  1. Lilly Rosette Balconette Bra (150304)

    30DD

    Fits

    Simple bra with a very cute print (in my opinion). Useful as t-shirt bra, although the print and the lining in front are slightly visible under tight and/or light-coloured tops. The fabric feels really soft on my skin. It doesn't irritate at all. The underwire is perfect for me, so that probably means it's pretty narrow. I also fill out the cups perfectly after scoop and swoop. The bands stretched a bit in the first few wears, but it has now stabilised and fits best on the middle hook.

    This is a cute and fun bra for days when you need a pop of color in your life. When I first saw this bra, I thought it would be too projected and deep for my shape, but it ended up fitting extraordinarily well. No quading or gaping and the band is comfortable while being snug. Gore tacks perfectly as well. Quality wise, the straps could be a little wider (they're pretty narrow) and it's not quite the quality of a Feya, Curvy Kate, or Panache, but overall well constructed.

    This was my first bra and it fit perfect but than my boobs start to grow and the cup became too small so that the wire poked me. I bought this bra in 30D and it's my favourite bra.

    Fits

    This is my most favourite bra. The band fits perfect on the first hook and it doesn't move a bit over day. It is so comfy that I sometimes forget about it. The cup is padded but smooth so that little fitting issues are invisible. I used to wear that bra in 30C but the wire startet to poke my breast though the cup seemed proper. A consultant gave me the advise to try on 30D and the cup seemes to be the same ecxept of the wire width. Now I don't have any issues with this bra and wear it the most time.
    The bra is very good for women who need wide wires and shallow cups.

    30GG

    Didn't fit

    Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, splayed, left-heavey by more than a cup size, like a tight band. Panache, Freya size 30GG

    Unsurprising, true balconette so the straps are too far apart.

    However, rather shallow immediate projection gives a bit of a shelf-like shape, good for a mamogram machine?...

    Really great quality materials. straps scalloped on the outside for fully adjustable no-slip straps.

    Band on the looser side I don't need an extender

    Construction: band is overlap seamed at center gore, unusual, but might dig in a bit on the diaphram depending on body shape.

    very nice firm and comfortable wires nicely narrow!

    I think It would work but for the projection.

    It is too bad, but I can't justify keeping it.

    only great fitting bra I have so far, it's very pretty on but I'm not crazy about the shape it gives me under clothing--I prefer a more natural shape. Also cannot be worn under much except bulky fabrics because of the lace and embroidery.

    update 9/12/16-- bra no longer fits. Too small and underwire digging in on sides. Not even worn https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. Might list it, other people seem to like this bra but it just didn't work well for me even when it did fit.

    Magenta has always attracted me and I really wanted this bra to work. Despite its cups running large for the size they are still too small for me. The band is stretchy lace, straps simple and thin. Cups are moulded lightly padded.

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra in a swap and I think it's very pretty, reminds me a lot of the old Elle Macpherson bra called Cloud Swing in that it has a large allover lace pattern with a very utilitarian stretchy ribbon band in another colour. I wanted to love this bra but it's a thoroughly mediocre fit for me. Before I received it sounded like it would be wide and shallow (which it is) with a tight band - the band to me is very true to most 30s which was a relief as it's not too tight after all.
    The thing that makes the fit for ... me a little odd is that the bra is reasonably open on top and my breasts fill it for the mostpart eg near the gore and centre of the cups, but each cup has almost excess fabric where the cup meets the straps which kind of flares out a bit in a weird way. If you were full on top it would probably not be so obvious, although as long as I wear a reasonably loose top (which is pretty much all I wear tbh!) it's not visible under clothes and doesn't really hinder the fit, it's just a bit odd. The straps are fully adjustable which is good but rather thin which isn't my preference. The structure is quite rigid and reasonably padded but as it's not a smooth cup it has a fairly prominent seam up the front centre of each cup (I would imagine this would become less prominent with wearing/washing as it softens and moulds to your body) - as a result I wouldn't wear this to work as too visible but prefer to wear non-padded outside of work - so as a result I've only worn it once so far and can't really see when I'd wear it again as it's just such an average fit for me. Prob will list soon.

  12. Lilly Moulded Balconette Bra (150304)

    I love this bra! I never thought I'd say that about a molded bra. It does what I want a molded bra to do: makes my boobs look big, round, and even, but it's more comfortable than other ones I've tried. The one comfort issue is that the straps are set quite far apart and they do rub on my arms.

    Fabric is very soft and smooth. The shape is more half cup-like so it's great for short girls like me who usually find that molded bras are way too tall in the cups. The shape could be considered a little low and east-west, but it doesn't bother me.

    This bra's band fits me perfectly (not too loose, not too tight) but even though it is a 30 band, it feels possibly like a 28? At least compared to my other 30 band bras (which are all a bit too big in the band). This bra is generally comfortable, and I think the cups fit well if I swoop & scoop (there is some gaping at the top when I don't). It's a very high quality bra. The cups are a bit on the pointier side, but not too bad. Under clothes, you look very perky and I am used to a rounder look. The cups are soft but lined, and there is fairly light padding in the form of cookies that are removable. The straps are pretty wide apart, but it doesn't bother me too much.

  14. Nightingale Padded Plunge Bra (19117)

    I love this bra. I had it in a 30b which was way too small. I finally tracked it down in a 30dd and I'm in love with the fit. I am not a pink person, but I love the color, the embroidery, and the little purple stone in the middle. The band feels quite tight.

    Updated on Dec 10, 2014 Flag this


    • It's really original/pretty. It almost looks like Asian design. This pink is so light that it's barely pink. The stone in the middle look clear or like a pearl.
      :)

    • Oh, dear, that is such a pretty bra it makes me sad - I've never been able to fit something like that! Great for you!

    This bra was too shallow for me, and the band was too stretchy. I made a reversible band alteration and found it to only make it seem too small and much too shallow for me.

    Runs small in the band. I pretty much always wear 30 bands, but sometimes size down to a 28 in stretchier brands. In my next Lepel order, I will probably sister size to a 32 depending on how quickly the band stretches. At the moment, I can't fasten it without an extender, but I just barely can't fasten it.

    The straps are VERY stretchy, so at first wear they are adjusted nearly as small as they can go. With extended wear I will probably have to shorten them.

    The wires are tall and narrow - which I love. They suit my narrow breasts perfectly. They come up ... high under the arms, and actually encase my breast tissue with no empty cup on the sides, which almost never happens.

    Due to my center heaviness, the seam on the top of the cup cuts into my boobs a bit, but this is a common problem for me. I will have to wear it for a full day to see how significant this issue becomes, but most likely will alter the top of the bra to give myself a little more room in the center.

    The overall construction of the bra IS really nice though. It's stretch lace, so while it appears to be quite shallow out of the box, it accommodates very well. I feel like this may be similar to Panache Andorra, but with a bit more room at the bottom of the cup, because Andorra gave me pancake boobs, and this bra gives a much more natural shape.

    I'll have to wear this one a bit to see how it plays out after a full day of wear, but right now my impression is this one will be filed under "comfy bra" - this is one of those bras I can see throwing on for a lazy saturday afternoon on the couch. It's very cozy, but still has some nice style.

    I actually selected the pale blue color because it was the most inexpensive, but it's a lot prettier than I expected it to be. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    This bra works well for shallow breasts. The cups gap for me since I am between cup sizes (B/C). The lace is thick enough to show through tight tops. The bra itself is fairly comfortable, but there was some itching where the straps meet the bra and where the hooks are attached to the band. I might just have sensitive skin though. Wearing this bra until I find more in my size.

    This is my first well-fitting bra after I found out that my old 32Bs are way wrong for me. I had read that it was good for shallow breasts, and I agree with that. Mine fill the cup out well. I also have wide roots, and the underwire is a great width for me. I wear it on the middle hook because the band rides up a bit on the loosest one. I probably could have used a 28, but it's definitely wearable. However, the straps are too wide for me and get uncomfortable. I'm sure I'll have that problem with a lot of bras though.

    It's a ... pretty bra. I have the mint green version. I would have preferred another color, but I found this one cheap on ebay so it doesn't matter to me that much. The lace and seems are sort of visible under tight clothing, but not enough for me to not wear it that way. Overall, it's a good fit for me, especially compared to my old ones!

    EDIT:
    I have realized that this bra is definitely too small for me. Probably just too shallow. Swooping and scooping pulls my boobs right out of the middle of the bra, and I have to tuck them back in. I'll keep wearing it because the lace along the top hides quadboobing pretty well.

    Overall a pretty good fit for my wide and shallow breasts. I like that it's very flattering in appearance because of the style lines and low front, but it's not the most comfortable bra. I find that my breast tissue tends to escape out of the sides over the course of the day (leaving me a somewhat empty front-cup area). When I readjust the tissue back into the bra, it's fine until enough movement puts it back out the side. It's definitely not an issue of size- I think it's just not shaped properly for wide-set breasts.

    Didn't fit

    OK, I honestly thought this was going to be the holy grail of bras for me. Everyone talked about how much they love it, and how it was perfect for shallow cups, wide roots, close breasts, etc etc.

    Then I got it and tried it on. I don't know if my tissue just needs some serious migration, if my root is just naturally super wide or what...but the wires in the side of this actually dig into my breasts. Not horribly, but enough to make it a bit uncomfortable.

    Likewise, the wires at the center gore are too far apart for my close set breasts, leaving wire marks on the ... tissue. Which brings me to my next beef...this is supposed to be a plunge bra, but on my 32FF's, it isn't very...plunge-y. I suppose my breasts aren't QUITE shallow enough for it either, because the center gore refuses to tack.

    Perhaps the weirdest thing about this bra is the shape it gives me. It seems to push my breast tissue up from the sides and bottom right up to the middle, creating a weird, forced conical shape. Which is not at all what it looked like on the other pictures put up on here. Perhaps this bra is better suited for smaller sizes.
