I got this bra from bananaboats - thanks! This is my first bra from Katherine Hamilton, a brand I've always been curious about but never took the plunge because of the stiff wires, high gores and short cups that wouldn't work for my close-set and full-on-top boobs. I'm quadding out of my 28FF - Panache » Andorra Non Wired Bra (5671) , so I needed a replacement wireless bra for lounging.
My usual UK size is 28FF/G, and my shape is projected, FOT, narrow and tall roots, super close-set, soft and self-supporting. This bra definitely runs big in the band and small in the ...cups. It's labelled at 26H but stretches to 28.5" and has a 9" depth.
I love the eyelash lace and the overall appearance. The straps are crossed in the back which gives nice lift and support. There is also great coverage from the tall cups. I would say the cups are not very narrow and projected but it doesn't matter because it's a wireless bra. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase especially given the price.

I've seen wireless bras with wire channels like this one around here and there. How would you compare this bra with a more traditional wireless bra?
bustyand The only bra-sized wireless bras I've tried are 28FF - Panache » Andorra Non Wired Bra (5671) and this one, and like Medium bralettes from Freya, VS and H&M if you count them. I think the bra-sized ones are definitely more projected.
This does not fit like a 26 band. Not at all. The band stretches to 30 inches. That's enough space for my entire hand to fit under the band! The disconnected layers of mesh and lace are odd. The top of the unfinished mesh at the top of the cups can't decide if it wants to fold under or lay flat. The U-shaped wires are odd as well. The gore tacks but it sits very high and the outer edge of the wires is too close to 'armpit stabby' zone for long term comfort. The lower curve of the wires sits exactly on my ribs. If that sounds ...uncomfortable, it is. The center band beneath the gore also floats entirely. It puts pressure in a lot of weird ways.
Edit: I wear this on the middle or tightest hooks and it definitely likes to shift around. I started developing allergic rashes to the hardware that connects the straps to the cups a few months ago. It's the okayest fit I have to work with currently so I have to keep it in rotation still. Read more 75 more words
