    70E

    Didn't fit

    I was sold this bra at an expensive European only lingerie boutique when I first started looking for a bra that fit and did not trust myself to fit myself. It is the only lingerie store in my town selling bras outside the matrix. I was not educated enough when I went in. Although this EU70E (UK32DD) is a huge step up from my 36As, now that I do have bras that fit I am very unhappy with it and especially unhappy with the price I paid for it. I also just found out while adding this bra that EU E is the largest cup size sold by ... this brand, so they were just fitting me into what was available instead of what I needed.

    Fit issues: This bra is just too small. It isn't wide enough. I spill out of the sides. I quadboob out of the top. The gore doesn't tack (although it was way closer than anything I had ever seen up to that point). The cups aren't projected enough so they fold at the bottom. My very pronounced tail of spence sticks out of the sides in a more pronounced way in this bra than any other bra. It's better than anything I had before, but not worth what I paid for it.

    Construction issues: This is a convertible bra. You can convert it to a halter and a cross-back. This is pretty cool. Unfortunately, the little hooky things where you make it cross are constantly popping out of their loops, especially while I'm trying to put it on. It's very hard to reattach something at your shoulder blade. Additionally, there are these stupid little bows with beads on the tail that are very irritating right where the straps attach to the top of the cups. They stick out of sleeveless tops. The band is VERY stretchy.

    As a t-shirt style bra, I don't think it's worth the expense.

    65E

    Fits

    I bought this bra a couple of weeks ago without knowing the actual model name. After checking it on Marie Jo's web site I found out it's actually supposed to be a push-up bra with removable pads. Well, I can tell it's definitely this model by the looks of it (I know for sure it's Jane and it isn't any of the other Jane models) but it doesn't have any kind of padding. It doesn't push up either. I tried a cup size smaller but that created spillage so it can't be the size. Perhaps it has a wrong kind of a construction for my breasts to be a push-up bra, who knows.

    However, I like this model a lot. I wouldn't buy a push-up bra because I don't want my bras to give any cleavage or proportion. This is a nice model for me since it makes my breasts look very natural, as if I wouldn't have a bra at all. It's also very comfortable to wear.

    70E

    Bought this bra (and the same in blue) just before I found out it was the wrong size completely.

    I think it looks lovely, with very fine detailed embroidery and very pretty straps. The band is very stretchy and looks a bit thin to me now that I got used to the sturdiness of the bras from Ewa Michalak.

    Lovely looking bra. Beautiful deep dark blue color and fine embroidery. Pretty straps as well. Unfortunately completely the wrong size, but I only found out after the band was altered by the seamstress of the store, when the cups appeared to be too small. After that incident, I found out about the bra matrix. And as my true size is about 60G-60GG, it is safe to say that 70E does not fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

    The band is altered very nicely. It was shortened and a smooth black fabric has been sewed onto it, so that it is more comfortable to wear tight as it distributes the pressure along the whole band, instead of just the elastic rims. Before altering, the material of the band was a bit too thin and stretchy for my taste.

    This was my first bra that fit! The flower detail on the straps is kind of a pain as the last flower in the front is not tacked down at the bottom, and it can sort of flap around and it's worn more than the rest of the straps. The loops where the convertible straps connect to the bra have also worn harshly as the rubbing from them moving has begun to cut the loop.
    Most of the time this fits well, but sometimes it gaps at the top of the cups. It looks nice on, though. It gives me a nice round, full shape. I wear it on the middle set of hooks as the band is just sightly large. I wish it came in a 28, but this is scads better than the 34Bs I used to wear! Speaking of the band, it's quite wide and combined with the wide straps it kind of makes me feel like I'm wearing a very girly tank.

    Very comfortable, very flattering for shallower breasts. No pockets for insertable padding. Nice details make this work as an everyday bra, or a special occasion bra.

    Fantastic fit. Full coverage on the sides fixes my sideboob problems. Nice plunge, decent nipple padding, and convertible straps allow me to wear it with a wide variety of clothing.

    The straps however dig in and I added my own looser straps.

    This bra does not fit me, but I am writing a review for the listing.

    This would be a good bra for someone with shallow breasts, which I am not. I don't know if the problem is that the cup is just too shallow or if it is just generally too small, but I suspect the former. A normal scoop n' swoop spills quite a bit of breast tissue into the middle.

    The bra itself is of excellent quality. Everything is well-put together, finished nicely and the little lace details are very nice. This band runs tight and holds up well, as I have worn this bra quite a bit and it still doesn't stretch past 29".

    One great thing about this bra is that it has a wide band in the back with three hooks which is hardly ever seen on bras in this size. It feels very comfortable and stable on.

    I'm obsessed with this bra, it's probably my current favorite. There are only two minor, very forgivable problems: one is that the plunge isn't as deep as I'd hoped, so it prevents me from wearing very low-cut shirts/dresses, and the straps have a flower applique all the way up, which makes wearing this bra with thin-strapped items a no-go.

    This is such a pretty bra with the gingham check pattern and flowers on the strap. I think the cup size runs slightly small, probably best to try the next size up too. The band was snug at first but turned out to be stretchy.

  13. Jane Padded Bra (0101339)

    This bra is awesome. I've had a lot of trouble finding the perfect nude t-shirt bra (I love my deco's, but they are too light). This one is the right color, the cups fit right, and it's really comfortable.

    I got fitted into this bra at Intimacy. I was a little surprised that I only needed a 30d- I'm generally a 28f (dddd). But it fits. I had to start with the band on the middle hook, and after two months of breaking it in, I brought it in to have the band shortened.

    These pictures were taken shortly before I brought it in for alterations. Note that on the day I took these pictures, I actually was filling out my Deco 28f completely.

    I believe this bra was originally sized a 32C or 34B, but was altered by Intimacy to fit me. They stated I am a 30D.

    It is my favorite out of all the ones that I have. The cups do have pockets with pads inserted in them as it is sold as a push up bra. It is probably the most comfortable I have. That being said, I do feel the back is too stretchy. I don't wear it as much because it is my favorite and my go to "sexy" bra.

    65D

    Didn't fit

    Pros: Variety of sizes, Pretty!!, Straps are not embarrassing if they show

    Cons: Squeaks, chafing from silicone bead/mesh wings, stretched, permanent wrinkles in bottom of cups

    I purchased this bra in both black and beige at an Intimacy store for around $100-$120 per bra. I was sized a 30D in US sizes. The fitter actually stated depending on the "stretchiness" of the bra they would size down to a 28. She also stated I was really inbetween a C-D cup. They stated that this molded cup is a great shape for my breast and it fit well.

    Notes: Initially I noticed that the molded cup had a wrinkle in the bottom. ... The fitter stated this would come out with wear and it was from sitting in the drawer. Well it didn't. The wrinkles became worse. I'm not sure if it is because of the shape/weight of my breasts or exactly why. You only notice it if you touch the bottom of the cups with the bra on, or look inside the cups. It still looks great with clothes on.

    When first wearing, I was unsure of the material as the seams on the edges of the band have tighter elastic than the material between. I also noticed when moving around or taking deep breaths that you could hear a "squeaking" noise. My mother has the same bra in her size and has not noticed this problem.

    After a year of wear, I believe the band has stretched considerably. I have gained approx 10 lbs and the band is still too big. I'm not sure I would purchase this bra again.

    I think if I had one cup size bigger I would love this bra. It's my fault, I'm still nursing and I think I was completely empty when I went and picked it out! I'm hopeful that in a couple months it will fit better (I'm 5 mos postpartum and still losing the weight). The cups on this are Very comfortable and smooth, and I like the pretty subtle details. I put that I get quadraboob a bit, but it really is minimal. Total strap width is .75inches, but that's the total width - it's actually double straps. The straps are wide-set so it will work for a ... boat-neck shirt very well, but not a regular tank top. The band size fits me very well and the underwire doesn't poke under my arms. The bottom of the underwire is a bit uncomfortable, but I've learned that means I probably need a slightly bigger cup size!

    If I had to choose again I probably would not have purchased it, because it was not on sale and I had absolutely no intention of spending $130 on one bra (eek), but I was excited to go shopping for my first real bra after 3 kids and was focused on finding something comfortable and I spaced checking the prices :/ I am hopeful that it will fit better soon and I'll love it! In the meantime it's still comfortable enough to wear. I'll check back after I lose a bit more weight and see if it works better.

    The bra is so pretty. I fell in love with the textural gingham and the darling daisies. I think that the apexes are a bit east/west for me also the cups are too plungy for me and cause center spillage. The 30 band is a nice change from the 32 I've been wearing forever, but it is still super stretchy and so it moves around on me more than I like. I can easily fasten it on the tightest hook on first wear and it is not uncomfortable there.

    Very comfortable and fit my larger boob very well. There was slight gapping in the smaller one. The straps don't adjust all the way, but they are capable of turning into a halter strap. The flower detailing on the straps I could imagine become annoying though. The band does fit tight, but not too much (I usually wear 28s)

    Beautiful bra with removable push-up pads that let me balance out my uneven breasts nicely. The band size is a little too big, but I purchased at Intimacy and will have it altered when I can't use it on the tightest hook anymore.

    The band runs firm for a 30. The cups run a bit small, though it works well if you're a 'flatter' shape.

    I think that it's really cute, and it hasn't stretched much in wearing it. It's meant to just halter, but if you're shorter through the top of the torso, you will probably be able to racerback the bra as well. It has a silicone grippy on the inside of the band, so don't get this bra if you have an allergy.
