Not suitable for someone FOT like me. I got side spillage by the armpits AND quadboob on the top of both boobs. It's like the bra's shape curls inwards too much at the top, where the upper third of the 3 part construction is. This curl can be seen when the bra is not being worn. It digs in to the slope of my boobs at the top. I did not expect this digging in to happen with a 30F. Maybe this is meant to work for someone with very short roots and FOB? The band does not seem tight enough for me. The bra does not look ...or feel very supportive or attractive. Plus it instantly shows an awkard shape when I wear a top over it.
Before trying this bra on, I looked at the centre part where the underwires meet - the left underwire was further down in its casing than the right side - this has happened to me after months of wearing other bras, but it surely shouldn't happen on a brand new bra! So I've been put off Flirtelle by this, I'm not sure if it was a manufacturing flaw, or if someone had worn it a bit and returned it with tags on. Read more 102 more words
Ariel in the padded version was my first Flirtelle bra and it didn't disappoint! The bright pink ain't for everybody, but if you are a very girly kind of women, I'm sure this "Barbie girl" bra will make you fall in love!
I've made a detailed review in my blog, you can always check it out below! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Had to return this because it fit so poorly. 30F is my typical size, and I had originally ordered a different bra from flirtelle in this size. Brastop does this weird thing where they give you a random bra from the same brand if they run out of stock of a bra before they can place your order. Yes I found it extremely obnoxious, but I'll probably still order from them in the future because of their prices.
Anyways this bra came out small in both the band and the cup. Laughably small. It's been a while since I returned it, but I don't know that I even got it to close. I may have, but most of my memories are just of how ridiculous it looked. I definitely checked to see if the cups fit without the band fastened. Nope.
The material also felt rather flimsy, and while I get that a "delicate" look can be very desirable, I was a little worried about snagging a nail or something.
and just to be clear - a 30F is a cup size smaller than a 32F. The cups are in proportion to the band. so you should be a 30FF (or even G, some of the 32Fs look too small for you also)
Yeah I agree, I've tried G cups and they've all been too big. I'm sure some G cups might work, just haven't found any, 30 FF seems to be my sweet spot right now. Thanks for the feedback :)
But again, a 30FF and a 32FF are different cup sizes. A 30 FF is the same cup as a 32F. A 32FF is the same size as a 30G.
This is a very pretty color. It's not as bright as the stock photos show. I feel like some of the features of this bra resemble the Comexim plunges that I have had. The major difference is the cup width. This has wider cups then Comexim. The wires are short and comfortable on me. Most UK brands dig in my armpits or sternum. Overall I think this is a good buy, especially when on sale at Brastop.
The fabric is pretty, a little shiny and glossy. The laces on top of the cups aren't thick so the bra is discrete under clothes. I fill the cups pretty well, maybe on the verge of being too much. The breasts are well supported, they are enclosed inside the cups but there is still nice cleavage and it doesn't show under round necks or V-necks. My only problem with it is that the band is too large for me : I'm using the third hook and it could be a bit smaller for better support. I've been wearing it almost everyday for the past two month (only proper bra I have...) and it's still in good shape.
The cups were too big. I usually wear a 28G, but this was the first bra I ordered. Band was nice, probably too loose for me in the end. It gave a decent shape, but the material was kind of funny.
The bra is quite sheer which I like, but not as sheer as the Freya Arabella since the bottom section is double layered. It fits well everywhere except the cups. I think I'm a bit full on top, so I'm having some issues with cutting in. It's quite uplifting as well.
This is a pretty and comfortable bra, but I don't like the shape it gives my breasts. It's not very uplifting, and it makes my breasts point down and out to the sides. I'd heard it should have the same fit as Curvy Kate, but Curvy Kate fits a lot better IMO, at least on me. But it should be mentioned that it has a really lovely and smooth material, and the shorts in this set is much more comfortable and well fitting than the Curvy Kate shorts.
this bra reminds me of the padded parfaits :) love the color combo.
