What I like: This bra is the perfect replacement for an old favorite of mine. It is thin, but thanks to inside sling support (I think this is what its called) it is very supportive. It also minimizes my breasts a little. It looks good under most shirts, the lace hides better than most. It is white with yellow accents. What I don't like: Wearing it all day yesterday made it a little uncomfortable under my arms, like it was a little too high or too tight there, but this may get better when I wash it.
It is very similar to the Fayreform Adoring bra that I also have, the cups and internal support are the same, but the color and trimmings are different. Adoring also has some additional supportive features like the extra wire at the sides of the bra, and a more stable bottom band. However, I think that this one fits the shape of my breasts better than the Adoring one.
This is probably the best fitting bra I own. (In the cup at least). My regular bra size sits around a 28G however in Australia 28 backs are near impossible to find as most companies start at a size 32 back. That being said, I have being sewing in the backs of my bras since my teenage years so I am quite used to this predicament.
This bra looks absolutely massive in the cup, however... once I have it on it fits like a glove. As the name suggests I have found that this bra really does give a perfect profile. The cups completely cover my breasts with ...perfect separation and no cleavage what so ever. Perfect for when you are after modest smooth lines. The cups are quite deep particularly towards the bottom making it great for bottom heavy breasts.
The bra itself is what I call a 'granny bra'. Meaning to say it is butt ugly with a very full cup. However that's why I love it. I don't have to re-adjust the cups as there is no way I am going to come out of it and it makes my breasts look modest whilst still maintaining a natural shape. (Unlike some minimizer style bras that just squash you).
Unfortunately half of the bra straps are not elasticated and the straps do no adjust as tight as I'd like. This can easily be remedied by simply sewing them shorter.
The fabric of the cups is slightly thicker than say a single layer cotton however it is not thick enough to prevent nipples showing when cold but then again this is probably not the type of bra you are going to wear under a skimpy singlet as the cups and straps are so full.
I would highly recommend adding this bra to your stash. Cups sizes are very generous and bra is super comfy. Read more 208 more words
Wow, I never expected this bra to fit me. It looked way too big! Imagine my surprise when it did. For me, this is a great bra to wear under a t-shirt or top/dress that isn't cut too low. The cups are full, so they'd peek out if you are wearing a deep v-neck or anything. But under a t-shirt or knit top, it gives me a nice, smooth profile. I wouldn't really call this a ~*sexy*~ bra, but it offers great support, a million times better than my old (ill-fitting) bras. My posture is improved automatically just wearing this thing! So it makes a great addition to ...my lingerie wardrobe, even though I generally prefer the ~oomph~ of half-cups and plunge bras. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a basic, comfortable no-frills bra with full coverage.
[ETA]: Turns out this bra is too small. Still better than my old bras by a long shot. The deepness of the cups fooled me at first, I think. So, if you're looking for a 32E with deep cups with full coverage, this is the bra for you. I forgot to add that the material of the cups is really interesting: they are almost foam-like. Like one of those "spacer" bras, but there is a texture pattern in the cups. Read more 112 more words
