Immediately drawn to the style and look of this bra; it's so pretty! I had originally purchased the 32D and then found this 32C on sale. This one turned out to fit better. Because the 32C fits so snug and the 32D is only about a centimeter wider/deeper, I'm actually considering keeping the 32D for when my breasts grow during my period.
I'm 28.5" underbust but DKNY doesn't seem to have 30 bands so I had to settle. The loosest hook is comfortable and the middle hook is fairly snug. The tightest hook is doable but then the cup cuts into my larger breast.
The cups are soft so they ...don't offer much shape for me. Even so, they fit my breasts perfectly; I've got short, conical, somewhat shallow boobs. No gapping in these cups when I bend over, which is something that doesn't happen often. The bra straps are fairly separated with this balconette style. Works for my broad shoulders.
My breasts are quite separated and I find the underwire width is great for me. They may be a bit too long though, coming up a bit high on my sternum. I do get some armpit rolls on the sides but it's nothing too noticeable.
The greatest flaw of this bra concerns the straps toward the front of it; seems they used some glue or paste to overlay the edges that wrap through a decorative hoop. It makes the edge of this particular area sharp and irritating. Since the straps are close to the armpit, it scratches whenever you move your arm. May be contacting a friend to help me re-sew it. Until then, it'll have to be stashed away in my drawer. Quite the bummer since it's such a cute bra.
EDIT: Was able to fix the scratchy piece by filing it down with a nail file. Read more 196 more words
I typically wear 32D/30E in more balconette styles, but the 32C worked out surprisingly well in this. The cups are supportive and the straps are set at a good width (I often have trouble with wide straps). Two complaints though: I believe I have lower projected breast tissue than this bra is designed for, so the underwire feels like it's sitting low on me to compensate, and the band borders on too stretchy.
A pretty and comfortable push-up bra. Feels soft, and a nice smooth shape on the inside. The band is a bit stretchy. My normal size is 30D so I needed to alter the band after a while.
I wish someone had told me the straps would pop out at any point during the day. This is a convertible bra and the straps at the front have hooks which allow for the wearer to switch to crisscross or halter. However the straps come out of the attachment very easily which is incredibly annoying. I find myself continuously re-attaching the straps throughout the day as they either loose themselves inside my clothing or worse they sneak out from my sleeves for all the world to see! I have read other people have this problem and they have to either sew in the straps or use ...pliers to close the hooks. Besides this this is a very soft and comfortable bra that is good for someone who doesn't need much support. The band is very stretchy so I think this may be problematic for someone who needs more help to support the girls. I am already in the second hook and I have owned this bra for about a month. The bra has built in push up pads but I don't really notice them doing much at all to lift the bust. I give it kudos for the softness and comfort of the fabric. It also fits very smoothly and erases any nipple bumps. I wish it would have come in a smaller band size because I am not sure how long this will last until it stretches to the point where I cannot wear it anymore. Read more 147 more words
This bra is super comfortable, but I am falling out of the cups especially after a good scoop and swoop. I wish they made this bra (or a similar one) in my size.
