Widest set straps I’ve encountered, and, due to the construction style, they only pull from the edge of the cup, not the seams, so there’s little lift and a pointy shape. Wires also too wide. Gore delightfully narrow - so narrow it wants to twist and overlap - but to little benefit, because the cups are shallow at the gore and don’t allow for central fullness, creating an East-west shape. Very uncomfy fabric and construction, too.

I feel like this would be a great, comfortable bra if you could get your perfect fit.

My main problem is the center Gore is a bit wide, so it's digging into breast tissue.

I'm also not filling in the bottom of the cup, causing some wrinkles close to the underwire. However, going down a cup size causes me to spill out of the top a bit.

There's also some chafing and discomfort at the underarms, where the underwire doesn't fill all of the wire channel.

Love this bra - it's so comfortable, it's basically invisible under clothing, and it feels supportive - my boobs barely move when I'm walking. However, it does have some drawbacks: the gore doesn't quite tack because the structure of the top of the cups is not so compatible with FOT breasts (I think), this 32 band stretches to a whopping 36 inches so I feel like it will wear out quickly, and even though it has some kind of side support panel, the shape is quite wide, which is not the most attractive. Overall, though, the pluses outweigh the minuses. I find myself wearing it all the time, and I think I'll look for it in other colors. It's also usually available for good prices on ebay in this size.

As my weight changes, I keep buying the Rebecca because it's just so darn comfortable. It's delightfully smooth under thinner materials, although it is not low-cut friendly. It's definitely a keep-'em-separated kind of bra, but that is especially nice for some of us when the weather gets hot!

The fabric feels super light weight, even though it is padded. It doesn't make me hot, feels breathable. Comes in some nice colors (i also own the magenta) and the straps are comfortable. I never feel any pressure from the wires - everything is well padded. The lace at the bottom doesn't bother me, either, as some laces at the edges of bras can.

I have had no trouble "over-adjusting" the straps by sliding the adjuster over the embroidered section of the bra. It takes a little pressure, but it doesn't do any damage and it lets me have full adjustability.

This is no fancy looking bra, but it doesn't look grandma-ish, either. It's just a very clean style, with a smooth, rounded shape that looks great under clothes.

I tried on the 32FF (I think) and the 32G (I know) in this bra. I poof over the top of the 32G, so Breakout Bras sent the 32GG. The top of the cup fits great, I don't poof, however, I don't quite fill the cup. The wires don't sit under my breast, but rather half an inch below, on my ribs... I can't adjust it so that the breasts sit against the wire. It is comfortable enough, though I'm not sure it would remain so. I've got an email in to the fitter at Breakout Bras to ask.

However, if it is right for you, it's a nice bra, simple, but not super-plain.

I don't love this one. I think it squishes and spreads them more than most my others, projection is less and the breast tissue is just not so front and center.

Comfortable to wear but really not a fan of the silhouette. My breasts bulge out on the sides making me look a lot wider, and the shape of the cups make me look a little too saggy. Great to wear if I just want something comfortable.

Likes:
- It LOOKS like it fits: my boobs completely fill the cups, the straps aren't too far apart, and the band doesn't ride up
- The wings are short under my arm pits so no rubbing

Dislikes:
- Its ugly
- The gore doesn't completely touch but I think thats only because its too high for my boobs
- It HURTS. the band feels too tight and I get a lot of pain on my ribs that are under my boob close to my armpit (I really need to figure out the word for this area!!)

This is a pretty bra that seems to run a tad big in the cups (thank you, mandapandarawks, for sending it to me!). It's a gorgeous deep fuchsia with black leaf print. The top portion of the cup is non-stretch lace that starts as fuchsia and bleeds into black. On close inspection, it's a remarkably lovely bra and they put a lot of effort into the details. The fit seems to be typical for Fantasie soft cups - they give a slightly pointed or "natural" silhouette. While I prefer a more rounded profile, the lift and support are superb so I can't complain.

My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Special thanks to MamaPagan for sending me this bra (and many others!) to try on!
Appearance: This bra is crazy, in a good way! It's like a jungle bra: the silky fabric on the bottom of the cups is mostly black, with brown, beige, and teal blueish-green floral leaves all over it. The top lace is not stretchy, lined, and is a really cool looking tribal embroidery. Cup is made of 4sections, 2 bottom seams and one top, horizontal seam.
Fit: The cups are too big, and the lace of stretch lace makes it not fit my finicky boobs.

My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Special thanks to MamaPagan for sending me this bra (and many others!) to try on!
Appearance: 4 part cup: two seams vertically on bottom of the cup, with one horizontal seam across the top. The top lace is not stretchy, and is more of a lined mesh. Bronze colored and black fabric, with the same detailing that goes halfway up the straps. The rest of the straps are that ridged/ribbed looking black elastic. I'm not sure what the fabric is supposed to be, like what the design is? It kind of looks floral, but the broad black stripes in it block a lot of the flowery looking parts, if that makes sense. It reminds me of a forest at nighttime.
Fit: Too large in the cup for me, but about one cup size. The band is larger than I prefer, as well. Otherwise, this is a great bra that seems true to size.

My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Special thanks to MamaPagan for sending me this bra (and many others!) to try on!
Appearance: This bra reminds me of a really mysterious, moonlit evening. It's a pretty magenta and black floral lace with a tiny crystal charm at the gore.
Fit: The cup is a tad two wide; there's a finger's width of extra fabric on both of the outsides of the cups. I get a funny shape wearing this bra, too; I think it's called the upside down 7? I remember getting this odd shape from Fantasie swimsuit tops I had tried last summer.

Unk Model Est 32GG
Black Lace No stetch cups

I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

This one was one of my favorites for many years, but unfortunately it was so well loved, the tag writing has worn off. I am 99% positive the original size was a 32GG, as that was the size of my other bras purchased at that same time. I had this particular model in two colors, purple and black. The lace covering the cups isn’t stretchy but do have some give to them. It is a full coverage ... (breast separating) bra from 2006 or so. When purchased, it was most likely an older model, as I always bought clearance back then.

The band measured 25.5” to a max of 35.5” with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 11.75”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 13.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

I can't begin to figure out why this was so wrong! It's super shallow and wouldn't stay in my IMF. I had empty fabric on the sides yet it seemed to pull my breasts apart. The cone shape was so severe I could be mistaken for a mountain range! It was just seriously bad for me. Even though I kept it on for less than a minute, the fabric and quality seemed nice. I love the lace. On the right shape (upper fullness!) it would be gorgeous.

I'm always on the hunt for that elusive t shirt bra. In the right size I think this Rebecca would be quite comfortable and full coverage enough for t shirts or work. It was supportive and smooth. Nothing about it was annoying on my skin. Not exactly a strong endorsement but it is definitely comfortable. I'm not a fan of this style bra and much prefer plunges but for some tops they just don't work so I let the bra fitter at Nordstrom and my daughter convince me that this 32GG fit even though I am usually a 34H or G. It was on sale and tbh I was a little desperate to find something. Sanity prevailed and I am returning it to try the 34.

I was fitted a well-known local boutique (that does quite a bit of online business and has many popular online bra fitting tutorials!) after breastfeeding and wearing exclusively wireless stretchy nursing bras for about 3 years. I expected a new "real" bra to feel tight, but I really feel they went overboard, and reviews I've since found for this store's fittings have agreed. They fitted me to roughly a 32HH in most brands but a 32GG in this one (I came straight home and bought a 34G on eBay, review coming shortly). If I were even 1/4" bigger around I wouldn't be able to fasten it. Additionally, the ... cups are so large and the band so tight, it's distorted things quite a bit. I have to have the straps as tight as they'll go, and would like it to be even tighter on my smaller breast. I am very short-waisted and short rooted, and the cups are very full coverage; they're all up in my Tail of Spence. The wires under the arms don't seem to be a problem though. After wearing it for a couple of hours, my armpits are red, chafed, and sore. I will say it's a lovely bra and the cups are made of a magical material; it seems like a molded bra but stretches and moves with me much better than I had expected. No gapping or quadding at the cups. I believe this is a lovely bra and probably very comfy if you're wearing the right size, but sadly, I am not.
