An ok big boobs day bra. Not great, but ok. The wires dig in quite a bit, maybe it's a break-in-thing, or maybe they simple are too stiff for me. Still alot more comfy than the cleo jude though.

Ok, so I should hav gotten the ff, but it works. It's not perfect cupwise, but it gives me support i want and improvisera my posture. The wires dig in a little at the sternum, but that's about the only real fit issue i have. It gives me cone shaped breasts that are quite separated, and it looks totally retro under a blouse or sweater! Since most bras gives a rounded shape, it's a great alternative.

The gore hurts where it touches my sternum, but the top end of the gore is floating just a little. I tend to have issues with gores that dig into where my ribs connect with my sternum rather than at the top of the gore, but it is still annoying. The cups are clearly too small, though I only barely overflow the top. The side tissue isn't enclosed, but the structure of the bra is somehow sending it in the right direction (it doesn't look like it is overflowing even though it isn't contained. The band on this one is just a little on the tight end. I think I might find a better fit in the 28GG or the 30G.
The bra is very pretty in black. I like the stretch of the lace. If the cup were the right size, I think I might love this one.

This bra is very pretty. I'd love for it to fit, but not only is the cup too small, but the shape projects more than I'd like. The band runs small and the cup as well. I ended up spilling not only on the top but on the side.
I've got the plunge coming in 28GG, so we'll see if that fits.

Very low plunge bra with a miniscule gore.
Wide wired.
Tight band.
Tall cups.
Slightly flattened round shape.

This bra would provide a more pointy look.

This bra was much too large for me in the cup. So I can't say much for how it wears or the shape it gives since all I did was try it on and laugh a bit. I'd say it runs big in the cups, but I'm not far enough along in my true bra size awareness journey to make that claim.
At least I got my band size right and this one fits quite snugly, not too stretchy.
I didn't make any attempt to adjust the straps because "why bother, it's not going to make the cups any smaller, right?" but they are fully adjustable which is appreciated by short girls like moi.
All in all, I think the Tango Plunge might work very well for me in the correct size.

All kinds of wrong. I don't get this bra. Not filling out the bottom, not filling out the cup, quadding. The fabric is itchy.

I bought this bra in a lagoon colour, and I think it really emphasised how pretty this bra is!
Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and is very soft.
The cups gape a little under the armpits, but fit well everywhere else.
9/10

I've been looking for something non-wired to wear around the house or when I want some support without a full bra (like at the movies or whatever, where I'm leaning back so underwires would dig in). I got this from another bratabase user, and wow!
It's perfect for me, or at least what I want it for. I marked the gore as floating, which is true, but it's impossible for the gore to tack due to it being a soft cup. The previous user's said that the cups come up too high for them, but it's fine for me. The cups come up as high on the sides as ... my ewa michalak PLs which are slightly too wide for me, but not uncomfortable. Somehow even without a real gore, it keeps my super-close-together boobs pretty separate, in a comfortable way.
It does give a pointy shape. I guess this is due to the construction of the bra, but it's more of a natural shape and somewhat similar to the pointiness of non-padded freyas.
The band has 6 hook and eye columns, assuming for when your ribcage expands during pregnancy. I'm not pregnant, so I am comfortably wearing it on the 2nd to tightest hook, which is fine for a lounging bra, especially considering that I have a 26" underbust. Plenty of support for sub-28 bands!
The lace itself is very pretty, and it's definitely a step up from crappy sports bras and the like.
The cups are really, really wide. It doesn't matter much because there's no underwire, but it does shift the apex more to the side than I'd like. I may try to alter the 'gore' to be narrower to see if I can bring the apex to where I need it to be.

Though this ostensibly bra fits me (based on the questions that Bratabase asks), I'm not a fan. The cups are too high on the edges, meaning that the lace rubs my armpit. It's fine for an hour or two, but eventually it gets itchy and red. Someone taller or with a longer torso (I'm 5'1"/154cm) might not have this issue, so I would recommend you try this bra if you're looking for a soft cup. I think the black on nude color combination is really soft and pretty and classy.
The shape it gives is pointed and not very uplifted--I would only wear it out ... under heavy layers--but it's doesn't look bad, really, just retro. As for the band: yes, it's stretchy; my 28 stretches to a whopping 32.5". On this I have a couple things to say: 1) if I'm lounging around the house in a soft cup bra, I don't need a super-supportive band, and 2) there are six band settings! I normally wear mine on the first or second set, but if you're much thinner than my 27", you can adjust accordingly.

This is my first 28G, so I don't have a lot of basis for comparison, but the construction is nice and it feels really sturdy. I don't get a lot of jiggling when I move around.
One thing to note is that the wires, at least on the one I received, are about 1/4th of an inch too short to reach the top of the gore. The top part of the gore, consequently, kept coming away from my body, while the wires inside stabbed me every time I leaned forward. Not sure if this is a universal issue, but it's painful enough to send the bra back.
This bra gives me a pointier shape than I prefer, and the leaf design is somewhat visible under a thin cotton shirt.
If it weren't for the underwire issue, this bra would be comfortable and supportive enough to keep.

This bra was too big. I bought it online after looking at people with similar measurements, and reviews on this site. But the G was too big. I think I need an FF. The band was perfect, however. This was my first time trying a 28 (AUS 6) after trying 32 (AUS 10): too big... 30 (AUS 8) too big. Both the 32 and 30 felt fine when I tried them on, but after only 2-3 wears, they were too loose. I have a 29 inch rib measurement, and most (not totally reliable) online calculators told me to wear a 30. But the 28 is a perfect fit in the band.
The wires poked into my chest, but I think this was because the cup was too big, and the wires too wide.
The fabric felt nice, decent quality, and the colour was a pretty, cornflower blue.

I wish they put 3 hooks on these bras.
Otherwise this fits me great. This review is for the Lagoon color. The black color was too small for me in this size.

Doesn't fit my bottom heavy breasts probably, otherwise I'd keep it because I love the way it looks.

This fit similarly to Curvy Kate plunges for me - wide and shallow cups which aren't at all compatible with my shape. It's a shame, because it's a multiway bra and these are a rare find in the world of small back/large cup bras. You can't wear it strapless, but you can have any strap combination you like and the centre gore is nice and low for versatility.
The band is true to size, so it's too loose for me in a 28. It's got quite a lot of stretch to it, which makes it comfortable but not great if you like tight bands. The cups are lightly padded ... and a nice white satin material lined with what feels like cotton. There wasn't anything about it that irritated my skin.
I had a bit of a problem with the straps in that they're too long for me when wearing as a 'normal' bra, despite being fully adjustable. I do often have a problem with straps being too long, so others may not struggle with this. I think it's also a symptom of the straps needing to be long enough to convert to a halterneck.

The molded cups give great support in this size, which is the max cup size this bra goes to. Cupsize is on the verge of being too small, but does give a smooth top line on my very low sitting boobs.

Not quite as good as the Tango Plunge, but still a pretty good fit for my low sitting boobs with very little gapping at the top.

For a long time, this was the only everyday bra (as opposed to sports bra) that fit me properly without the wires digging in or the straps being too short. I've recently finally found one or two other models that are almost as good a fit, but this is definitely my standby, and I have it in about 10 different colours now.

Strange fit on this one. It seems to encapsulate all of my breast tissue in the cup but the cups smash my breast tissue down in the bottom of the cup giving a minimizer or mashed effect. Very strange.

Just wondering, was the black colour too small in the band and cup? Or just one of them?
