I've tried most of Fortnight's wireless styles and I really love the Mira. It's comfortable, it's cool for summer, they're all pretty, and the shape isn't bad.
I have some East/West going on, but that's okay. As far as I'm concerned these are house bras that I can run errands or answer the door in. They give my bony sternum a nice break from underwires and I'll wear them on lazy house days.

The bra is lovely, soft and forgiving. It's simply the wrong size for me.
I knew that when I bought it, but thought maybe it'd work for my 30DD/E bust because it is so forgiving.
It doesn't.

Vega by fortnight. This bra I really wanted to love after heariing positive remakrs online. I bought the bra in pink with ivory straps. For record my usual bra size is a 28D however in Fortnight its a 30C as the band runs very small fitting more like a 28. Usually infortnight I get my regular size, however Vega is made out of a stiff jaccquard material meaning it does not stretch as well as some of their other styles. It is usggested to go up one cup size and remain the same in the band. Unfortnetly I did not know that before purchasing the bra as I bought a 30C it really fits more like a 28B/30A.

fits true to size. the cups are a little small for me but the stretch lace is forgiving enough that it's not really noticeable.

This fit surprisingly well! The band does ride up in the back still on the tightest hook, so at some point I'll probably alter it, but overall the fit was a surprise win considering the limited sizing for bodysuits. Love fortnight. The seaming on the cups made me nervous that it might be too small in the bust, but turns out it's a glove. The metallic sheen is beautiful and flattering as well.

A really beautiful bra! The band is slightly tight for 30 and I'd say the cup fits a size small.

Beautiful color. For me the Vega seems to run smaller in the cups than the Mira for sure by a whole cup size, and maybe a half size smaller than the Luna, so I went with a 30DD in this and it fits perfectly.

Altered the band of this bra tighter to fit. Now it's more of a 30DD--pretty perfect. Love the pink colorway.

The fit on this is pretty good. It looks like I'm a 30D in Mira, and a 30DD in Vega, and Luna--I can almost go either way. The 30D in Luna is a good fit too, the only difference is that the 30DD fits my larger breast well, and is slightly big on my smaller breast. Overall I just really appreciate that fortnight's longlines work for my wide-set shallow breasts.

What a lovely bra! It's subtle, sexy, modern and retro all at the same time--if that makes. sense. The sheer chevron fabric is stretchy and results in a smooth and rounded shape. I haven't tried on a fortnight in several years, and this fits far better than the past models I tried--Ivy in 32dd and 30. It's hard to tell if it's just a better size, or the vega fabric that results in the different fit. I get slight wrinkling at the top of the cup, but I'm not sure if that would be solved by going down a size or if its just slightly tall on my short frame.

Fortnight bands are known to run tight, but the band on this lightly worn one is pretty stretchy. A moderate pull puts it at about 36" stretched. We don't have tons of measurements for 32+ Fortnight bras, I wonder if they run looser than smaller sizes or if this bra is just an outlier.

Excited to try this out in a 30E!
This bra isn't quite as soft as the Mira Longline, the fabric on this one is rougher, thicker, but also a lot more supportive.
It looks to be a little large on the breast, but I think that's mostly due to the larger band on this particular bra. It seems true to size for a 30. Unfortunately, much too large for me, so I will need to alter it down.
Edit: Took off like 1.5ish inches off the band, but the cups are still a bit generous, especially on my smaller side. Ah well, tissue shrinkage has been severe.

I don't need another Luna, I told myself. But what if a lighter color fits differently from the neon/black I've tried?? I have trouble saying no when they pop up at a good price. I watch for them on eBay and seeing one under like $80 is rare.
It seems color did not change the fit enough to stop the cups from cutting in on me. This one measures a bit wider and deeper. Most surprisingly, the cup height is also half an inch shorter. This may be because I measured while wearing it with looser straps where I tended to overtighten the straps on my 30E neon/black Luna. None of this does me any favors. The band is also a firmer one and is too tight for me.
The pale pink/ivory color is really beautiful without being too girly. The pink has a dusty tone to it that makes it very modern and trendy.

I had the same bra and color in 30E but found it too small - the cups cut in.
Unfortunately sizing up to 30F made the cups wider and taller but not a whole lot deeper. The cups seem too far apart and still cut in a bit while also wrinkling where they are too tall for me to fill. Sigh
Luckily I found a good fit with my 32E Ivy Longline. Its lace edge seems to be more forgiving and less closed on top.
Oddly this bra has the firmer band Fortnight is known for, while my same 30E was comfortable and not too tight when brand new. There must be some variation in construction.

I'm a writer: I stay at home all day in bralettes, and then I put on a sportsbra and go to the gym. I know I'm not going to get lift and shaping from bralettes, and I am currently on the hunt for flattering, structured, seamed, wired going-out bras. In the meantime, here's an expensive bra-sized bralette I splurged on to see whether it's markedly better than its $12 Target counterpart. I think my true size is most often 28F. At Target, I buy the small Gilligan and O'Malley bralettes and take in the bands. I got the Vega in 30E since it doesn't come in a 28. ... Love the color, and the zig-zag mesh is delightful. More my jam than froufy lace. The longline style and firm mesh do contribute some support and shaping, and you can shorten the straps - typically I have to alter bralette straps to be shorter. But as usual, I either have to wear the straps too loose, or accept some wrinkling at top. My breasts are fairly soft and this bralette isn't going to change that. S'cool, I can appreciate the sway-in-the-breeze 70s look. I pretend I'm Norma Rae. I actually do wear this bralette out in the world comfortably, under a loose tank or romper. The overall effect is significantly better than the cheapie version, because of the small band/larger cup size and the stronger mesh, but Vega still has all the usual bralette limitations. Upshot: Really like it, glad to have it, would buy more but not at $90.

Super comfy bra but sadly too shallow for me. It would probably fit a shallow FOB 30E well.
