This bra fits, but isn't comfortable after long wears. My biggest complaint is that the gore digs into my breast tissue, sometimes making it unwearable. I also feel like the bra itself is too narrow, even though it looks like a good technical fit. I have to adjust it throughout the day.
I'm surprised this fits even thought my sister size should be 36dd, not 36d. Will measure later. The straps are not soft. They are scratchy on the edges. The material isn't quite lace and is rough at all seems. It does have a lace top layer covering the bottom half of the cups and the band. Leaves texture imprint on skin after 8 hours wear. It's not long line, but does have an inch of lace below the band. Underwire is comfortable. Shape is almost too short. Very mustard in color. California gold is apparently a fall color.? I wouldn't buy more, but I'll wear this over the hassle of returning to another country.
Really pretty bra, but I don't have enough on top to fill it. The straps are too wide set and and irritating to my arm pits. I'm also not a fan of the elastic they used, it's itchy.
Have you used ABraThatFits on Reddit's size calculator or input your measurements here on bratabase and looked at your recommendations? Another good bra size calculator is www.brasizecalculator.tk . 90% of women are wearing the wrong bra size and a 36D/DD is often one of those too big of a band, too small of a cup size that gives no support from the band and flattens the breast under the arms. A women whom is supposed to wear a 36D has a full breast measurement of 40" and a under bust/rib cage measurement of 36". Hope you re-measure yourself and find your perfect size!
I concider my usual size 28F-FF and I ordered this longline in 36D, a sister size to 28FF. I altered the band down, yes I know, a little grazy alteration, but it works okay https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The cups fit okay for me. The wires a quite wide, and they needed not be that wide for me, but there is no empty space in the cups and they feel comfortable. The cups give a rounded shape which I like. The wires are very stretchy and flimsy, but they seem to stay ok in their shape when the bra is worn. ETA. oops, I noticed that the ...center gore doesn´t touch my sternum, and if I push it, there is quadboob. So the cups are after all a little bit too small. It is wearable though, and the shape is okay. The fit is just not ideal.
There is a 5 hook fastening, but only 2 columns!! Cannot understand why https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But I do alterations very routinely, so it doesn´t really matter. Straps adjust all the way. It is a very nice bra!
My shape / size seems to be changing so I´m not sure if this bra "runs small" in the cups or not. My boobs are shallow and this bra works with them. Read more 112 more words
This is actually a bit too deep in the cup for me. I get a bit of gapping at the top unless my posture is completely straight. I love the shape so much, though, that I just wear it under slightly heavier shirts and suck it up.
I've heard the Patsy-style padded halfcups are slightly shallower, so I really want to try one of those and see if that solves the issue.
This bra does have some (non-removable) padding at the bottom of the cup. I like the look it gives, although I probably wouldn't wear this every day.
For some reason I get slight gapping at inside edges of the cups next to the gore, although nowhere else. Fortunately it doesn't show under clothes, so I live with it.
