The 30D cut into my boobs creating quite a quad-boob though fitting well elsewhere, so I exchanged for a 30DD. The center gore/little sheer piece seems like it must be too wide, or the cups are just cut very widely or something. I can't fill the bottom of the cups, I guess, as they wrinkle badly very quickly. They are also too wide and have empty space on the sides going almost under my arms. Weirdly enough, they also still cut into my breasts at the top of the cups and I still have quad-boob. Shortening the straps didn't fix the wrinkling at the bottom of the cups. I think it's exacerbated by the thinness and light materials used for the cups. The fabric of the cups is not padded but rather very thinly lined, and the entire bra is very lightweight and comfortable mesh fabric. I really wish it fit me.
I have had surgical correction of Pectus Excavatum and still have a mild indentation remaining, so I am a uniquely difficult torso to fit. Gores almost never sit flat and this bra was no exception. The wires seemed wide enough, but still sat a little below my breast tissue, maybe because the gore is a tad bit too wide for my wide root, shallow breasts. As long as I don't scoop and swoop, I can get away with it, though. Even though this bra is slightly off in several ways for my shape and by those measurements, it's not a good fit, it is pliable enough that it ...conforms to me with no gapping and creates a smooth silhouette. And it's super soft! The band is unexpectedly short for a 30, although I have not worn it to see if it stretches out over time. The fabric is very delicate and for $68 retail, I would worry that it won't last long enough to be worth the money. For example, the shoulder strap is sewn only to the top elastic of the back band, not all the way to the bottom, so over time, the pressure may rip the lace (although that lace does feel pretty sturdy). The bra is well made out of quality materials, they just seem to be delicate quality materials. I will be returning this bra due to price (not fit!), but I used it as a pattern to remake the band of one of my existing bras.
Pros: soft and pliable enough to accommodate breasts that don't quite fit perfectly, but still look smooth, pretty, feminine and delicate, very comfortable, no escaping when I lean over or twist.
Cons: pricey for a not-so-sturdy bra Read more 179 more words
When I tried it on the day it got here, it seemed okay aside from the quadboobing on my bigger side. But I wore it to work the next day (my job requires me to move around a lot) and it was torture. The straps, band, and tops of the cups on the armpit side all felt like they were trying to slice my skin open. It was the worst a bra has ever irritated my skin. I couldn't wait to just fling the thing off when I got home. I don't know if it's just the way it's made or what, but this bra does NOT agree with my body.
This bra is the most comfortable of all my new bras using my new sizing. It's very pretty, smooth under clothing, and actually has a nice plunge silhouette that looks nice under low cut tops. This bra also has a slight minimizing effect, which I like. I if you don't want that, get a cup size bigger. I measure in at a 32DDDD/F/G, but when I try on Natori I prefer the 32DDD/E.
Very comfortable. This is my go-to, everyday bra. Creates a nice, smooth line under thin fabrics. I can get by with either a D or a DD cup in this bra style, but prefer the DD when I'm a few pounds heavier and the D when my weight is a bit lower.
The band on this does stretch quite a bit, so I'd be interested to try a larger cup size on a 30 band in this style. An older version of this bra that I had developed an issue with the material at the top of the cups rolling outwards after numerous washings, due to the padding ...not really being stitched to the covering material at the top of the cups. They seem to have fixed this issue now with a small, smooth seam at the top of the cup. (You have to look at the inside of the cup to see it, as it is invisible from the front.)
It's not the most exciting, romantic bra in the world, but it is great for discreet, comfortable support that you can wear all day. Read more 76 more words
This fits better than any of my other bras, but that might not be saying much since I just moved away from the smallest bras VS could offer, in favor of actual bras that fit! This seems to fit fine but I do need to readjust throughout the day. The back of the band rides up slightly on me (I have a 27" under bust measurement). The cups fit well, which is great because usually if the wire goes all the way around my wider breasts, the cups aren't filled in the center or the top.
All in all, I can wear this bra most of the day comfortably. I usually take it off when I get home though because I don't want to wear it longer than 8-10 hours typically.
Very comfortable and flattering bra. Not the most lift ever, but I don't always want them hoisted to the sky. Lace pattern apparent under tight shirts. I have this in 2 colorways.
This bra fit snugly around the band but doesn't fit at all in the gore. The gore sits on top of my boobs, which are pushed together underneath. The straps are very comfortable and I feel like I have good support despite the lack of gore fit. Nonetheless, I am going to return it and look for a better fit -- probably starting with a step up in cup-size.
This bra is nice under a t-shirt, but it doesn't do much to 'shape' the breasts. It's very pretty and comfortable, but doesn't do much enhancement. Natori Feathers Contour Plunge (730023)
I love the feel of this bra and it ALMOST fits. The band is too large, but the cup is only fractionally off-- I suspect that Natori's just don't work for me.
This is the best-fitting bra I own, by far. It's great for my shallow, wide boobs. It's the only bra I own where the top edge of the cup doesn't make a visible ridge under clothing. The only thing I don't love is that the band bites in a bit; I prefer firmer bands because they don't do that. But I'll happily put up with that given how much I love the rest of the bra.
The wires tend to sit too low under my boobs, and the cup wrinkles on the bottom when I put them where they're supposed to go. Furthermore, the underwire doesn't span the entire cup, and it's much too short on the outside. The outside of the wire pokes my sides which is painful after extended periods of wear. The wire is wider and shallower than it needs to be to fit my boobs.
Pros: provides wonderfully sturdy support and controls your breasts during active wear; ultra cute for a sports bra; option of racerback or straightback straps (bc the straps are on adjustable invisible hooks). Cons: cuts into your shoulders when in straight back strap set up; fine when racerback.
The bra feels nice at first, but after a while, the underwire started digging in a bit at the side. This might be because the cup is a bit small, so this bra might fit a 30C better.

Oh how I wish I was still in the Natori Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) range! This bra is awesome - it has a low center gore and a flexible top edge, so it's great for a tall root. It's nude colored and while lacy, it doesn't show under even thin tops. So sad they don't make it in larger cups. =(
