I tried this bra on super quickly in a Rigby & Peller; it was the only 28FF they had (and they said they only had the one because of a custom order for one specific person — they don’t carry 28s in-store). I had tried this same bra about a month ago but decided against it because the band was too tight, which was because I was still used to 32s/30s at the time and a little bit because it’s the black color way. Now that I have a little more knowledge of fitting and prefer snugger bands I figured why not try it again, just for fun? ... Anyway, onto actual bra info from the backstory: This bra is way too wide for me. Even on my larger/wider breast, I have significant wrinkling on the outer side of the cup, and the wrinkling is a little ridiculous on my smaller/narrower side. I didn’t notice it until I looked very closely, but I also had some wrinkling at the bottom because this bra doesn’t have enough immediate/overall (?) projection for me. The top of the cup fit beautifully and was the definition of “a smooth line between my breast and the bra” or whatever the actual text of the fitting info is, which was why I was sad that it didn’t fit in other areas. It’s a gorgeous bra with very silky fabric, and if it was the right shape for me I would’ve gone for it! Read more 138 more words
This is a pretty nice bra. The lace is a little scratchy (but it's new) and it contains things pretty well considering it's a thin and lacy bra. It fits my smaller breast really well but is a bit too small on my larger one and cuts in. The shape it gives me is slightly pointy, but not too bad. I will keep an eye out for the 28G to come on sale on Amazon and will be keeping this one in hopes of losing a few pounds.
This bra looks very delicate and feminine. The lace cups are half lined, so though the lace is a bit stretchy the cups don't have too much give. It's comfortable, and very flattering, not even a little itchy. Usually I need to bend underwires for them to follow the curve of my breast, with PE if the wires aren't right on top of each other the gore is usually too wide, but the underwires in this bra were surprisingly tensile. The wires shaped to the cure naturally and didn't require extra persuasion from me. I will definitely be buying this bra in all the colors.
For the record, I have a 2/5 even shape, average to slight projection and tall shallow roots. I usually can't wear plunge styles because they tend to cut into my tall roots, but this bra is a perfect fit! The band does run big - my normal size is 30F, and a 28FF fit me well. I did, however, find that the gore dug into my sternum a little (I find this with most Panach/Cleo bras), but I just bent the top, pointy edge away from my chest slightly and it's comfortable. This did not seem to affect the fit at all. The shape I get from it is natural to rounded. Definitely not pointy or retro in any way. If this bra comes out in more colours, I will definitely be buying them.
Extreme torpedo appearance. My breasts are projected, center-full and FoT and this bra was very unflattering. Wires were too wide, the bottom appeared underfilled, and tissue was almost bursting out of the top.
I also found the band to be tighter than I prefer but not unwearable.
Bra that changed my life. My best fit so far, feels lightweight. Band is nice and tight, 28 almost feels 26, which is huge plus. My wide rooted breasts sit in nicely and pretty close together without big core cap in the middle. This is a bra that has more cup space beneath ribcage without bursting breast forward, but it does not make me look too flat chested. Being fabric coated shoulder straps are so soft and this fits so well maybe I wouldn't need them at all.
Lacking variety in color and decoratives it might seem dull and boring for many it definitely isn't ugly, but nicely shaped and I love simple classy look. This bra was used for maybe 2.5 years after it had stretched out.
I'm not gonna lie, I only bought this bra for desperate emergencies when I need something 1. strapless, or 2. absolutely seamless. The immediate projection is really nonexistent, it will never get into my IMF and slides down the front of my boobs, the gore floats because the cups are too damn shallow, the cups create the illusion of quadboob because the cut into the top of my breasts (I also have tall roots, which doesn't help), the band, although the right size for me, is uncomfortable because of the silicone strips, and this bra just generally doesn't breathe well and makes me feel like a hot sweaty quad-boob profiled mess. I may have to try the Deco plunge again, cause realistically, I rarely wear strapless things anymore.
This bra is probably my best fitting and most comfortable at the moment. This Black Andorra is slightly larger in the band and the cups than the Spice colourway (strange, I know), but that makes it suuuuper comfortable! The gore tacks well, it gives me a great shape (not super pointy), the wires are a great width for me, the straps stay on for the most part, and I love having two fuller-coverage bras when I just wanna feel really secure.
This is the Spice colourway. I bought this and the Black colourway from SFYS in Toronto when they were on clearance for half price, because SFYS won't be stocking the Andorra Full Cup anymore (strange, I know). The band is wonderfully snug, but the cups are just slightly too small for me in this colourway (again, strange that it would run smaller in band and cup than the Black colourway!) so it makes it feel overall just a little bit too small. I can cope, though. This also means that this colourway is slightly pointier than my Black. Everything else is fantastic though. I particularly like how the straps are positioned closer-set than my other bras.
This is possibly one of the comfiest underwired bras I have ever worn, second only to the Panache Sports bra. The cups fit very nicely and give me a forward projecting shape without widening my torso, which is always something I'm looking for in a good bra. The band is not as firm as I normally like, but still doesn't slip out of place and is very comfortable. Not sure how quickly this bra will stretch out, but if it does I'm wearing it on the largest hook so it's okay. The fabric is SO soft and comfortable, the only thing I'm really aware ...of when wearing this bra are the wires, but that's pretty normal for me. The bra is wonderfully made, with straps that are comfortably wide yet still look nice. My only minor complaint with it is the shape--it gives me more of a pointed, "natural boob" look and doesn't lift quite as much as I normally prefer, but these aren't really bad things. I normally prefer more rounded shapes, but often find that they widen my torso, so this is a nice change. It's very natural and flattering, sort of the bra-equivalent of a "my lips but better" lipstick. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Mind you, the shape issue is a VERY minor problem for me. The bra is comfy, fits and supports well and keeps everything where it should be, and overall I'm very happy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 149 more words
The band fit nice and snug which was great. Straps weren't too thick or too thin. They can be adjusted quite a bit. The cups however, breasts kept trying to escape from the bottom, the sides, and the top. It's a multiway bra which would have been nice if it fit because I love multiway bras!
Whenever I would fix my breasts into the cups, the bra itself would ride up, making my boobs spill from the bottom. I know it sounds odd hahaha, my band size is perfect because I own another bra with a 28 band size and its great. I will add pictures later. This is my first ever post so i'm a newbie to this. :-)
Maybe the band runs big? Not all 28s will stretch to the same length eve in the same brand. If it is riding up then the band is too big.
usually the bottom of the cups on the Zara fold over or there is a crease.
Of the 30FF, 30F, 28G, and 28 FF, this 28FF fit me the best. Slight spillage on larger side, perfect fit on smaller side. Wires closest to sitting in IMF on bottom and sides of cup for this one. Band too short but fine on middle hook of extender. Wish there were either another row of hooks or band was continuous under cups.
I wanted to love this bra and its super adjustable straps but the cups are just too shallow for me. It seems like it would be comfortable and give some great cleavage if you had the right shape.
This bra was really comfortable and great quality, but did not fit me. The cup was too a little too small for me, but if it fit, it would have been a nice natural kind of pointed shape, I think. The band is on the tight side, but not uncomfortably so. The fabric breathes really nicely which is always an upside. The lace is really soft, which is good. It also looks really nice - not cheap, but good quality. I think this could be very easily a good everyday bra or possibly even a bridal option if one likes the fit enough. It really does have a really delicate quality backed up by some structure which is nice to find.
My close-set boobs love the gore on this bra! Unfortunately, they do not love ANYTHING else. The bra has a weird shape at the bottom of the cup, so it wrinkles and folds over itself. It was just an odd fit. For a person with the right shaped breasts though, wow, cleavage! Even with the poor fit (or maybe because of it), I got lots of lovely cleavage.
This bra is very pretty. The shape is odd and a bit pointy, like a retro look. Not sure how I feel about it yet. The band is definitely a size smaller than what it says, so be aware! I have a 28FF and the band measures to 26 inches, stretched. I like the feeling of it; my breasts feel super secure. Overall, I'd say the bra is good. It seems to be more for full on top ladies.
Tried the Andorra because so many people recommended it for soft, FOB boobs. There are several things I like about it: gorgeous lace, super comfortable cups, deep color, and it comes in a 28 (though I'm pretty sure I need a 30).
Unfortunately, it doesn't meet my criteria for style. Though it does a much better job of lifting than some of the recent bras I've tried, it looks pointy with or without clothing. I fill out the entire cup, so that's not the problem. I tried moving the straps to the end of my shoulders just to see if it would help the shape, and it was significantly improved, but still not for me. Every Panache bra I've tried so far fails me in the placement of the straps in the back; pretty sure I need to give up trying them. The wires are also slightly to wide for me and the gore is too high for the weird extra bone width on my sternum.
Time to get serious about those Polish plunge bras, I guess.
I've never seen boobs be able to escape from the bottom if the band is actually tight enough . .
