I like this bra like I like Wacoal's b.tempt'd b.wow'd bra - a nice, easy to wear push up like I used to get from Victoria's Secret or some department store. Its so soft and casual, with a comfy cotton feel I don't find in many bras anymore. And it does give me a nice shape and lift despite being illfitting. I'd keep it if only the band were tighter. The cups are also wider and tall, and it has some push up padding making it fight my shape.
Bought this bra and wore it around the house hoping i could make it work. Of course it was too small for me and ive had it in my drawer for about 2 years now and dont think i will ever get down to that size.
This bra is pretty "meh"--the cups are very wide and shallow so it really does nothing for my boobs. The band is also pretty long for a 32 as well. But it's pretty comfy and looks good under sheer tops so i will probably keep it around.
I'm currently floating around a 32GG, but after trying the Le Mystere bustier in 34G, I knew that this brand ran pretty snug, so decided it was probably safe to try the soiree strapless in a 34 as well. It feels pretty perfect in the band on my 31 inch underbust, so this is one you can definitely size up in.
It's got pretty excellent lower depth, which is almost unheard of in a moulded bra or a strapless, but the upper cup is very closed off.
This could potentially be an excellent strapless for a FoB lady or someone with a short root, but is definitely not at all suitable to upper fullness, so I'm going to be returning this one.
This is a really neat bra, despite the seemingly arbitrary US sizing. It is hard enough to find a decent strapless bra for a moderately large bust, not to mention one so versatile. The band runs extremely tight on this bra and the cup runs large. Since the band of this low-back style sits at or near one's waist, I feel that it is better to choose the band size based on waist measurement, rather than that of the underbust. I think the 34 band would be best suited for waists 28-31 inches. I normally wear 30GG in padded styles and the cup depth is about right if I hold the gore flat, but it is both too wide and too tall to be a good fit for my short- and narrow-rooted, very projected breasts. I think the cups of the 34G would fit someone who normally wears 30GG or sister sizes, and has a waist measurement around 28-31" (71-79cm).
I would have thought that when the Tisha Lace regular bra fit in a 32G, the wireless in 34F would be pretty similar. I try on this wireless 34F and one of my wired 32G Tishas I'd only worn once or twice before gaining weight. Which is about how much I wore this one before I gained. However, this wireless 34F bra is much more difficult to hook.
I know I gained weight and it doesn't fit, but I wanted to try to wear this bra briefly again for comparison purposes so I can buy other wireless bras. There are good reasons to have wireless bras!
Wireless is better at ...PMS time for me, for one. I can even get tender breasts at other times too. Plus if I need to go on an airplane wireless doesn't set off metal detectors. And though this is too structured of a bra for me to sleep in, even without wires, sometimes I need to sleep in a bra.
I'd think if I got bigger everywhere, the 34 should be easier than the 32 to hook, since cup volume of 32G and 34F ought to be essentially the same.
But turns out that 32G wired bra still fits better than this one, even being much easier to hook- and I know why, actually- when I lean over the wired cup keeps my boobs in place while I hook it, and this wireless lets them slip backward a bit.
And I know at the moment neither bra "fits" fits, but the funny thing is, the 32G wired one fits better.
Something about the material of this one seems cheaper than the wired one, too. Look bra companies, some of us have good reasons to look for wireless bras, even if we are busty. I don't NEED a wire every day, even if people think I "should" wear one. Do I need a wired bra to watch TV at home? Read more 210 more words
Bought a rare 30C in this bra off of Amazon and it fits pretty close to perfectly. I am very slightly quad-boobing out of the left cup so I might try a 30D to see how that works.
The straps are maybe a touch wide set for me.
It's also very pretty and appears to be well made. The lace is not itchy.
This bra unfortunately makes my breasts more pointy than round. It doesn't budge once I get it on. It is extremely uncomfortable for long periods of time. I did force myself to wear this style for a long time, and they do last forever, if you wash them by hand and hang to try. The boning digs into my armpits and sides when I sit, and I can't stand to wear this style anymore. The Le Mystere Lace Tisha Bra (965) seems to irritate me less, and I would much rather wear it, although I prefer the plainer details of the Dream Tisha for some of my tops.
It's a transformer bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":O" /> It goes from regular to halter (yay!) to supposedly racerback. But the straps would have to be long enough to convert it to be a racerback (grumble grumble grumble). Sheesh, I'm only 5'9"; what do tall women do? Not ever get to wear convertible racerbacks? Anyway, the color is nice and it seems comfortable. Nice tiny gore. But the lace that makes up the straps above the cups wrinkles. So I looked at pics of models wearing it, and the lace wrinkles on them, too. So I guess this bra is supposed to wrinkle. o.O But this bra will allow me to wear a halter dress I haven't worn in years, and it'll be a nice comfortable lounging around bra. Not too bad for a $10 clearance bra.
In case anyone ever reads this who is a bra manufacturer, please make your #$% straps long enough on a convertible bra. Thank you.
This is a rather plain t shirt bra but one that gets pretty good reviews so I thought I'd try again. The 30D's cups were too small, so I ordered one size up. This bra must really run small because I still got a little quad boob, especially towards the center. The straps were too far apart for my frame so going up again in cup size is not an option.
The Dream Tisha is made of comfortable, seamless fabric. I wanted to like it based on the comfort alone, but the cups are too wide for my breast shape and point too east-west for my liking.
This seems like a good "workhorse" bra - lol I don't know what else to call it. It's not overly fancy, but it does push up my breasts nicely without being over the top like *BAM!* CLEAVAGE! I like the way my breasts look in it. It looks good with a v-neck t-shirt, is what I'm saying. I have a smooth profile, nothing weird and lumpy going on. However, the band seems a little on the stretchy side: I really haven't had this bra for very long and already I'm using the middle hook. It might be because my band measurement is kind of in between sizes, 31.5 last ...time I checked. Usually I end up trying on a 30 band as well as a 32 band to cover all my bases. While it fits enough to say "Okay this here bra is pretty comfy" I think the widths of the underwires may be a tiny bit too narrow. I've got some wide-set breasts, and I get a tiny bit of tightness/discomfort towards the outer edges of the wires heading up towards my armpits. But I haven't had this bra for very long, so maybe I just need to break it in. I'll give it some more time, but I might update this later with additional thoughts and change the "does it fit?" portion accordingly. In conclusion, this is a good all purpose bra, but if you have breast that are bottom-heavy, spread apart and with a wide root, you may want to proceed with caution.
[ETA]: The bra is definitely too small now. I don't think it was a matter of the cups being too narrow, I think it was basically the cups were too small and shallow. This is a good basic bra though. Read more 185 more words
Weirdly constructed. The cup depth is next to normal if you measure from side to side, but if you measure from bottom to top it turns out to be ridiculously deep. I guess it is designed for larger breasts, and when sizing it down for smaller breasts they just came up with a wrong construction. Smaller breasts are usually shallower. Thus, if you just resize bigger cups into a smaller volume but with exactly the same shape, it will never work.
Although this bra is technically the wrong size for me, I actually like it quite a bit. The band is too big, but since it is not very stretchy, I can wear it on the tightest hook quite comfortably. If they made 30 bands I think it would actually be a pretty darn good fit. A 28 in this bra (if it existed) might actually be too tight for me even though I measure 27". The one thing I will say is that the cups are pretty stiff. They don't squish my breasts out of shape quite as much as a push up would, but they don't have much give so they do kind of force you to conform to its shape. Either way, I wear this bra fairly often even though it is the wrong size. Looks great under clothes. Should also add that you can convert the straps to cross in the back which is I feature I love, especially when I wear racerback type shirts.
I have a 28" ribcage and 36" bust, so technically measure a 28G/28FF (us/uk) but I generally prefer 30" bands, due to a bony ribcage. A friend recommended I buy this bra in 32F, based on her experience. Overall, it's *pretty" comfy. One of the cups (right) seems a little wide and the strap tends to dig on that side. I don't know how to adjust for that, so it's frustrating. I only notice it after a few hours of wear.
Looks fabulous under just about everything. Straps never slip. and nothing pops out. Not the most glamorous undergarment you'll own, but it's a fantastic utilitarian t-shirt bra. Wears well, no puckering and very little stretch. It will feel tight for the first few wearings, but it breaks in.
This is a handy "scooper" bra that keeps my migrating-to-the-armpit bosoms up-front and perky. It's a bit of a minimizer. It's almost supportive enough to be a sports bra.
Absolutely no shoulder-slippage in the straps, sturdy, attractive enough that I feel sexy enough for every day. Three hooks in back, so not too thin and doesn't cause much of a back-mark.
The only comfort issue is the nice support under the arm - sometimes it chafes on me over a full day. But othersiwe, very comfortable.
Very, very well-made and has held up over many washings. Haven't noticed much stretching.
In the store the bra fitted me well but that was 3 months ago except for the fact that the center never layed flat on the sternum. I found it online for a cheaper price and waited two months to get it. In that process I lost an inch around my under the chest. Under a strapless dress it looks ok but in reality I have a gap in the bottom and in the top. I am afraid that is not cost-effective to have a strapless that with my current situation I of me loosing inches it will be useless for me in a few months. ...For the price I expected to use it several times a year and not have the situation that I had which was gaping on top and not filling the bottom. Ironicly it stayed but for the hour that I had it on around my house no need to readjusted. I will tried in a smaller band size if I still confront problems I am ditching this strapless. FYI the band of this strapless runs small.
The quality of the bra is really great. Is molded and has a silicone band to prevent slips. Read more 92 more words
The cups seem like they were designed with a much wider woman in mind. they are wider on the outer side of the cup,. They makes me feel like my boobs are wider than my ribcage. While at the same time my only cleavage is from my breasts over-spilling the cups.
The no9 bra is supposed to be made for augmented breasts, but this bra does a poor job of fitting properly. The band stretches way too quickly. The straps are cute, but placed too far out on the cups. The lace overlay is pretty and the lilac color is great. Overall, not a recommended bra.
Lovely shape!!
