got any internal shape and support.

My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.

I'm currently a 30G, and this XS fits nicely in the band on the loosest hooks. However, I would prefer that the cups be about a size (or maybe two) larger.

Love it! For me, I think it fits more like a sports bra. Very comfy. You will need to dry it in the dryer, in a lingerie bag b/c it has so many layers. I tried to air dry it, but I ran out of patience after two days.
