My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle
This review is for the black colorway.
This is a fantastically comfortable bra. It is lightweight and breathable, so great for summer, and it absolutely disappears under even the slinkiest of blouses. If they have your size, get it. You will not regret it.
I will definitely say this is a practical bra for me, because I do not really care for the stained-glass-window deal that bra makers love to use for many DD+ bras, but everything else about it makes up for that. I often have problems with underwires poking me in the boob ...at the sternum, but the center gore is definitely low enough that it is no issue. I am pleased with the coverage I get in spite of it being a plunge bra, and I like that it isn't really padded because sometimes you just want to wear a regular dang bra already. As far as shape goes, well, it is a pretty natural shape for me, with a tiny bit of lift and some nipple discretion from the padding, so it basically looks like I am not wearing a bra at all - and THAT, my friends, is the mark of a top-notch bra. So in spite of the funny sheer triangle on top of the cups, I will still say that I am in love. Definitely worth every penny.
6 month update (more like 8 months): The mesh band has stretched out a lot, more than I would have hoped for the price considering I haven't had it even a year, but it is still good on the tightest set of hooks. I will have to look into taking it in within the next few months, though.
I also have problems with the Orange-in-a-Glass effect a lot, and this bra is no exception, meaning I am a little to FOB for it. The wrinkles at the base of the cup are pretty definite when the bra is not being worn, but they disappear, more or less, when I put it on, and you can't tell at all under clothes.
Overall, I would still say it was a worthwhile purchase. I have worn it as a daily bra and often to work (where I should probably be wearing a sports bra, on account of physical labor, but I don't have one), and it's held up nicely. Read more 293 more words
Very comfortable fit. The lace is not itchy, and it stretches well. My only problem with this bra is that the cup attaches to the strap VERY high, so it will not be wearable under certain shirts. The plunge is nice, and the cups are supportive while the liner feels like the most comfortable tshirt you've ever worn.
Wow! Natori does it again https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I think I just found my new fav bra!! This thing is amazingly comfortable and adorable! I LOVE the colors, the pink and lavender overlaying each other. Too cute. And it's like I'm not even wearing a bra! So lightweight.
This bra is like a jazzed up version of the Feathers. Same cut, same style, but THIS one has 3 rows of hooks....YAY!!!! That's always a major selling point for me. I just wish the band was a bit tighter, or that they made this in a 28G! But it's still def wearable. And I'm sure ...I will wear this one out by the end of the summer! Lol!! This is gonna be the perfect bra for those hot days to wear under a tank top. It gives such a nice rounded shape but without all that padding and bulkiness. I love that it's a plunge, too, very low-cut! My only gripe is the band being a bit too loose but that was expected. I'm def hanging onto this one, and highly recommend it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 85 more words
This is a gorgeous bra! Wish it came in smaller bands!
YES!!! My thoughts exactly! I thought of maybe taking the band in but I'm worried I'll massacre the bra! Lol!
If I had the motivation/skill for alterations I could probably save some of my old bras. But sheesh, I figure I've suffered in too-big bands long enough, my size is out there dangit, I just want a bra that fits, and manufacturers to realize that! That's what every girl deserves lol. But I can see how it would be tempting, it's very lovely!
I bought this bra used from a fellow Bratabase user. Why have I waited so long to try this?! It's everything I've been looking for! This bra is an absolute must-have to every woman's bra collection! I love it! In fact, I got it in the mail over 14 hours ago, tried it on and still haven't taken it off yet!! It feels like a comfy sports bra, I can def sleep in this.
Other than the band being stretched out from regular wear, this bra fits perfectly. I was looking for a simple, plunge type t shirt kind of bra but without all the padding or moulded ...cups - just something soft, lightly lined and seamless. This bra gives my girls an amazing shape without any bulkinness or stiffness and looks good under shirts (it is lightly lined tho so the nips can show thru, but that's ok). The wires fit perfectly, just enough width, just the right height and the gore sits low enough for me. It really doesn't even feel like a bra.
I'm glad I was able to try this bra out so I know now that it is def worth spending the money on a brand new one (and I've found them fairly cheap on eBay, in all sorts of different colors). My only complaint is that Natori doesn't make this in a smaller band size...a 28G in this would be perfect! But I can def swing the 32DDD. I HIGHLY recommend this bra!!! Read more 141 more words
What I like: - it's a great, basic, t-shirt bra, gives a nice shape and looks good under shirts. - it's comfortable (the cups fit me well, nothing digs in or pokes where it shouldn't - I got it in a cute burgundy color.
What I don't like: - the cup is very full-coverage, which is not my first choice.
Super soft wireless bra. Lined but no heavy padding like many soft cup bras have. The gore area and part of the wings is also lined with soft foam, a neat choice!
This is a cup size up from what I usually wear so it is too big. The cups are wide, but comparable to the Deco Soft Cup in the same size. Common with wirefree bras. It seems more shallow and closed on top than other wireless bras I have tried. While I don't fill out the cups, the top of the cup still cuts in making it both too big and too small.
Why do I keep buying bras with band size 32? (Because they're beautiful and almost-perfect.) Having purchased several bras last week, the majority of which arrived this morning, I've reached the conclusion that I really can't get away with wearing bras of this size anymore, despite what Bratabase says when I put in my measurements.
First, the good things. This bra is beautiful in color and detail, with lace in all my favorite places. It is very soft, and the wider/shallower cups seem to be well-suited to my breast shape.
Unfortunately, the straps on this bra are just too darn wideset, to the point of digging into the connective tissue ...between my arms and breasts and causing pain. I am pretty sure that this is due to the bra's band being too large for me, based on the fact that I don't run into this problem with the bras I've tried with 28 or 30 bands. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for this bra in a 30DDD/E, but I think I may have to pass on this one for now.
Thank you, Love4Pollinators, for the fast shipping and high-quality bra. Unfortunately, I just jumped too quickly and should have waited for the same bra in a different size. Please don't be offended if I re-list! Read more 110 more words
For reference, my measurements are: 1: 30.5 2: 27 3: 36 4: 37.5 5: 35.5 Size: 30F or 28FF Full on top, slightly wide roots.
Good: This bra is sturdy and comfortable. It holds breasts in firmly without being painful. I like the double-layering of fabric—the smooth material on the outside lays over the cups on the inside.
Neutral: My breasts look squished and flat in it. It's a sports bra, though, so I expect it.
It's not the bra's fault, but the gore doesn't tack. I was talked into buying this size by the sale's lady and I regret it. I need my proper cup size. It's really a shame, because this is a high-quality sports bra that I would recommend.
Bad: I don't like the hook straps. The extra fabric hangs out and can itch. It's difficult to get it to stay under the strap.
I hate to be labeled as a nit-picker, but Is this supposed to be Power *Yoga* bra? You've entered *Yogi* bra (would that be Yogi Bear or Yogi Berra?). :)
Thanks dismalscientist I had thought about that. I've just never heard a bra called a *Yogi* bra. : )
I have the bra. It's the right name.
I am having similar problems with mine! cup sizes too small because of the sale's lady, I am super sad because sweat really collects between my boobs because there's no gore between them :( Despite that I really do feel well supported, and I like that it is full coverage enough to wear without a top if I'm okay with showing my belly (Like at a dance or something)
The band size was a bit too firm also, but with an extender it has actually stretched out to the point where I *almost* can get to the first hooks without discomfort. I really want to get another one of these but two cup sizes up. I'm not sure about getting the band size up because of how much it has already stretched, and the possibility of losing weight now that I have a relatively comfortable sports bra that actually supports me, despite it's flaws.
My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.
This review is for the purple orchid colorway.
This is a beautiful bra, and probably the closest I will ever get to a full-coverage dealy. It's super comfortable, and since I got it to be full-coverage (i.e. worn under tops where it wouldn't show anyway), I went ahead and got the bright purple, which is gorgeous, by the way. It has 3 sets of hooks!
The band is pretty stretchy and will probably relax some in the next few months, but I have noticed that Natori has stretchy bands in general, and it's ...nowhere near as bad as the Natori Hidden Glamour Full Fit Contour Bra (736044) or the Natori Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) . The cup is pretty wide, but like the rest of my Natoris, not quite wide enough for me, although I only notice it in the pictures and it's perfectly comfy when worn.
These cups are almost exactly my shape! It's nice because they don't cut in on top but they also don't gape, which is a very tricky balance to strike for me. There is a slight bit of empty space in the bottom, but the wires are so flexible they don't shift much.
Overall: Incredibly pleased with this bra, and really glad now that I caved and got it.
I got the matching shorts too, since they were on sale. Super cute, super soft, and gloriously PURPLE! Read more 142 more words
What can I say?! I LOVE this bra!!! I first tried a pre-owned Natori Feathers in nude that I bought from another fellow BTB user https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It was shown lots of love, and rightfully so https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> But the band was rather stretched out and as much as I loved it, I had to part with it as the band was just too loose for me. So I decided to buy one brand new for myself, in the White...so pretty!! And what a difference!
There's just something about the simplicity of this bra that makes me fall in ...love with it! No padding, no push-up...just lightly lined and simple. I love the plunge style, which is oddly enough pretty difficult to find in a bra that isn't padded, a push-up or completely unlined! I think that's what makes this bra somewhat unique and special. So simple, but sexy at the same time. It's not a perfect, "proper" fit, but pretty dang close. The only issue, for me, is the band (as always). I can make do with the 32, but with a 27" underbust, it's def a bit loose. Surprisingly, tho, it's not too bad, esp since this is brand new and "unstretched" out bra. It's pretty snug and tight, for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Lol. But everything else fits perfectly. The gore doesn't tack as properly as I guess it should, but it works for me. The width of the cup seems wider than what I would normally do, but it still works. The wires don't dig in or come out too far around my back. They seem perfect. The depth of the cup is just right! No quad boob, no gaping...just right. The straps aren't falling off my shoulders and I like that they're placed farther inward on the back of the band (always seems to make for a more supportive, stable fit for me). I LOVE the shape this bra gives under clothes, and it's a super comfy fit!!! I wanna buy the Feathers in many different colors, and try lots of other styles by Natori!!!
I highly recommend this bra if you're looking for a simple, no push-up padding or cookies bra that can be worn everyday and still provide excellent support and shape without sacrificing comfort!! And I like the White MUCH better than the nude/beige. SO SO pretty!!! Read more 299 more words
34DDD - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.
This review is for the nude colorway.
This is my first Natori Hidden Glamour, although I almost bought the pretty slate-grey last year and have really been tempted to drop some cash on it ever since. However, it is not my first Natori, and I am starting to notice a pattern in how seriously stretchy their bands are...
I got this bra to be an everyday/nude staple, and after 3 wears I can say it is doing that admirably. The cup shape fits my under-boob ...better than the 32DDD - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) , but as I struggle with finding a decent combination of FOB + shallow for super-tall roots, this is just a nice surprise. It also has a more structured and rounded shape than the Feathers, but it isn't extreme and the only padding is really just for discretion. The underwires are too narrow for my wide roots, but it's only obvious in the photos; when it's on, I can't tell at all and it doesn't bother me.
My two complaints are pretty superficial: one, that I wish the underwires were about half a centimeter lower in the center gore, but compared to the problems I have with Chantelle bras in this department, this is heaven; and two, that the nude isn't quite nude, especially for my pasty self (you can't tell from the lighting in the pictures, but it is more of a brown tone than peach or whatever), but I think it will suffice for my needs just fine.
The sides of the cups come up a little bit high for some of my tank tops, but they don't cut in or itch or rub or anything. Overall, this bra is comfortable and unbelievably soft. I can tell it will stretch some over the next year or so, but I think it will do nicely.

Mi forma: tanto sobresaliente (como una lágrima), llano abajo, de raíz muy ancha y muy alta, con poquito espacio entre los senos.
Esta crítica es del color beis/desnudo.
Este sujetador es un buen artículo cotidiani. El color es tan claro mi piel pálida, aunque tiene tonos amarillos y yo tengo los de melocotón, pero no se le ver debajo de ningunas camisas lijeras. ¡Y el roce! ¡Que suave es!
La forma de la copa es muy similar de la de mis senos, y es uno de los mejores que he tratado. Lucho por encontrar un estilo que me sienta bien la combinación de llano abajo, tanto sobresaliente, y raices altas, pero el saliente es tanto buen y el fondo de la copa tiene casi suficiente saliente para la forma de lágrima. Está mejor de talla que el Natori Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) de talla 32DDD, pero el Feathers tiene forma menos sobresaliente en el fondo de la copa. El relleno es bastante fino, sin push up, y solo ayuda evitar la muestra de los pezones.
¡Los aros la quedan la línea de mi pliegue inframammary tanto bien! Siguen la curva bien, aunque son poquitito estrechos como lo mayor de los sóstenes. Cuando lo llevo, es tan cómodo y no me molestan los extremos de los aros.
El problema principal es el elástico del lateral. Noto que todos los laterales de Natori se estiran mucho, así podía ser una compra anual, pero si estén rebajados, no costarían caros. Read more 473 more words
This was largely an experiment. I'd lost some weight, especially in my boobs, and found myself able to fit into regular American-size bras. Still the very top of the spectrum, but I'll take it. I'd been coveting the Feathers for a while - Pretty! Lacy trim! Plunging neckline! And it fits, in the technical sense. It checks the boxes for cups, band, and it even takes the lead in the category of Not-Cutting-Into-My-Armpits, unlike SOME bras. (Ahem, pretty much every full-bust brand.) Yet, there's something a little lacking about it. Everything is very stretchy and flimsy and it ...just doesn't feel like its offering serious support. Under clothes, it looks just a little sad, unlike when I wear, say, my Cleo Lucy. Not much uplift or shaping going on with this. It's extremely comfortable, but leaves a bit to be desired in its purpose. Thus, my conclusion to this experiment is, even though I can it in regular bra brands, I would rather go with a full-bust brand since they seem to do a better job of actually being a bra. But I will wear this one around the house. Read more 97 more words
No scratchy trim, the straps don't fall down, it gives a little bit of cleavage, the padding is thin enough to actually mold to me but still thick enough to give some structure.
This bra looks pretty but the cups are a tad big on me and the wires are really long and high on the side. Wires go back too far on the side. Band is soft and feels good. I might try a cup and band down to 30 E with a bra extender and see how that fits.
Very pretty bra, but incredibly shallow. I have shallow breasts but this was the only bra I've found too shallow for me, and the wire dug in painfully under my breasts. The band runs a little small (I have a 31in underbust and the 32 was too small for me). The cups run maybe half a size small.
I'm writing this very soon after purchase, so will edit as necessary... I instantly liked this one but I'm not sure if it's because my last purchase was quite irritating in the fit and drove me to seek out a new one. For a Natori, this seems to fit a little more rounded/projected, and I don't feel the same 'squashed down' feeling that I usually get from their bras (like Feathers). I am shallow, but apparently not as shallow as I thought. There is more area in the molded cup than the other Natoris that I own, so that has to have something to do with ...it. My only gripes are that it's so light and pretty that I'm unsure of longevity potential, it's on the plunge-y side, and the straps are thinner than my personal preference. The wires could be a hair narrower (~0.25" on each side under the arms), and the cups an equal amount shorter on the tallest part. Otherwise, it is very comfortable, the straps stay up, gore tacks well and isn't noticeable. As nit-picky as I was above, this is the closest to a well fitting bra that I feel like I've found in years. So, of course it's discontinued haha Read more 103 more words
Not great for prominent breasts. Does not work well at all. I loved the initial look of it and wanted to deal with the fact the top wasn’t filled properly. But it caused actual pain and I had to stop wearing it.
Since birthing/nursing/weaning twins, my breasts are soft, bottom heavy, and one is nearly two cup sizes larger than the other. But this bra looks good on both breasts! No bulging on the big boob, no wrinkling on the small boob, perhaps due to the cups not coming up very high, sort of a balconette. I like the shape it gives, too. Nothing itchy about it either, and I am quite picky about that sort of thing.
It was a clearance sale find, and I hate that it happens to be polka dot red with rather thick seam lines that contrast the beige netting, because it shows through nearly all my shirts. If I could get this exact cut in a smooth, solid fabric, that didn't scream "look at me!" through all my clothes, it would absolutely be my favorite bra.
Although this bra comes in the size I was fitted into when I bought it, it doesn't feel sturdy enough to really support my breasts properly. The straps are too thin, and the style and shape of the cups doesn't work well with my shape. I wouldn't recommend this to others with similar measurements and shape.
This is a gorgeous bra! Wish it came in smaller bands!
