Doesn't work for my shape. I have wide-set, full on bottom breasts, and the bra is trying to push them in and up. The gore "floats", and there is gaping at the top of the cups. Very visible even under thick T-shirts
I really like the look of this bra, but sadly it doesn't agree with my shape. My boobs don't fill out the whole cups, the bottom of the cups is flat against my body, yet the middle part of the cup seems too small for me. The band is nice and tight, fits well, but the cups are just not made for my shape.
Cute but a little flimsy. The band is very narrow and the wire casings are rather sharp. It ends up cutting into me under the boobs and on the breastbone by the end of the day.
Very comfortable except if you have slightly rounded shoulders as the straps seem to fall quite a bit. Also the main part of the strap is quite wide over the shoulder which gives good comfort but its wider than the adjusty bit at the back so it stops the straps being made shorter than a certain amount.
Left strap either feels tight or slips off shoulder easily (my left shoulder is higher than my right). The straps are quite wideset - they're situated nearer the armpits than I like.
The underwire cups my breasts comfortably, and the right-side underwire lies flat against my sternum, but the left-side underwire overlaps the right-side underwire slightly, and there is a small gap (about a finger's worth) between the centre gore (fabric panel) and my chest.
The cups are lightly padded. The left cup in particular does feel a teeny bit 'empty'/'gappy' (my left breast is smaller than my right) but the cup doesn't really wrinkle because of ...the light padding.
Back band quite comfortable; does not ride up. Front of the bra (the cups) does ride up slightly (~1 cm) during the day or when I lift my arms above my head. Not a great deal, but it does mean a bit of fidgeting, which is annoying.
All in all, not a bad fit, but I know it's not the right size for me (a 32C is somewhat better, and a 30D better still).
[Update March 2013: Given it to my mum to wear. Fits her better than her original 36A, but not as good as her fitted size of 32C.] Read more 103 more words
This was already reviewed by me in 32D, but I bought the 34C before I lost weight and thought that 34 backs were meant for 75cm underbusts (fitters' advice). It's clearly too big in the band for me, but I still wear it for comfort when I'm flying, etc.
I bought a bunch of these bras back when I thought 32 is the smallest band size in existence. The band felt tight in the fitting room, but soon became very loose with a few wears and washes. It gives a bit of an east-west look, and doesn't offer much in the way of support due to the lack of underwires. I do find it more comfortable to sleep or spend long hours in, which is why I bought them for my plane rides. The band does fold in on itself though, which causes some itching.
Only complaint is that the band runs very large and therefore causes boobs to fall out of the cups https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
This is one of my favourite bras. The cup size is slightly too small, but overall it is very comfortable and makes my breasts look better under clothes. The pattern is pretty also.
There's an elastic on the lace part of the bra, so it cuts into my full-on-top breasts. I guess if I cut the elastic, it won't cut in as much. The centre gore doesn't lie flat on the sternum, instead it sits on my breasts. Pinching the centre gore doesn't help either. There's a minor gaping going on in the left cup, the part near the centre gore. After swooping and scooping, there's an empty space on the bottom of the cup, and the elastic part on the lace cuts in even more.
The shape it gives under clothing though, is excellent. My breasts are lifted and it gives a smooth appearance. However, I'm still gonna return this bra.
This bra - it fits. Smooth line on the top (when not slouching and swoop/scooped properly), center gore tacks nicely, straps don't fall, band nice and snug. My problem with this bra is something I never would have considered - the ridge on the cup is just too thick. At a full 1/16" (roughly 2cm), it is clearly visible under my shirt even when my posture is perfect. Luckily, I like to wear low-cut shirts.
This bra does incredible things to my cleavage, and in the right low-cut shirt, the top of the molded cup isn't even noticeable. It's not an everyday bra, but a special one that I ...intend to hold on to!
Follow-up, weeks later: this bra doesn't fit. I really thought it did, but it doesn't. The ridge thickness that I thought was from the bra is just from it not fitting, and something about the band/straps is just wrong - I have back pain after wearing it for a whole day. Quadboobing and gaping are both problems. Doesn't fit, will still wear for special cleavage with the single shirt it doesn't show under. Read more 77 more words
This bra is quite tight for a 30 band. I've had it a couple of months now and it hasn't stretched at all. This could be due to the lace on the band being lined with a much stronger mesh. The cups are slightly too small for me but it isn't too noticeable as it's quite full coverage for a plunge. It's very comfortable to wear and looks good under clothes.
Red satin 3 part cup plunge bra. It's padded on the bottom parts only, and it's slightly big so it ends up giving me a ridge between the padded and unpadded parts that shows up under clothes. I'll be listing this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Look and feel: I really appreciate the tissue which is comfortable. Along the top of the bra it is not fixed at all, no elastic.
Fit: The width of straps is not enough for supporting comfortably https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The band is ok.
Conclusion: I appreciate this bra, it is a side support bra.
