This is a heavy-duty bra! The padding is very thick and makes my breasts look much bigger than they actually are. The band is also pretty tight, I actually had a hard time getting the clasp done up. Once I was in, I felt pretty comfortable. Unfortunately, both the pattern and the seams of the cups are very visible through most of my shirts.
I don't think I'd enjoy wearing this bra in the summer, both because of how heavy and heavily padded it is, and because I'd need to wear thicker fabric shirts to hide the bra. In the winter, under a bulky sweater, this bra would be great to give some curves.
Very pretty bra, with a beautiful color and somewhat simple design. Three part cups that have a good amount of room and stretch directly at the wire. The cups are too deep for me, and I cannot wear this height gore. The bra has a sturdy feel to it.
This bra is a good fit on my 30DD-30E frame, no quadboob (my chronic issue with ill-fitting bras), decent adjustability of straps. But the underwire has a tendency to dig into my flesh and the material is really uncomfortable. It's my begrudging "oh god, no more clean bras" t-shirt bra of last resort.
I also hate the color because it makes me look washed out, which doesn't do much to endear me to this already problematic bra; however, the lace detailing is attractive and doesn't look cheap.
I'm being very nitpicky in my answers to the fit survey. I said there was quad-boob, but there is only a very tiny amount, and only in certain positions (you can't see it in the pictures, which is a good sign that it fits pretty well most of the time). The gore tacks when I'm standing up straight and pushing my chest out, but that's also when the slight quad-boob happens. When I'm slouching, the cups fit fine, but the gore is slightly gappy. Though certainly less so than other bras I have and enjoy.
If this bra were very comfortable, I would overlook the very minor fit issues. But it's weirdly not, even though it looks like it would be. The material, though smooth and non-lacy, doesn't have a lot of give. The band is on the tight side, with the cup bottoms pressing into my ribs. (Maybe a 32E would be better?)
It's a B+ bra--decent, but I'm not over the moon about it.
I am really happy with this bra. It is very comfortable and I think it fits really well. I usually buy a 28, but as this only starts at a 30(8) I had to get that. However, it isn't as bad as most 30s. Although I can still comfortably wear it on the tightest hook. The cup fits really well. I tried the 8f and 8g (they don't do a ff so the g is the equivalent of the ff) and the g seemed ok too, only a fraction gaping, but I preferred the look of this one. The padding is only very soft which I like ...(much less bulk than something like freya deco). I have read some other more negative reviews for this brand, however I have to say I am really pleased and am going to buy more of them. Whilst this size range is really common in the UK, here in Australia I think this is the only brand made in this size range (I know this is ridiculous!) so I am just pleased that there is actually something (nearly) in my size in my country!!!
Note: after a few wears I decided to take it in a bit as it was riding up. Otherwise I ave been happy with it and find it comfortable. Read more 112 more words
nice tight band for a 30 (more like panache 30) and gives a rounded shape from the side. The color is porcelain rose, but it is really a VERY bright coral--neon! I wish this bra came in "normal" colors like nude or black. Since I'd never really wear any of the other colors available (hot pink or bright blue) I'm returning this. If it was $30 or so on sale I would definitely get the 30F again.
