My size 30D in this bra is almost perfect, so I decided to try sizing up and am happy to find the 30DD works great. It's comfy to wear all day and creates a nice shape. It is one of the best solutions I have found in my 2013 quest for some everyday bras that fit!
The bra fit me well as long as I was a 30C, and it seemed to work very well as a strapless. I say seemed, because I've never worn it (no occasions that called for a strapless bra). This is a push-up bra with non-removable cushions. The band is very tight and gives really good support, and the bra gave my boobs a good shape.
this is the most comfortable bra i own so far but it's too small in the cup, especially at the top but my breasts are pretty full on top. i think perhaps i should have ordered a cup larger but for now a little quad boob is tolerable.
I bought this bra in a 30D while in denial of being a 30DD of the same brand after my 30DD had worn out a bit. Lo and behold, the cups are too small. Bought another 30DD and love it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I wish the underwire went further up on the sides, otherwise I love this bra. Was the first bra with a <32 band size that I was ever fitted in and still the most comfortable.
This bra fits great so far. I tried on a bunch of Calvin Klein 30C bras at Dillard's and they seemed to vary immensely in band tightness and cup size. This had the tightest band and stays in place really well (such a nice feeling after wearing 34A's my whole life!) I have a very very slight quad boob in this bra, but it's pretty negligible. This style of cup might not be the most flattering on me (think I will look for more of a balconette style for my next bra, but all things considered, I really love it!
One of the many bras of this type and size I owned https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The fabric is quite luxurious, I loved all of them to pieces but unfortunately these cups no longer fit me.
I think the ivory colour is the prettiest, it looks great with any skin colour and the lace detailing is so pretty!
Unfortunately, I think the ivory one tend to be the stretchiest because of the dye, so it was one of the first to get altered down into a smaller band size after a few wears.
It is a molded cup demi bra. The straps are very thin, so you can wear it with a tank top. The shape it gives is good and it is smooth under clothing. The straps aren't fully adjustable, but with minimal sewing skills, you can alter it. The design is very very pretty, and it is comfortable to well as well. Sadly it is too small on me.
For reference, this bra is my mother's and her underbust is 29.5 whilst her overbust is 34.3 (Just convinced her to let me measure her lol)
Anyways, this is definitely her favourite bra that she owns, but I can tell that the cups are not wide enough for her (She has a little armpit fat going on) and it looks too deep (gaping on the top)
It's kind of stretchy.. she's had it for a while now but it has great detailing that makes it very pretty.
I think the band looks good on her. She likes that it's tighter than all the 36's and 34's she's been wearing before. The 32 band accounts for days when she's more bloated but... We tried putting her in a smaller band before (30) ... and she ended up having horrid back cleavage... so no idea what's going on there.
Probably my favourite bra of all time, this bra fits perfectly except the band is too large for my 25 inch ribcage. I used to wear this in a 30D (Had 5), but have outgrown them a bit.
The underwires are wide and the cups are pretty shallow, like Panache bras, so it would not work for people who are full on top since the elastic sewn at the top edge would cut in.
the only true 32 band i feel that i own-so supportive! still it's a strapless, and the cups are too small so the weight of my breasts pushes it down. gives great cleavage. doesn't stretch out. ugly as sin however.
i think this bra would be great if it was my size. perfect nude color, looks good under t shirts. not too padded. hasn't stretched out at all in the year i've had it.
Firstly, the band runs tighter than normal, so obviously go up a band and down a cup size. When I purchased this bra three weeks ago, it was snug, but not painfully so, and my breasts settled in fine. I've worn it a total of 4 times and washed it after the second wearing; washed in a front loader machine and laid out flat to dry.
It's now painfully tight. The length of the band is actually the longest of my bras, but it's the tightest which makes absolutely no sense to me. In addition, I've now got overflow in the front of the cups, and the armpit 'rolls' I've got are forcing the tops of the cup in front of my armpit to roll inwards, and the elastic and the fabric on the wings have warped. It appears the fabric has stretched, but the elastic has not.
On the plus side, the sides are high enough that it prevents a muffin top from forming on the band on the sides and back. But that's about it.
When I first purchased the bra, the band fit was good, but since then has become loose. In addition I have serious breast tissue migration with over spillage on the band on the sides and back and I get the quad boob when I scoop and swoop. When I move my arms, I no longer get quad boob but instead I get armpit boob. In addition my other issue is that I have a short torso, so the cup is too tall, I realize I need to find and wear bras with shorter cups to reduce issues with the cup causing quad boob when I move my arms.
The one thing I did notice is that the hidden elastic on the bottom of the band has warped, in essence, it does not lie flat and wants to curl into a tube.
It runs small in the band, so I would recommend going up 1 or 2 band sizes. The 30 works well for me because my ribcage is about 25 inches.
I wish that the underwires at the center didn't go up as high, because it digs into my breast tissue there and it hurts quite a lot, pressing into my sternum and leaving red marks.
Not a bra I would wear everyday because it cuts into the top of my breasts slightly, making it look bad under shirts that are not low cut.
Overall, I really like this bra and would wear it for special occasions but the underwires make it too uncomfortable to wear as an everyday bra.
I really like this bra, and although I wish they had 28s, I like it a lot. It's strapless so it's made to fit a little tighter than their normal 30s so that may be why it fits well. It's actually my most comfortable bra so far, it's a little more full coverage and the inside is all finished nicely.
