Got this from another user. The cups are lined with a cotton liner that is not how it came new. I'm guessing that at some point in it's life, a previous owner of this bra put pockets in the cups for breast inserts.
This bra feels really good. It is made well and has nice fabrics. The band is a bit looser than the Natori Feathers (which I found too tight) and has a fourth hook making it even longer. I do think it is still a bit shallow for me but not as shallow as the Natori Feathers.
This bra initially seemed like it fit, but unfortunately the band is just too big for me and the cups are too small. It seemed workable at first, but it looks like Natori doesn’t make this bra in a shape and size that would fit me anymore.
This bra is theoretically identical to one I have in another colorway (passionfruit) but runs noticeably smaller in the cups. As a result, this one causes slight quadding where the other fit perfectly.
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts * average projection * wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts) * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line) * short roots * even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full) * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away) * conical shape (but will squish to round) * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
Fit: * Strap separation: good * Straps adjust short enough: yes * ...Band length: slightly tight * Band Height: borderline short (tiny axillary skin spillage) * Cup fit: BAD. Wide-set, triangular cups that barely covered the nipple. This shape would be good for wide-set breasts with nipples point out to the sides, but NOT my wide-set breasts that point forward. Nipples popped out during scoop & sweep. I could tuck them back in, but am afraid they would escape with activity. Cup smooth along top line (really the middle edge of the cup since the "top" line is nearly vertical). Bottom filled nicely. Gave nice shape to breasts. * Gore fit: Really good. * Wire length: GOOD (This is a toughy for me. I need long wires for wide-set breast tissue but am petite so many long wires poke into the armpit.) * Cup width: Good. Wider than most. (Most cups aren't wide enough.)
Misc: * The lace on the band was scratchy, not soft, even kinda itchy. I have sensitive skin, but rarely have an issue with bra bands. I am careful with detergents & cosmetics but don't worry about fabrics so this was a surprise. (It's probably been 20 years since the last time I tried on an itchy bra.) Read more 207 more words
This was one of my favorite bras last year. It no longer fits due to some weight fluctuation, but if it came in a 30 band, I would absolutely buy it again. The moulded cups aren't stiff at all, and are a good match for my shallow, FOB shape. Plus, the lace trim didn't show through any of my T-shirts or thinner tops.
It does give an east-west shape that I don't mind, but that not everyone may love. In terms of fit, my only issue was a small amount of wrinkling and emptiness at the bottom of the cup.
This is one of my tried-and-true go-to bras! I've purchased it multiple times throughout the years in various sizes and colors because it works so well for me. The low gore, wide underwires, soft fabrics, and fully adjustable straps are all positives. Even through the cup's padding is quite thin, I've found that it provides good nipple coverage. The shape is somewhat shallow and wide, which may be issues for people with a narrower or more projected shape.
The 32DD doesn't fit as well now as it did when I bought it, but that's due to weight fluctuation, and isn't an issue with the bra itself. At present, the top of the cups gap more than I'd like, but the lace/mesh overlay does help to disguise that.
This bra looked so pretty from the website. The gore is too high on me. It was digging into my sternum. The wires were too wide. They were digging into my side. I also didn't fill out the top of the cup. Definitely more for someone with even to top fullness with moderate projection. There was some wrinkling at the bottom. I am more projected than this bra allowed. The cups and band are on the bigger side. I'm on the bigger side of 30. So most 32s fit. I'm on the smaller side of DD. I measured 30E.
This seems like it could be a pretty good fit, but I received it in awful condition. The cups are pretty warped and wrinkled and won't sit right, and the top edge is curling up. Probably machine dried and not a testament to the bra's quality. I guess this one goes on my wishlist.
Super thin molded cups, it reminds me of Wacoal's Embrace Lace but for a different shape.
A very comfortable bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This is the first Natori bra I got and I had to guess the size. I sister sized from my usual 28F. Unfortunately the cups are tad too small for me, I have quadboob. It is not that noticeable though, because of the outer stretchy mesh fabric. I think 32DDD cups would be spot on. The band is obviously too big for me, rides up, but I think the band runs small in general. I think it fits more like 30, not 32 (compared to UK bras, Panache, Freya, Mimi Holliday, etc).
What I like is that the cups ...are wide enough and shallow enough. I have shallow boobs, tall + wide roots. Plus it feels very comfortable when wearing.
ETA. I just wanted add that this bra has become one of my favourites! The quadboobing disappears when I wear the bra but due to strong wires, boobs stay in place. I guess the stretch lace is so forviging? So if I was to purchase another one, I could probably stay in the same size and not go up a cup. Read more 82 more words
The band is very stretchy. I would need to size down in the band, which is not an option in this style. Pros: Comfortable, soft fabric; good coverage Cons: very stretchy band can cause sizing challenges in small band sizes (32 and under).
This bra is clearly at least one cup size too small for me now, but I still wear it occasionally when my other bras are dirty. It's surprisingly comfortable considering.
