I've been keen to try Fortnight for ages cos...well, hasn't everyone?! Gorgeous bralettes that are somewhat elusive due to being Canadian made means it's pretty hard to come by them in the UK. I swapped for this bra cos I thought it'd be a great chance to try for size. When it arrived I was a little disappointed as it wasn't as pretty as I was expecting - pink is never going to be my first choice but the fact the material has a certain shininess to it put me off - reminds me of nasty flesh coloured shiny tights! Plus it looked tiny - I'm ... talking child-size, so straight away I thought it wouldn't fit.

However, it is in fact a great fit. The cups are perfect for me. For a wireless bra I think it's super supportive, It cups and shapes my tissue slightly to give a pleasing natural front cleavage, although as you can see in the side shot it's not going to disguise my FOB tear drop shape, although that's no bad thing.

I wore it at the weekend to lug some boxes around, and actually went out in it today with a thin-ish cotton top over it, and it's definitely the first non-wired bra I would feel comfortable doing that in. I can't say I noticed any more movement/jiggle than I would with a reasonably fitting wired bra - awesome!

I like the length, it really is a proper longline and fits kind of like a crop top would. I do prefer walking in it to sitting/lounging as it does roll up a little if I'm slouched on the sofa.

I feel this is a case of practicality over aesthetics here. The Vega has won me over.

It's comfortable, it's cool for summer, they're all pretty, and the shape isn't bad. The Vega is best for hot sticky weather. It's more supportive than Mira, less rigid than Luna. The fabric is really thin and breathable.
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.

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.

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.

Love this! Very comfortable. Minimized shape. Cups are set more widely than are a best fit for me. Longline is comfortable. I'd love to get this in a cup size up

Very comfy! It gives me a quadboob and fairly decent support. This will not lift your girls to your collarbone, FYI. This may work better on shallow girls, as I am projected and even/FOT.

We've reviewed the Maryjane and Mira longlines. Now it is time to review the Veg

Selling a pink and white 30C Vega Longline by Fortnight. I accidentally bought the worng size in the bra and can not return it. Fortnight lingerie is a petite friendly company meaning there 30 bands fit like 28's. Also in the Vega size the cups run one size small so most go up a size in the cup. I am a 28D and I should have bought a 30D not 30C. This style would best fit a 28B. Will send pictures if needed.

This is a very understated wireless bra. For me, this had great support and was immensely comfortable - at first. I am experimenting with sizing after years of wearing the wrong size. I have realized it is too small. I am not an expert like many of you, but I think this fits like a 28 D or 28 DD. Note that the sides come up fairly high under my arms - perhaps because I am only 5'3. It is just OK on me, but if you are any shorter the underarm fit might be an issue.
