I got this in black and nude, and it is really *really* comfortable, though quite basic which I needed. No poking, no boob escaping, and despite being a t-shirt bra, it doesn't make things...sweaty...just by wearing. The material is soft, so it may stretch in the band a bit over time, I'll just have to wait and see. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is fairly similar to the other Natori styles that I own, very comfortable, though if you don't need wide wires like I do this one is probably not going to be a good fit.
I got this bra used and it felt soft, worn and very comfortable! The band was pretty stretchy and the cup cut into my breast tissue, but it's a great shape for shallow breasts and true to size. I would LOVE this in a 30D or 30DD! Maybe it'll go on sale at Nordy's soon!
Hey animated , was just looking at this page since I'm thinking about ordering one myself and saw your comment about hoping it'll go on sale. I see that your review was from 6 months ago so I'm not sure if you're still interested, but if so, thought I'd let you know that it's available on Amazon for $36.60 + free shipping in both 30D and 30DD. Not the deal of a lifetime but still better than the usual $50!
You are so sweet! Thank you for letting me know about this! I might end up going for that, after I check my bank account! Lol
This bra is lovely. The fabric is soft and high in quality. It doesn't fit me at all. I can fit just fine in a Wacoal 34H, but this brand... I've never been able to wear Natori. I think this Natori in an H cup runs more like a DDD in Wacoal or Chantelle. I also think their bands run quite stretchy, so this 34 isn't tight at all. Basically, I can only get this bra around my breasts as a kind of sling. When I swoop and scoop, I have to hold my boobs up in order to show how bad the quad boob is when I ...do that. But my boobs don't stay up in this one, they just fall back down, and the band stretches right back out. Also, I think my boobs are too far apart for Natori bras. So many bra shopping problems would be solved if Natori worked for me, as this brand is easy to find in so many American department stores. Also, the straps are close together and don't fall off! That would be another problem solved.
Regarding "comfort" and "bra appearance," I'm not entirely sure whether I'm supposed to give a sort of overall assessment. The bra is not comfortable and looks very bad on me because it doesn't fit. If it did fit, I'd check excellent on both counts.
Also, I guess bratabase will tell me if my measurements are off, but just in case: I measured this bra down to the lace, which lengthens both the center gore length and the wings. The lace part is not sturdy bra band material, but sort a sheer tulle fabric. Not at all scratchy as I've found bras in similar styles, though.
The band on this one was too tight and the straps too wide. Because of the tightness I couldn't determine whether the gore was comfortable or not. But the wires are just wide enough and the cups fit well although there is a tiny gap at the top due to the wide straps.
Very pretty, I love orange, so this is a nice one! It is really just so shallow though, and because of that, it is bigger than my face. I need some depth! I have decided to keep it though do to it's amazing comfort, and the orange, as well as it is changeable to a racer back! I'm going to do some sewing to it though, try and remove some of the excess as it shows under any shirt that isn't up to your throat! If it ends badly oh well. You win some you lose some. But really, this is the most comfortable bra I have tried on, it's just not pretty under clothes!
This bra has substantial straps and is full coverage, basic but nice and I love the fit. As with the other Natori bra, the material is soft so it may stretch a bit over time in the band, I'll just have to wait and see. Also good material in warm weather.
The band of this bra is pretty wide and I felt like it hit a weird spot for me, creating an unnatural line under my clothing. Also when adjusting the straps, the clasps ended up right at the top of my shoulder, creating bumps under clothing.
The straps of this bra are so versatile. They are adjustable the entire length of the strap and the bra is convertible. I like that the center fabric (gore) is clear. Unfortunately this bra does not fit me well so it's going back.
I got this bra in my early forays into non-standard-department-store sizing, but never ended up liking it. I now realize that it's simply too big; gaps quite a lot at the top of the cup. Seems to me that the cup runs somewhat big, as most 32DDDs fit me well, or are even a bit too small. The band also seems to run a little tight compared at least to Wacoal bras. Otherwise the bra is nice. It's very comfortable with enough padding to mask nipples, but not so much that it changes appearance much, and the cups are soft and breathable. The straps flare out, presumably to be easier on your shoulders, but it's not a look I'm fond of.
It's a beautiful bra but I'm guessing the cups might run a little small. It's wonderfully comfortable and super adorable and I'm so sad the cups are too small for me.
Edit: After a little more experience, I'd say it would be better for someone with a shallower shape.
This bra fits me wonderfully. The underwire and gore are very comfortable and the band is not too stretchy (I'm more of a 30 band when the material stretches) but not stiff either. The lace does show under a tighter t-shirt but I usually wear an undershirt so that shouldn't be a problem. It seems like this would be a great everyday bra!
This is another instance in which it is the best sports bra I've ever owned, but the more I learn about fit, etc. the more I suspect that it doesn't fit particularly well. The elastic at the bottom of the band has a tendency to fold under, and the underwire doesn't really touch my ribcage anywhere except on the outer side of my breasts. This leaves space for sweat, which is especially bad given the purpose of the bra. It does at least keep my breasts separate, helping avoid the dreading uniboob situation. The construction of the bra is solid, the fabric is comfortable, and it's quite supportive, so I can see it being a great bra for someone it fits properly.
This bra is the closest I've come to the perfect fitting bra.It is also really comfortable and looks smooth under a t-shirt. However, since I've hooked the band on the first hook, I know that it won't last and unfortunately I haven't found this bra in a 30 band yet.
Overall this bra was a good start to getting into a size that actually fits. For years I had been wearing a 36C, until I was suffering from neck/upper back pain and stumbled upon the A Bra That Fits reddit. I plugged in my measurements and was a 32F(?!). I decided to try a sister size 34E (DDD US), as I thought a 32 band would be too tight. After reading through the shallow bra recommendations I headed over to amazon to order this bra.
In my excitement I mistakenly ordered a 34DD instead of a 34DDD. The cups are too small, and especially after a fresh swoop and ...scoop there is some quad boobage. It did give me great cleavage initially. This did not last long however, as some of the excess tissue escapes out of the side of the cup and sits under the band. The cups also seemed a little to close for me,which caused the underwire to slide down a bit on my ribcage when the boobs would try to return to their naturally separate state.
The band is firm but does provide stretch, and it feels true to size. The straps are fully adjustable, which is needed for a short gal like me. Color is bright red, and bra looks nicer in person than pictured. Lies smoothly under clothing, and works well with V neck tops.
Bottom line is that it is not a perfect fit due to the small/close set cups, but much better than anything else I have at the moment. I am a bit shallow, so I think that this bra would probably not work well at all with someone who had a lot a projection. Obviously, if I had gotten the correct size, I think the fit would have been much better. Read more 191 more words
