This bra is so close to perfect it makes me sad that it literally doesn't come in the right size for me. I am usually a 32FF/32H (UK/US).

This comes in my sister size of 34F/34G, but the band on that was clearly too big for me. It doesn't come in a 32FF/32H, but I figured I would give the smallest 32 band a try anyway. The smallest cup it comes in is a 32G/32I. I tried it on the outside chance it would work and it almost does.

The band feels good - snug enough to be supportive, but not too tight. The cups are a nice shape thanks ... the the seams/boning in them. My tissue fills the bottom decently (thanks to good projection at the wire), but I can't fill out the top. I think I truly need a cup size smaller. Unfortunately, it literally does not come in the size I need. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'm honestly considering adding some padding to make up the difference, lol.

If anyone knows of a similar bra that does come in 32FF/32H, please let me know.

Just... hmm. Very different in proportions to the UK brands I've been trying. The Keira has a five-part cup - four panels of very nice, soft satiny material on the bottoms with one horizontal seam and 2 vertical seams. Then another horizontal seam separates the top sheer mesh panel. I wish more bras were made of this material! I also liked the stormy blue colorway. But the cups. So large, so wide, so much coverage. They gave me a fairly natural shape, but wider than I like. I have kind of wider shoulders and narrow hips, so wide on top just looks too out of proportion on me. ... For someone with wide hips, it may give a nice hourglass effect. The wires went well under my arms; in one shot you can see a gap about an inch wide at the bottom of the cup on my smaller side. And 17" wire length means they dropped very low as well. In the angle shots it looks like my boobs take up half the length of my torso! Um, thanks, Keira, but I really don't need them to look even bigger than they are.

I bought this bra from Poshmark.com for under $20. New with tags in 42D as a sister size for the 40D's I've been comfy in lately. The band fits ok, maybe a little on the loose side, but not that bad!
Now for the cups. They are too narrow for me. They measure at 6" wide. I've had bras in the past that were 6" also that seemed to fit. I'm not sure why. I'll have to check into that. Anyway, the cups aren't right for my boobs.
I would describe the "Michelle (5000)" as a very sturdy bra with vertical, seamed, lightly padded , lace covered cups. With the upper cups made with a different , stretchy soft lace. Padded underwire channels. The 3/4" straps are elastic and they adjust the length. Two hooks in the back and a pretty little bow on the center gore.
I really wish this bra fit. Maybe I'll try a 42DD or 40DDD.

Great Fit and Support. Very Comfortable and great support considering not underwire or support sling. No bounce or sway, wide straps with cushions are great. Five hook wide back give great support. I can wear all day with no neck or back pain. Fabric is long lasting but soft. This has become my everyday bra.

Thisis a very nice looking Corset. However the fit is all wrong for me. I'm not surprised because it is not anywhere close to my size, but i got it for free. Way to big in the band, I could fit my whole fist under it. And the cups are too small. Also, the cuts are too short for my tall roots and cut into my breasts.

It's a decent fit for me. Add a couple pounds and I'll have quad boob. So if you are full on top, the upper band on the cup might cut in. The lace fabric is sturdy, not soft at all. This is a good work horse bra with some pretty colors if you can get your hands on them.

A good, serviceable bra with pretty colors. The band at the top of the cup will cut in if you are more full on top.

Has a fairly uncomfortable vertical boning out behind the cups.

I have a lot of bras with fun patterns, but was in need of one sold black and one nude t-shirt bra. I had not had a Goddess in about ten years - I tend to prefer a bit less matronly bras and more interesting fabrics. On a whim I decided to try this one and I am glad I did.

When I first took it out, I noticed the VERY firm elastic on the band. It is like a corset! I almost did not try it on. When I first did, I could not get it hooked - it is a tough pull on that fabric! ... Then I realized I needed to let out the straps - with them very short it kept the back too high and I could not connect. As soon as i lengthened the straps, it went on easily.

The cups are a made of a softer material than the band, thankfully. It still has a more industrial feel than, say, a Sculptress Belisle. The inside of the cups reminds me of the Elomi Carmen. The outside of the cup is soft (like an Elomi Cate) except where the lace is - this has a powermesh behind it against the skin. Even the straps are sturdy and firm. This is my least favorite part of the bra. The scratchy firm material on the outside of the band tends to curl under on me and that materials is definitely scratchy. The straps, after wearing a short time, were definitely too short; I could feel them digging into my shoulders.

The shape of the cups - to me - is almost perfectly balanced between round and projected. It is more rounded than Kayla on the front of the cup, but does an excellent job of projecting the sides of the breasts. No tissue is extending beyond the side of my body. It reminds me a lot of Elomi Caitlyn, but my memory is that it is not quite as rounded. Could just be material differences.

The fit is PERFECT for my soft, heavy breasts. The wires only measure 7" wide, but they seem wider on. The wire on the wing side is firmly under my armpit. The wires seem just as sturdy as the rest of the bra and are quite firm.

I would love to know if this is based on any other Goddess bras and if those are a bit softer and less firm AND that have longer straps. Slightly nicer materials and long enough straps would make this a top fave instead of something I have am not going to buy.

Compared to the Clara, this feels taller. The center gore is only about half a centimeter taller, but it feels like more. It almost feels too tall to me. Unlined with the top of the cups in transparent lace, as opposed to the Clara which has a thin white lining and is fully opaque.

If you have tried Elomi Cate or Caitlyn and like it, my guess is that the fit would be similar with this. For me, this is the perfect balance between projection and roundness. Gore tacks perfectly, band is quite firm, wires lay flat under the arm, straps adjust long enough (but without much to spare). It is a very firm and somewhat hard materials - the outside is scratchy and the inside it just tolerable to me - but I am simply trying it on, so unsure of what it would be like after hours; my guess is that it might be scratchy. Would hope a few washings ... would help. I do prefer bandless fronts, but this does not have one. Since the outer scratchy lace side tends to buckle under because of my stomach, that is scratchy without much wear. This could be a reason for me to return it.

Appearance under clothes is better than I thought it would be. The lace does show through some fabrics, as do the lines, but not as much as I thought they might.

Too small cup - gave quadbook. Not a fan of only 2 hooks. Breasts didn't really feel supported, just splayed out.

The gore dug painfully into my breastbone. Also the cups were too big for me, with wrinkling on the top.

Gore didn't tack, wires too wide and tall, not enough room in bottom of cup

I suffer from a chronic illness that means I can't always put on or comfortably wear my underwired bras. I bought the 40J - Goddess » Clara Soft Cup (6633) as an "easy mode" bra for days when I want support but can't handle a more challenging garment.

This bra is well made, with sturdy fabrics and plenty of reinforcement. I find it to be very comfortable overall, though a 38 band would probably suit better since it's already on the tightest hook. This bra also cuts in a bit at the underarm - something I find happens in basically all brands I've tried. The gore ... does not tack - standard for a soft-cup model.

Appearance-wise, this is a very pretty bra for what it is. Since it's wireless, there's a lot of bra and the shape tends to be lower and pointier than a modern underwire style. However, the fabric is a very pretty printed matte satin, and the color is an appealing chocolate brown. I wouldn't choose this model for wear under a low-cut shirt or for anytime I wanted to show off my underwear, but it's attractive enough and gives an acceptable shape under clothes.
