I usually wear a 30F in Parfait by Affinitas. I was in immediate need of more bras since going from a D to a G (in US sizing) and needed a nude bra for an event. I went to one of the bra boutiques in my area and saw this bra, which I used to have in a 32D. Since none of the other nude bras in my size at the boutique were giving me a nice shape, I decided to cut my losses and go with this one.

The band is understandably loose and the gore doesn't sit flat against my sternum. The first one of this bra in a 32G was of awful quality. One of the underwires popped out by the gore after it's second wear. The boutique owner sent it to Natori and it was quickly replaced in less than 2 weeks. I have had the replacement since October and have had no further issues.

Why do I keep buying bras with band size 32? (Because they're beautiful and almost-perfect.) Having purchased several bras last week, the majority of which arrived this morning, I've reached the conclusion that I really can't get away with wearing bras of this size anymore, despite what Bratabase says when I put in my measurements.

First, the good things. This bra is beautiful in color and detail, with lace in all my favorite places. It is very soft, and the wider/shallower cups seem to be well-suited to my breast shape.

Unfortunately, the straps on this bra are just too darn wideset, to the point of digging into the connective tissue ... between my arms and breasts and causing pain. I am pretty sure that this is due to the bra's band being too large for me, based on the fact that I don't run into this problem with the bras I've tried with 28 or 30 bands. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for this bra in a 30DDD/E, but I think I may have to pass on this one for now.

Thank you, Love4Pollinators, for the fast shipping and high-quality bra. Unfortunately, I just jumped too quickly and should have waited for the same bra in a different size. Please don't be offended if I re-list!

Spilling out in the center, wrinkling at the straps. The underwire wants to sit well below my IMF. I think all of that means the cups are too shallow for me. The lace overlay does help disguise some of the issues, but not enough for me to make it work. I'm not sure why a 32 was recommended for me. Supposedly it runs small, but the band is stretchy and too big for me.

Give it a try! This bra gives me a subtle amount of cleave-adjacent shape, which is odd for my low, kinda wide-set shape. The lace layer has a smoothing effect, which is nice. It's a bit of a delicate thing, though. Try not to yank on the band or stretch it too far. I damaged mine due to adjusting while sweaty and angry. Still, my #1 favourite right now.

I tried this in 30D because 30C was just a bit too shallow for me. The cup is overall too big in this size, but it is still just the smallest bit too shallow, despite all the gaps I have inside the cup and the wrinkling mesh I get at the top. 30C is a much better fit for me, but not quite the right shape I'm afraid.

Feathers is ideal for very broad and shallow breasts.

As a note, the lace detailing on this nude 30D is very different from the graphite 30C. So, the style does vary.

I honestly don't know what to think about this bra. I mean, I think it's absolutely beautiful. And it is very comfortable (except the underwire -- it kinda digs at my ribs a little), with super soft lace everywhere, and I love how low cut it is for certain tops. But it seems to be a bit too shallow for me, causing some quadding; and it doesn't feel particularly supportive. It feels sort of... loose. Like I'm hanging out of it more than I actually am, and it definitely allows some jiggle. I can't decide if I hate that or kinda like it. For how expensive it is, ... it seems fairly flimsy and delicately stretchy all over (which makes it feel like it's moving out of place sometimes), and I worry about how long it will last. Particularly the band.

I'm considering sizing up in the cup to see if it solves my coverage/quadding issue, since I am fairly projected on bottom, but I'm hesitant because the wires are the perfect width for my broad roots in this size. I'm also hesitant to write this off and return it because it's so darn pretty and I can wear it with the tops that don't work with other bras.

The rumors are true -- this is definitely for those who are broad-rooted and shallow. It also has great side support (which I LOVE), but basically none in the center (which feels like a combination of sexy and awkward).

Yeah. I'm torn about this one. I both love it and am angry with it. Take that as you will.

Particular frustration: I measured both cups and one is 0.3" deeper than the other. Which would actually be awesome for me if those cups were switched. The shallower cup is on my larger breast. Argh.

I am tall, with low, wide, shallow, widely spaced, FOB breasts and a promient sternum. This bra felt awesome from the second I put it on! I have sensitive skin, so the band feels a little scratchy, but I'm hoping that that will go away with a wash. The cups feel exactly right. I am normally a 32/34 D/DD (all combinations depending on brand, but I lean towards a 32 band and just wear bra extenders til the bands are stretched out) and this fits exactly how I want it to. This is my first Natori bra and I'm definitely going to explore more from this brand!

I bought this bra in both 32DD and 32DDD, and both seem to fit pretty well. I'm almost, but not quite, quadding in the DD, and not quite filling out the DDD, so I guess I'll wait and see how the migration goes. Not really a fan of the lacy band, but I really love the shape this bra gives me. The wires are wide and comfortable, and the super low gore is wonderful.

ETA: After a few wears, I'm beginning to think this may be a tad too shallow for me. I'm getting a tiny bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup and it's riding down a bit, so that the wires aren't truly in my IMF. Hrm.

Bratabase told me this bra would fit with "complete assurance" .. I was skeptical .. but it fits!! I'm so happy.

I bought it used but the band is still nice and tight. It's super comfy and cute. I finally see why everyone loves Natori Feathers! Why didn't I get one sooner?

Thanks everyone.

The legendary Natori Feathers...I finally went to Nordstrom to try my usual 30D, but the 32D is definitely the right size for me in this bra -- it's just the wrong shape and cut for me entirely. I wonder if there's a similar bra that isn't quite so shallow? I love the way it's made, with the stretchy mesh and lace overlaying the cups; it does wonderful things for fit, no gapping at all ever! Sigh. And so comfortable, such lovely details, but I feel like it makes my nipples point out toward opposite sides of the room and smooshes my boobs back under my armpits. Apparently I'm not as shallow-shaped as I thought. The never-ending bra journey....continues!
