Ok you guys this is the first of my bras to arrive it's the Playful Promises Jaquelina Mustard Contrast Plunge bra. It is gorgeous, but I already knew that it would not fit me because I had to get a sister size UK 36H. Had it been in stock i likely would have gone for the HH or maybe a J.
The good:
The bra is gorgeous! The material looks very luxurious, the lace is thick and embroidered while the yellow satin base is smooth and has a low sheen. The straps are lined in smooth black satin and the little bows and gold hardware are ... cute little accents. I like that the band has a bone on each side to promote smoothing and even though the band is too big it is still firm enough to offer a bit of support.

The not so good:
I knew that this would not be a perfect fit but I am keeping it. The gore is too high for me and does not tack, but even if it did this is about 1-2cups too small. It is not noticable unless the gore is pressed flat and it is not too wide thankfully. I need a lower gore because of center full close set tissue. The straps are only half adjustable which could be a big issue for some. The strap placement wasn't extremely wide but it would have been nice if they were moved in an inch.

I bought the matching “brazillian” more like a bikini style and the crotchless thong. I have just taken new measurements so I will keep this in mind in the future.

I bought a UK 12 in the brazilian and although I love the soft stretchable mesh the front i feel is built for a fupa...i wouldn't mind going up to a UK14 but I'd been too afraid that the front would be too baggy. Which is weird, it fit everywhere else on my 46.5" hip and i also did not like that they are very low rise. Just a personal preference because I feel like that cut highlights my lil bottom belly

The crotchless thong I got in a UK 10, wouldn't mind going up a size it was still comfortable, but the same baggy front area was present. It's odd but they are both cute. Also I felt like the crotchless part is such a slim opening not even the size just the cut. My hip bone is 40.5"

Mustard Contrast Plunge colorway

Updated on Dec 04, 2020 Flag this

This bra is a beautiful design with mustard yellow colour of satin - nice to find a yellow that doesn't look awkward on my pale white skin.
The inside of the cup is a soft material, so it's comfortable, not itchy. The underwire does not poke in the skin. The cups and straps are thick, the straps don't irritate or leave marks on shoulders. Finally some good bra straps!

I am ever-fluctuating in size. So when I got this bra, the cups were slightly tight on me in the mornings with a bit of tissue poking out at the armpits, then by the evenings it looked more like ... a true fit. But overall, the bra held me in and I didn't get quadboob. The bra has remained in great condition wth all lacy bits intact, but now I'd say it's 1 cup size too small for me. In the mornings I now get quadboob if I stand up straight with this bra on. I'm considerably more projected now than this time last year. It's really my body, not the bra's fault - fortunately I got some 30F bras from Playful Promises now and they fit wonderfully. Well, I'll be sad to get rid of this 30E bra but at least it gave the cup volume it promised and stayed sturdy over time!

The band is suitably tight for support - no sliding up or down. I normally need 28 band bras but PlayfulPromises doesn't go below a 30 band. Fortunately their band sizes run small enough so I can get away with their 30 bands even on the loosest hook at first. I have tried 30DD, 30E and 30Fs from them and found that they all felt snug as my 28 bands do. I wish they would make lower band sizes than their 30s though, to be more inclusive. Their website does show 28 as a band size to choose from, but it says nothing is available when you search it. Their website states they won't justify it for sales.

The big negative of this bra - the fancy pattern shows through every top. It's going to look a bit bumpy even through a turtleneck sweater. So I stuck to wearing it just at home!
