I love this bra so much! It's so feminine and ballerina-esque. I love all of the rose gold details and cutouts in the band and gore. The band runs super tight (only stretches to 26 inches) which is perfect for me. The cups are nice and short. They could be a bit more immediately projected, but they do give nice lift. The gore is narrow and comfortable. Thanks erispe for swapping this one with me! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Gossard Phoebe is easily one of the most luxurious, feminine bras to ever make i

  I'm so happy it works! I've heard it's a quite specific fit so I'm glad it works on me. And any day is a good day for champagne so do it girl :)

• yup, I've been trying to inform everybody in this community that most Gossard bands run tight. In fact, every single gossard I have runs tight except for the Superboost satin plunge. generally most gossard 30 bands stretch out to 29" or 29.5".

• Saskia That's great that you're trying to get the word out! I took it out of the package and I was like..yep, that's not going to fit well. Haha
  Otherwise, in your experience do the cups tend to run small too, or do you think that's just influenced by such small bands?
  I'd like to order a new one of these.

• I find that Gossard cups run true to size.

• Saskia Ok. Thanks! :)

• I think there's someone on /r/braswap who's looking for this size!
  A good idea is to check measurements and reviews here before buying from new brands. I have the Phoebe as well and I think the downward 7 might have something to do with the seam on top of the cup. I have it in a bigger size than I usually have in Gossard, and it's a bit loose in the cup on my smaller side, but it still cuts in on top and I don't even have that much tissue there.

• I own and tried on about a dozen 30 band @Gossard bras, but I must say none were/are as tight in the band as the Phoebe. I just treat their 30 band as if it were a 28 - but this is more like a 26 band. The Superboost Lace collection isn't tight at all though - true 30.

• erispe That's good to know! I was looking at some of their other bras, but was concerned about ordering the incorrect size.

• erispe I don't think mine is any tighter than the other Gossards I own, it's a 30FF and fits like 28G, but definately not like a 26-band.

• Staaldrigstill I found 30DD and 30E really tight - extender case, while the 30F was good bandwise. I suppose it doesn't come out consistently through all sizes. And it is a different feel with the narrow, one hook band, I find.

• erispe that might be the case, as mine has 2 hooks

• Staaldrigstill While I'm not crazy abut the one hook band, went to compare the 30 Gossard band lenghts and can conclude that the Phoebe 30E is on average 3 cm shorter than most others (DD&E cups) I own and a whole 7cm shorter than the 30DD Superboost Lace 7715 in beige. Given that yours in 30FF is of normal length and I found the 30F OK, I'd say that something went wrong with the sizing at the lower end of the size range. Now I need to get a one hook extender...
