This bra seems to run small in both cup and band size.

Updated on Mar 24, 2024 Flag this

Very comfortable. Buttery soft fabric on inside and outside of cups. Straps are a soft stretch lace, not scratchy at all. Band feels good. Only the most minimal amount of empty space in the top of right cup (my right breast is smaller) but no wrinkling or puckering of bra cup. Underwires are nice and wide and don't dig in at all. I also like that this style is more shallow and not too projected. My only complaint is that the cut of the bra pushes my boobs more out to the sides than is natural for me, but it's not that bad. For this comfort and fit I can live with sideways-pushed boobs.

I feel like I’m getting closer to my true size. This bra has cups shaped appropriately for my breasts with just a little extra room on the outside edges. The band is definitely tighter than I’d prefer and the top of the bra/strap lace is rough on my skin. I’ll need to try an extension for the band. Not sure yet whether I’ll keep it.

The bra that convinced me I’m on the right track after getting my new measurements and sizing (30 F in UK). The band made audible stretching noises when I fastened it, and felt tighter than is comfortable. The cups wrinkled at the top and in the center of each cup. All this could have been overlooked if the edge of the cups didn’t dig into my underarm area. I ordered online and will be returning this one, but willing to try a sister size!

This is a great basic bra for under tees and with low necklines. Is great for those with wide shallow breasts. It has good coverage and comes in a bunch of different colors. The band is comfortable and runs true but the cups run small for the size. I've had this for over a year and it washes well.

I think the cup size is too big for me. I don't like the shape on me at all. Very soft comfy, stretchy band and cups. Gaping at the top.

So soft, flexible, extremely comfortable! This feels like wearing a cloud, in the best way possible. The cups can stretch to your shape, to an extent, but I think it's probably not ideal for FOT or very projected shapes. My boobs are rounded, even fullness w/ immediate projection, slightly narrow, average projection.

However, the band runs loose. I often find other size 30 bras to be too tight. It's because the lace material the band is made of is way too stretchy, and has too much give to it. Also, weirdly enough, the hook panel itself is made of a stretchy material. Using the outer hook causes the straps to be too far apart on the shoulders. The inner hooks improves these problems but it's still not going to give you a snug fit because it's so stretchy. I've decided to just treat this bra as a light/medium support comfort bra.

The Natori Streamline Scoop Contour Underwire Bra is light and comfortable. It has mesh wings and a mesh cup overlay. The plunge neckline would work well with low cut tops/dresses but cut across my breast tissue. I have tall roots so the cutting/quadboob effect may be unavoidable no matter the bra. The thin foam cups (3/16" thick) with underwire resulted in a smooth, rounded shape -- where quadboob wasn't a concern. On account of the seamless cups, the bra is supposed to work as a t-shirt/ contour bra. I could see this working under a t-shirt, but since the fit was off, I can't speak with 100% certainty. ... The front was bandless. On the 30DDD, the band has a soft elastic trim with a 2-row, 3-column nude metal hook-and-eye closure. From my understanding, smaller sizes might only have a 1-row, 3-column hook-and-eye closure. The straps are wide-set on the cups (narrow shoulders beware). The straps are also a tad shiny, and fully adjustable with delicate goldtone metal hardware. It's also hand-wash only. Overall, I loved this bra and would have kept it if it had not cut across my breast tissue.

I wish this fit, I've been wanting to try one for a while. I love the color, and Natori quality and softness is something! The materials and design are lovely. However, this bra and others have convinced me that I may in fact need an E cup. I have the same issue with this one that I've had with most of the ones I've reviewed as far as cup size - slight quad boob on the larger side. This might just be a thing with plunge styles. Based on this, I'm now wondering if my 34D - Wacoal » Embrace Lace Contour ... Bra (853291) actually fits or if I just convinced myself it did. SIGH.

The lace is beautiful. The band is snug and sits level, the gore tacks. I like that the wires are shorter than most of the other bras I've tried lately - no underarm poking or rubbing whatsoever. It's a gorgeous bra, just not quite right. I prefer a wider band in back, and with the slight quadding, I don’t love it.

This was recommended bra and Bratabase hit the nail on the head. For the first time, underwire is comfortable and a gore lies flat And the cups fit both the smaller and bigger breasts And support me because it's a molded cup. I previosly thought only a stretchy lace could fit both gals. My left breast perimeter is 10.5 while the right breast is 9.5
The color is a beautiful summer orange, not a Halloween orange.
My underarm fat is minimal but in some styles unsightly. This higher appex helps somehow and the fat doesn't look bad.
I just need to get used to how high up it is ... on the sides. Not uncomfortable. Just not what I am used to as this is my first bra in my correct size, 34F
Big plus: it holds a nice shape when I lay down.
Edit: turns out this bra is not comfortable for more than a couple hours. The lace bznd is scratchy and the sides are uncomfortable under the arms. It presses into my arms when I put my arms forward to type at my desk.

This is my favorite bra of all time! Fantastic for wide roots with short torso or full on bottom.

Like:
- I LOVE this bra - its pretty and its comfortable

Dislikes:
- It is obviously way too small (I was confused by the US/UK sizing)

I would LOVE a bra like this but in my size (when I figure that out...)

Updated on Jul 09, 2019 Flag this

I think this bra is a bit more shallow than I need, which makes it feel tight on me. It ends up kind of compressing my breasts a bit. There's a tiny bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup.

Overall, it's cute. It has a mesh layer on the outside as well as a mesh band, which may be a little itchy or uncomfortable for some. It wasn't my favorite.

So this was my first venture into finding a bra that actually fits. I have been wearing 40DDDs because I always just shopped for bras at department stores and gotten the largest cup they carry. According to my measurements I should be a 38H or maybe a 36HH (UK). My underbust is ~36-37", my bustline about 46-47" standing; I'm fairly even, a little full on the outside, very projected, and soft and pendulous after several years of breastfeeding. I *think* I have wide and maybe tall roots, but I'm still figuring this stuff out. If anyone has suggestions based on the fit of this bra, I would ... be all ears!

So after lurking here and on some bra blogs a bit, I set off to Nordstrom Rack to see what I could find. Mostly just Natoris and Wacoals and not many in any compatible size. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I did try this Pure Allure in 36H as well. I got it on, but the cups were definitely a little too tight with a little quadboob. This review is for the 40H in black, which is the only other one they had.

So the 40 inch band is definitely a little too large. I fastened it on the inmost hooks. It is very slightly scratchy, probably because I'm not used to the lace, but overall quite comfortable. The cups were very comfortable - so much nicer than being smashed in! They gave good coverage with minor wrinkling where the cups meet the straps, but I think they must still be a little small for me, because the gore almost tacked, but not completely. Mind, I'm used to the gore stretching right across the tops of my boobs, so it was still a big improvement for me. Also, the underwires were resting a little below my IMF. Another reviewer reported the same thing and felt this indicated the bra is built for a shallower breast, so that may be the issue there.

The bra design is simple, but cute with lightly molded padding covered by a mesh that is edged on top with silver and black scalloped lace and trimmed with gold accents. The same lace covers the elastic spanning the bottom of the band. The band is stretchy mesh and the straps are thin and fully adjustable. Neither the gore nor the band under the armpits was too high for me, so no uncomfortable poking or rubbing. There are no seams on the cup to show through a shirt, but I did notice the lace showing through my tank top a bit. Not enough to bother me. One thing that surprised me is how jiggly it is. Or rather, how jiggly I am in it. More so than in my old bra. I am thinking it is because the cups are holding my breasts up more, but not squashing the life out of them. Perhaps a tighter band would also help.

Even though The Pure Allure was not a perfect fit, I was still excited to get an idea of what a better fitting bra could be. And it was sooooooo much better than the stupid 40DDD Bali I've been wearing that is all stretched out and has a wire poking out of the outer seam that I bought it anyway. However, upon further reflection and finding a less-worn 40DDD in a drawer, I have decided to return it and make do for a couple more weeks until I can find one that really, really fits.

Incredibly smooth and soft! Unfortunately something about it felt "off", my breasts felt like they were being forced to be shallower than they actually are. Very nice and smooth under thin silk shirts.

Surprised to see no reviews on this bra yet! I found this one on Poshmark while struggling to find a bright red bra to match some lacy underwear I adore. This was the 3rd bra I purchased, and out of all of them this is the one that fit me perfectly! The design on the bra itself is gorgeous so I thought to myself that even if it didn't fit I'd still have to try some way to make it work. Thankfully that's not going to be the case!
The band fits snug on me on the middle hook. The underwire is great, not too close-set or narrow for ... my wide-set breasts .The cups are the perfect depth for me as I have conical breasts and find I do best with a less projected cup. I think the fit is so great it actually gives my breast lift and makes them look perkier!
There's also a side support panel that I don't really need having the small breasts that I do, but it does certainly make me feel snug.
I'm writing this after having barely tried the bra on for more than 10 minutes, so I'll have to give an update if I notice anything going awry. Hoping for the best!
Edit: Wore the bra out for a day, didn't sit perfectly on my IMF but could be just because the band isn't perfectly snug.

Overall this is my best fitting bra atm. The cups definitely come up too high for me but the material is soft and fairly forgiving so it’s not too awful. The length of the wires seems good but are slightly more U shaped than I am. I love that the band is a bit wider and has three hooks on the closures.

Updated on Feb 01, 2019 Flag this

Oh-So-Soft Cups!!! Such comfortable fabric! Not sure what they used for the padding; feels more substantial than spacer fabric, but thinner than Memory Foam and more pliable than typical Contour Cups. Plus, the lace across the top lays nicely flat and doesn't show under a thin top.

*Unfortunately the shape is wrong for me. Cups are nicely rounded (especially from profile angle) but are also very East/West. Distance between apexes is much too wide, flattening me out in the middle. No cleavage whatsoever! With proper Swoop & Scoop I was able to fill the top and bottom of the cups fine. Cups feel tall on my short torso.
*Gore ... is too wide on me and doesn't lay flat at the top of the wire.
* Outer wires reach too far under my arms.
* Band is made with a very fine gauge microfiber on the outside and an inner mesh liner. Thin, flocked elastic on the edges. The strength of the elastic matches the strength of the band, making the whole thing quite comfortable, if not maybe short-lived.
*Straps are 1/2" wide and quite stretchy. Comfortable, but feel like they'd be short-lived as well.

I thought this bra was a nice fit at first but then realized I had the straps adjusted as short as they go - and still not feeling tight! I rarely run into this problem. It's a convertible bra so those tend to have long straps but I have a few that work. These are only half adjustable. The band is also a looser 32.

These things might be ok but the bra became more uncomfortable as the day went on, probably from being on the small shallow side.

It's a lovely modal material. Soft and casual look and feel, but one day of wear and it soaked up all my sweat and stained - no thanks!
