I haven’t measured this yet (bad me I know), so any opinion on size is based of look and feel so could be wrong..... First thoughts seeing bra was that it’s too big in the cups for sure. tried on and holy $#it it fits! I have boobs!, This bra is my ego boost bra now, it doesn’t make me look bigger breasted or give nice Busty cleavage but so I dunno why but I feel good in it...... Onto important stuff, cups/wires seem wide, and straps too. Cups curve out slowly from wire, so no depth on outer/bottom sides really, inside edge has the most space from Wire, and ...I’d say it’s about average based on bras I have. The top fits well other than small gap in both cups in center, goes away if I put straps further out on edge of my shoulders, wearable solution could move strap placement on bra. Shape seems like it still wouldn’t dig even if fuller on top. The band is tight, to tight really, but sizing up changes proportions in some bras so not gonna re-order, I just plan on buying more extenders! (Especially since I’m contemplating several 28DDs for their cup/gore measurements) Read more 92 more words
This bra is half cup and at first glance it looks very open on top. However when trying it on it becones apparent the top seam closes in too much, giving me gaping at the apex and quadboobs above. I believe it would suit someone with shorter roots (I think I am functionally FOT due to tall roots) or FOB.
This bra is really comfortable and the quadboobing doesnt bother me much but the underwire doesnt sit in my IMF whatsoever as many other bras I've tried.
It didn't fit me right but at first I didn't care.
I originally bought a Black/Purple 44F to check the fit and loved it. The gore didn't lay flat and it was slightly loose along the top of the cup but not enough to bother me. It gave me lovely cleavage and was very soft and comfortable. It quickly became my favorite bra to wear - so comfortable that I didn't take it off first thing when I got home from work like I always used to do. So I ordered more: Almond, Cherry, White and another Black/Purple.
Well, only the Cherry & Black/Purple fit! The bands have 3 ...hooks in the back (due to the larger size) and they fit the same. But the Almond and White both had thinner bands with only two hooks (not good for a 44F) and the cups themselves were bigger.
So I can see why some reviews recommend changing cup/band size - it depends on the color of the bra. Not great for consistency. But I still loved the bras that I kept.
And then within a few weeks, they all began to have underwire issues, even though I carefully washed them all by hand. I love the bras but hate the underwire constantly stabbing my armpits. And nothing I try fixes the issue. Read more 112 more words
I´m so disappointed in this bra. I have (/had) 2 St Tropez soft bras, without the foam+ padding and although I got a little pointy shape, they were tolerable, and 30E (altered to 28F) was the right size for me.
First of all, the cups are too small for me, even when worn without the cookies, Second, the shape is just AWFUL. Pointy + droopy, very bad under clothing. It looks I have very small boobs and they are pointy and droooping. Cups smash me and there is quadboob. I do think that 1 size up would be the "right size" but because of the shape, I´m not going to try. The band obviously was initially too big for me.
Wires are wide enough for me, I have wide root. But for my tall root, this is not a good fit.
I usually wear 28F/FF and intentionally ordered this in a sister size and altered the band length.
General info: straps adjust all the way, cups are soft so no foam in them. The shape I get is a little drooping - too natural for my taste but the fabric pattern conceals it nicely https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> A quite good bikini for my shape which is wide+ tall root, and not that much immediate projection.
I usually wear 28F/FF and intentionally ordered this in a sister size. It seemed ok in the cups but when I altered the band length, I noticed that cups are too small after all. Bummer :-/ I have quadboob if I S&S properly. BUT, I do love this fabric pattern a lot and I will wear it, although the fit is not perfect.
What else.. straps adjust all the way, cups have a foam in them, shape is rounded, uplifted and nice. A good bikini for my shape which is wide+ tall root, and not that much immediate projection.
My shape: FoB, narrow shoulders, probably low set, still figuring the rest out. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is beautiful--I'm a big fan of the "bonus straps" (little pink spaghetti straps alongside the main set). It's quite a rounded shape, half-lined and not quite smooth enough to be invisible under a t-shirt. The band is quite wide in the back with three hooks, but is narrow in the front, which digs in a little. Probably not a good fit for FoT ladies, as I have either a smooth line or a little bit of quadding depending on how I sit, and I have almost zero fullness on top!
Unfortunately the straps feel too far apart for me (want to slip off). They're almost not long enough, and kind of strangely constructed. The two sets of main straps connect with an O-ring (which sits just over the top of the shoulder for me) to an adjustable set built directly into the band. Pretty, again, but could be uncomfortable depending on how picky you are!
Super cute! This is a wired shelf bra. The shelf is on the outside, wired structure on the inside. The wires are not sewn to the cups/shelf. I had the hope that this would support me enough for swimming, but alas, it is still too small in the cups. I was hoping for a sort of "supported/lifted boob loaf". If I was a couple cup sizes down, I think it would work. So maybe a 32GG/30H could make it work, but it fits pretty true to size with a slightly firm band.
This is a wired shelf bra. The wires are not sewn to the cups at all. The shelf is on the outside, the wire structure is on the inside. It's very comfortable. I am planning to alter it because I got it super cheap and the shelf area is too small. The wires are almost perfect for me, which is hard to find.
I had high hopes, but the construction is odd. I found a few reviews on other websites saying the top ran small in both band and cup, so I went from my usual 32G to 34G. I think I agree that it runs small. I probably could wear a 32 band in this, but I prefer swimwear to be less snug so the 34 is good. The construction--it's almost like they stopped making it before it was finished. The underwire isn't fully attached to the cups, it's only attached at the bottom. Because the underwire isn't fully attached to the rest of the suit top, the gore tacks, but offers next to no support. The result is really unflattering and unsupportive. Before I even tried it on, I was looking at it thinking "What were they thinking? Did I get a defective one?" It ended up a twisted mess just trying to measure it for bratabase.
It might be better for someone in a smaller cup size or who has less soft tissue, but it was awful for me.
It's a pretty bra and very sheer. I should have sized down in the band because it seems extra stretchy. I read that the cups run small on this, but that wasn't the case for me. It has decent projection, and the depth was perfect. But I'm not full enough on top to fill it out and the lace gaps. The straps were too long and I had to alter those. It also feels a bit scratchy and I'm not usually sensitive to that. I know I have a lot of complaints about this one and I'm hoping I'll love it more over time. It's a very pretty bra but best suited for someone with more upper fullness.
This is a beautiful bra. The lace detailing is pretty. The lace doesn't go all the way around the band but stops just beyond the cups on the sides. The band is very wide. The straps are stretchy and comfortable. The size on me is accurate but the cups are a bit tall and I get some rubbing in my armpit. This probably would have been solved by sizing down in the cups but that would have created other problems, particularly with needing lots of projection. The band is also much tighter than on my other bras but it seems to be loosening with wear. Overall, a pretty bra. On me, right now, somewhat uncomfortable thanks to the tall cup rubbing and the tight band.
This is my HG bra! It's comfortable, nude colored, and fits so well! It accommodates center full and fot well, the band is snug, and it's soft material.
The embroidery can be scratchy. The tops of the cups don't necessarily lay flat, as they are scalloped/embroidered. Otherwise, it fits perfectly! The gore is higher and wider than I'd like, but doesn't cause any issues.
This...didn't work well for me. I purchased the 30FF first, since that's the size I usually wear (even though I'm measured at a 28G, because my rib cage flares out a little which makes 28 bands very uncomfortable most of the time), and the cups felt big in some places and small in others. The cup felt too shallow, too open at the top, too tall, and too wide, extending way up into my armpit, but I seemed to have orange-in-a-glass syndrome otherwise. It _seemed_ like my breasts should have been able to fill the bottom of the cup, but they just...didn't. It was almost as if the ...cups kept slipping to a part where it was less shallow in order to accommodate my shape (even fullness, not much immediate projection, self-supporting, wide roots of average height, slightly shallow), which resulted in a big empty space in the cup that just sat against my IMF awkwardly.
For the sake of thoroughness I also purchased this one cup size down (30F - Pour Moi » St. Tropez Strapless Bra (7715) ) and it didn't fit either. The cups were waaaaay too small, even more shallow, and I had quadding at the top of the cups and just above the center gore, along with the weird cup-slippage issue, but at least with the smaller cup size, the cups didn't extend so far back or up. I'm going to label this one a shape mismatch, but I think it might work better for those who are a little fuller on top and more shallow than I am. Read more 157 more words
This is a weirdly fitting bikini top! It has wires and a very wide gore (at 4.3cm that's the widest I've seen so far!), but then it doesn't have cups. There is a single piece of thinly padded fabric covering both sides. So basically the cups are not connected to the gore. The straps are attached to the top part of the cup, so directly on the mesh, which is very stretchy. The colour is a lovely deep ultramarine blue, and the design with the mesh top is sporty and fresh. The result of this is that there is almost no lift, and the gore becomes visible. To ...be fair the size 38F is at least 1-2 cup sizes too small for me - however, based on measurements alone, the wire width, wing height, cup width would work. And it's such a shame about the fit! I had seen this bra on social media and it looked and fit great! The cup height I measured including the mesh at the top, without it the height would be 15.5cm. I also ordered the bottoms in a size 18, and they run true to size. The elastics on the top and bottom are relatively firm (the mesh is very soft), so I'd expect it to often look as if they're cutting in. The waist measures 47cm flat. Read more 117 more words
