I have FOB, shallow, wide rooted breasts. In, the store, I thought this bra would be my new favorite. But after wearing it for a couple hours, I notices a quadboob bulging over the top of the cup. I have NEVER had in issue with quadboob, as, with shallow breast, I usual have uses filling the cup at the top. The band was a bit loose and its a shame this bra doesn't come in anything lower than a 32. But despite the looseness (and comfort) It did not ride up. Also, the wires at the sides are not wide enough and sit on breast tissue under the arms. Aesthetically, I think this bra is one of the prettiest I've worn. I love the sweetheart swoop line of the cup. The straps are a black velvet. I may try this bra in a 32DDD to see if the extra cup size helps with the quadraboob and narrowness issues.
Amazingly comfortable and cute. Great support and style. I like how fitted the band is. Cups seem a little small for the marked size bit it fits great for me. Works well under v-neck t-shirt especially.
I find this to be a comfortable, supportive bra, even though it doesn't have molded cups. The material is quite stretchy and forgiving. My larger breast very slightly pokes out of the top of this bra, so I would be interested in seeing how the next size up fits; for now that isn't a deal-breaker for me. I comfortably wear this during a full day and feel supported, and I have better posture. I haven't worn it enough times to see how quickly it will stretch out over time. I have several Natori bras and they seem to have very wide-set underwires; this one is no different, so it doesn't give me impressive cleavage or perkiness, but it does the job, and is very comfortable. The fabric is very soft, as I have experienced with other Natori bras.
I have two other Natori bras that are comfortable that I like quite a bit (the lynx and the geo icon contour varieties), but this one has underwires that are too narrow for me - they cut into my breast tissue on the side and are uncomfortable; I'm guessing that the wires are wider on the other Natori models that I wear, because I don't have that issue with them. Also I'm popping out a little bit on the top on my larger side in this bra, so I'm probably a 32E rather than 32DD. It's too bad, because the fabric on this bra is so dreamy and soft; it's very smooth, and the straps have a nice lace detail. If you have more narrow-set breasts, I recommend trying it.
I just received this in the purple color, a band up and cup down. In the 30DDD I have an issue with the cups puckering, as the band has little give (barely any stretchy material, mostly non stretchy lace) measures about 27". This band seems a lot better, and my issue with the puckering is gone.
This model fits my shape nicely, I like the sling-like cups. It is somewhat wide and shallow, but I don't have much of an issue with this model as I do with other wide/shallow bras, for whatever reason. I don't have the issue in the 32 band like I do with the 30 where I scoop ...and swoop and quad but still pucker on top and bottom, which is nice.
In my experience with this bra, you should probably go up a band and down a cup. As I mentioned, the cups are a little shallow and wires semi wide, but I have very narrow boobs, so I think this is intended for average roots and a bit of shallowness. I'm very projected in the center and shallow on top, with soft tissue, so my tissue is mostly pushed down in this and distributed throughout the top and bottom of the bra. I'm assuming that's why it works for me. If you have firmer tissue and need projection, consider going up a cup (or if you go up a band, stick with your usual cup instead of going down.
I don't have any problems with the cup separation either, which is unusual for me in plunge styles. This one doesn't taper off as much to the sides as I've experienced with many other plunges. If you need straight, up front cups with little separation, but want a plunge, this should work. Even if your boobs appear somewhat separate like mine, watch for tissue being distributed there after being lifted if you're not too perky-I need under 1" separation, preferably wires touching.
This bra's somewhat sling cups has also been nice for my tall, shallow roots, and doesn't cut in. If you have tall roots that project out more, I'd assume you may have issues with cutting in, especially soft tissue.
I also have lower set boobs and don't have any problems with strap length with this bra. I don't normally, but I guess I just luck out with straps. The appearance of this bra under shirts is also one of mg favorites. Very rounded and perky looking, but not semi artificial looking like the Decos. I personally like the Deco shape, but for those who want padded bras with a more natural look than the Deco, I find this really nice. It gives a somewhat teardrop, perky look on me.
And as mentioned, this band had very little to no stretch. The lace band is very tough, not stretchy, so consider going up a band unless you're losing weight and have extenders or something https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />
Edit: I noticed that the band rides up jusy slightly in this. Ah. Can't win. Also, the cups pucker AND quad when scooped. I believe it's because the wires are just too wide for me in this and the actual cups have little coverage(NOT the mesh). It's not noticeable under shirts, but it's not a perfect fit.
I'm only keeping this/ going to wear it and probably purchase a black because this model is my boyfriend's favorite, it's not major, and it's still comfortable. For fit though, not spot on.
This bra didn't fit me well. I was happy to find something in my size in a store, so I compromised my standards. The cup material was too thin, so nipples showed through sometimes. The band was solid, which was good. It is an ok bra, it just didn't work well with my boob type.
The best part of this bra is the band is a little wider and provides band support. This relieves pressure on the straps and the bra feels like it is floating instead of hanging. The band has a lace detail that is pretty so the wider width is attractive.
The bra is 69% cotton. This is a plus for me in the summer months.
This is a good basic bra and looks good under fitted t-shirts.
My first well fitting bra. I fit just as well in the 30 DDD, but band was a bit tight. I chose the 32DD but I can wear it on the middle or tightest hooks so I hope it doesn't stretch too quickly. I learned Demi's fit better than full cups. It is so pretty with the sheer part on the tops of the cups.
I bought this bra in a sister size to my usual 28F and altered the band down.
It fits okay. If I S&S very much, it seems I get a tiiiny little quadboob. I don´t know if one cups size up would be good or too much. Anyway, after a while my boobs adjust to the cups very well. I did notice that the underwires don´t sit all the way against my skin, there is a tiny gap. This could be due to the bra construction, but also too small cups. Straps don´t adjust all the way, but there are plenty of options. The strap adjusting is not like ...it usually is, there is a metal clasp and certain options were to adjust it to. I cannot explain this in English, please see pics!
What is best in this bra is that it is VERY SOFT!! I didn´t know a bra could be that soft!! Very comfortable, and definitely a must-have for yoga =) The band has 3 hooks + eyes which is very good. I think this bra offers quite good support and I can also go jogging in it. It is maybe not as supportive as, say, Panache sports, but it is definitely quite good! Read more 97 more words
I'm in love with this bra. The stretchy lace of the cups is very forgiving and comfy. A little back fat escapes the narrow band but it's not a big deal.
EDIT: I realize now that the "back fat/side bulge" escapage is really breast tissue that's not being held in because the cups were too small. I wore it for about 15 minutes and the wires were digging into my breast tissue.
This is a serious push up bra and I do like it. It gives me a pretty rounded shape considering it's a push up and I like rounded--not pointy. Unfortunately the underwires are digging into my ribs. I've investigated this issue and I think it's because the band is too loose and/or the cups are better for shallow breasts. I think I'm more projected and need more room in the bottom of the cup. I'll need to return this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />
Super comfortable! I feel as though the band has stretched a little over time, but I am still able to wear it on the tightest hooks. It makes me feel elegant and just a bit sexy too. No outlines through t-shirts, no matter how thin the fabric. Beware of hangnails or super dry skin as the lovely lace can get a little snagged.
This bra fits really well. The cups are shallow and very wide. It may not be the most flattering shape because it pushes the breasts to the sides but I don't mind that. The only problem I have with it is that by the end of the day it wants to slide down a little bit but I often have this problem with partial band bras.
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.
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.
I'd love thoughts on the fit.
