I have never heard of this brand, and got this 32F Creme Bralee bra NWT on another site for cheap. I had just sworn off of my usual padded bras (no regrets) when the opportunity presented itself to get a bra within the range of sizes calculated by online calculators. By now I know a 32 band is too big (I feel a 30 band would have fit me better) but at the time I was still trying to wrap my head around the possibilty that my 34 and 36 bra bands were way too big for me, so I went with the largest band size the calculators ... had recomded, a 32. I ordered this online, put it aside and just now after a couple of months found it to take a closer look and try this bra on. At a glance the bra was kind of pretty, not too plain. The color is like a slate grey with lace, which doesnt match too many panties I wasnt too upset. The little jewl on the center gore looked like a pretty little detail, but up close, its kind of reminds me of a childs clip on earing. It is a cheap plastic "diamond drop" shaped plastic gem, that is very lightweight, a little bigger than it probably needed to be and its base color seems like this really weird swampy green/yellow, with some purples in it. I don't even think a childs clip on earing would ever be made such a weird color. I kind of prefer something other than a big honkin bow thrown on a bra, and while I can't speak for anyone else but i thought that little gem was unnessary and unslightly. The gore isnt super wide but a little tall. It wasnt great for my center full chest. The gore kept moving side to side, as if each wires didnt line up or one had a crack that i couldnt find at the wire end but mine just may be broken or wonky and this may not have been other bras of this style. The straps were not too far apart. I appriciated that being petite with narrow shoulders. The cups were a little tall for my preference but wearable. The wires and cups were too wide and I need the cups to be more narrow. It caused my breasts to kind of retreat towards my armpits a bit, rather than lifted and projected forward. The cup was too big on my smaller breast, with some empty space noticable at the bottom. i did wear this bra for a few hours with no major discomforts. The band fit more snug than other 30 bands and it looked okay on me but I certainly didnt feel like a goddess. Its an okay Bra i lost weight and now know I need a bra band that is a 28 to 30 max to get full support. The cups are a little tall on my petite frame but not too bad, its kind of just the style. The gore feels was a little off within the channels and on my body. This seemed like a style mismatch but I appriciate that it wasn't too uncomfortable. I think it would better suit someone with different breasts than I have, and those individuals may likely look past the gawdy gemstone piece thrown on top. The bra is fine but i am still looking for an aweaome bra that fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Big disappointment for this bra. I tried the 32DDD and the cup felt a little too small and the shape was odd, so I was hoping that the next size up would solve the problem. Nope. The cups on the 32G are laughably huge on me. I had it on for all of 5 seconds and immediately took it off, it was so ridiculously big on me. It's also obvious that the molded cups of this style are intended for someone with more upper projection than I've got. Oh well, it was worth a shot, since the Amanda Clamshell version fit me so well in the 32DDD, I had hope. This one is just a shape mismatch, regardless of the size. I was surprised by the big jump in cup size, though. I took pictures for the comparison between the 32G and the 32DDD so it's obvious how much bigger the cup is on the 32G. It looks almost a cup and a half size bigger.

Gorgeous, as all Creme Bralee bras seem to be, but too small for my cup size. American Gs usually are, sadly.

This bra runs slightly larger than the otherwise-similarly cut 32G - Creme Bralee » Bettina (12313X) -- I had no problems getting the band shut completely, and it was quite comfortable, despite being obviously too small on me. (Some definite quad-boob.)

I'm going to try out the Curvy Kate showgirl collection line next, because I'm obviously hankering for something in this style.

Beautiful, beautiful lingerie from Creme Bralee. A little bit inconsistent, though, even with only two bras examined. (See my review of the 32G - Creme Bralee » Amanda Clamshell (12336X)).

I wouldn't say this necessarily runs small -- I think it probably runs about average for an American bra company's 32G -- but it IS the first time I've ever been unable to close a band completely, purely due to too-small cups. (Seriously, the band is slightly larger than the Amanda Clamshell, but the cups are also slightly smaller, and the slightly smaller cups made all the difference.)

Creme Bralee seems to make gorgeous lingerie, and at very affordable prices. (DDD and G cups have a $2 premium attached, but since the base cost is $30-$36USD, that hardly bothered me.) I really wish I wasn't sized out of their range!

Hopefully my adding these bras will help someone else. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
