this fits quite snug at first but gives fantastic uplift. bought another one and measured side by side - after 2 months the band has stretched at least 6cm / more than 2" so it now tends to slide up. dont buy it if you dont want up front and at em boobs, they are really in your face (and everyone elses!) they provide you with 2 distinct mega boobs that are well supported, very slight excess lace on the top but not too prohibitive. they only come in dark blue or black, sadly. THE MEASUREMENTS ARE FOR THE WORN BRA This now fits better with my rixie clip
A better fit on my smaller boob, as usual. Accurate band size. Weird gaping at the front where the cup meets the strap. A bit too wide. Fits like my Alexa 32J for the most part, except for the weird gaping.
I was fitted for this bra in June of 2012. At the time, it was a perfect fit. Since then, my underbust has gotten smaller and lifting weights has increased my bust size enough that I get quadboob if I wear this. This was the first balconette I tried that didn't give me a bizarre boob shape like a fat foot stuffed into a tiny slipper. It gave a nice rounded shape (not as round as a Deco but pretty round) and was fairly comfortable for the first few hours I wore it. Then the tall underwires started poking under the arms. ...
I have three bras in this size and style, bought rather impulsively before the poking began. On one, I bent the underwires out slightly. On another one, I took in the center gore. The third, I left just as it came. I get poked by all of them. The only way I can avoid poking is to put the bra on the way the fitter put it on me -- arms go in first, lean over, fill in the cups, stand up, and do the hook. The thing is I have a very hard time doing the hooks myself when I'm getting dressed like that. I need to do the hooks first, then put arms and boobs in, in that order. So any time I wear this, I expect I'm going to have to pull it down constantly and I'm going to get poked.
The center gore is pretty wide for someone as short as I am, especially since my boobs don't really have space between them when left to their own devices. There is a bit of an east-west effect. Not toooooo terrible with a crew necked t-shirt, but this is impossible to wear with anything that's supposed to bare cleavage. I actually have no cleavage in this bra whatsoever. That's...weird.
I'm not excited about the yellow color. I don't fully hate it, but I'm also not really feeling it. At the time I bought it (them), I was just so happy to have something that fit, that stopped the fire I was feeling between my shoulder blades, that I didn't much care. Read more 278 more words
