Surprisingly good fit on the first try. Very comfortable. Shapes breast to a natural, slightly pointy shape, which I do not like with tight t-shirt styles. For looser or more structured clothes, it's a nice shape. I'm short-torsoed, so the center gore prods sometimes, but not in a painful fashion. Been wearing it for four months or so, stretched very slightly--when bought it was perfect on the loosest band and too tight on any other, now it is comfortable on any of the hooks. Looks beautiful.
This is an improvement on the Curvy Kate Emily in the same size. The wires come up higher at the side so I have less breast tissue escaping into my armpit.
I am disappointed that the back hooks are only two high- that's just not enough anchorage for a large bust.
It felt a bit tight the first time I tried it on but after wearing it for a few hours the back band is now quite stretched and I'm using the last column of eyes, so I possibly needed a smaller band in this style. Being so narrow at the back it's stretched out very quickly.
I quite ...like the high coverage but it's closer to a full cup bra than a balconette but that doesn't bother me.
The centre gore does press into my sternum, I think I am better suited to lower centre wires.
The lace isn't too scratchy and it's ok under most tops. I wouldn't call it t-shirt friendly but it's fine for something patterned or printed.
On the plus side, this bra is relatively cheap and easy to find so I'll probably try out another size and order some more. Read more 85 more words
Bought this from Bravissimo as I needed a strapless bra. When I'm wearing the straps on it it's perfect, as a strapless bra I wouldn't want to do too much jumping up and down, I don't think it would stay in place. My boobs fill the cups perfectly with no underarm fat or quadboob.
The band is very tight, but I imagine it would feel fine once broken in. The cups are simply too big for me, they wrinkle really badly. I would say I could almost fill the bottom, but definitely not the top. The gore felt perfectly comfortable. Panache
I think this is one of my best fitting bras I own - not perfect; but, closer than I've come before. It's comfortable enough to wear all day and night and is cute with the lace lining the top of the cup. I love the colors it comes in (not just nude and black but a deep red and navy). I think the wires are just a little too wide for me though. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I don't even consider myself shallow chested, but this bra had far too much projection and the top of the cup gave me quadboob. The band seemed loose as well but that might just be me getting used to tighter bands. Such a shame to not be able to wear it, the raspberry is such a pretty colour and I love the tall wing.
OMG, I'm so excited about this bra! It is literally the first bra I've had since puberty in which I didn't just pop right out! I am bottom heavy so I do get some gaping in the top, but it smooths over very nicely with just a tank top thrown over it. If I pull my shoulders back all the gaping disappears. The lace might show through a thinner fabric, I'm wearing it in just a basic tank and there is no show through. I have a 31" underbust at the moment and I feel like the straps are a bit wide, but I don't think they'd slip ...down. I might also look into testing out a 30H or HH in this model, but I'm really happy with the current fit regardless. The fabric is very silky and the lace is super cute while being short enough to prevent any nip slips.
P.S. I originally tried this in a 34F (when I first measured myself I was 33", I lost a few inches since). The quadboob was terrible and the bra gave me an ugly pointy shape. In this new size, 32GG, the shape is very pleasant and rounded, not pointy at all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 102 more words
I like this bra in theory. It's pretty and supportive, but the center gore wires dig into my sternum like crazy. The wires might come up too high on the sides too, but I'm really not sure. Just getting into this proper bra size thing.
I measure a 28F (from my wifes busty guide on reddit). I tried on a 28E which resulted in SERIOUS QUADBOOB!
I asked for help and was fitted into a 28FF at Bravissimo. I'm in love with this bra. I have the current season green one which is beautiful against my skin.
I measure about 27 inches on my underbust but I think this is a somewhat loose band, I could clip it on the middle or tighestest band to give a snug fit but even on the loosest it provides uplift and doesn't ride up.
The underwires encase my breasts completely, there is no armpit fat or weird bulging ...anywhere. The top of the cup sits comfortably against my skin, and there is a nice smooth line.
I prefer a rounded shape so the slight downside is that it gives a more natural shape but it's not as pointy as some bras. It's better than the CK Lottie in terms of shape.
I'm learning to love unpadded bras.
I really want to get the Lucy and Marcie bras but I'm not sure whether to order the same size as the Tango and Juna or get a few sizes. I haven't seen comparisons with juna and tango on the lucy and marcie bra reviews.
This bra is extremely comfortable, one of my all-time favorites. I keep coming back to it. The lace on the side adds a little bit of sexiness which is sometimes hard to find in bras in the 30F range. I could wear this bra 24/7 and be happy as a clam! It does not poke or rub me wrong in any way, shape, or form. I do feel like it does stretch out a little easy, I think next time I order it I might size down and see if it fits comfortable. I have gotten it in black and also a light pink, both of which I found to be very attractive. It does not show under clothes at all. LOVE THIS BRA! can't say enough good things about it.
Very happy with this bra. The band is a bit loose, but I did not try the 30, so I couldn't say if I could have gone down in band size. The wires under the arm felt like they might pinch when I first put it on, but after properly adjusting the straps and my breast tissue it became quite comfortable to wear.
I wanted to love this bra but it does not work with my breasts.
The band is very comfortable and the bra itself is very soft. However the cups are meant for shallower breasts I suppose. The top of the cups cut in on me. But the bottom of the cup seems to slide down.
Ariza 34J (Mulberry Bravissimo Exclusive at least I guess it's that one, it looks different than in the pictures. It did also look different on Ebay and judging from the picture I though I'd get the pink / ivory one)
This bra fits differently compared to newer styles of Ariza (Violet Mix). The wires are higher on older styles, I knew about this. But there are other differences.
I just had a weird feeling when putting the bra on. It definately fits better than the 32J (size-wise) but I have to close it already on second hooks and something about the fit is off.
Online when I saw this was the fit experts second choice I felt a bit blah about it and in person I still felt a bit blah about the bra. On this bra is another story! The band is a bit big, but the cups seem pretty spot on (slight, slight gaping under the rim of the cup). I think that in a 32FF this bra would fit quite nicely (especially if I have any tissue migration or monthly fluctuation in size, that tiny bit of extra room will come in useful). Still on the fence, but I think I'll likely order this in 32FF.
I have tried this bra in multiple sizes to no avail. I think this bra is not good for my shape (full on bottom) and is probably better suited for someone with more fullness on top. Or the design just sucks.The straps are too far apart and the top of the cup digs into my armpit. The straps felt like they needed to be set in about an inch closer together on each side. It wrinkled all along the top of the cup. Even with the straps fully tightened, there was still wrinkling along the top near the armpit and a weird gap where the strap meets the ...cup. It looked really weird under my shirt too. I really wanted this bra to fit because I like the smooth look of a molded cup. The gore also seemed a bit wide for me. The band was pretty stretchy in the 32 but unbearably tight in the 30. I would recommend sizing down in the band and using a band extender. The wires seemed wide enough to encompass all the breast tissue in my armpits, which is often a problem for me. Read more 85 more words
This bra confuses me. The band is itchy-tight, yet the band on the 32FF is super loose. I get the faintest hint of the shadow of quad boob, too--nothing you can see under clothing, but it's there. It's a nice, functional basic bra, though, and very supportive. I know many people say it's usable as a t-shirt bra and basically invisible under medium-weight knits. That is NOT the case for me. Seams and texture very visible under everything but heavy sweaters for me. Still, nice, comfy, supportive. Going to add an extender until the band eases up.
I previously owned this in a 30G and found the band itchy-tight and the top of the cup slightly quadbooby. Tried the 32FF and got the same slight quadboob and a band so loose I could fit two fists in it on the tightest hook. WEIRD. I wonder if different colors/dyes makes a difference in fabric stretchiness? Looks like 30G with an extender is the better fit for me.
Just wondering, was the black colour too small in the band and cup? Or just one of them?
