My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
Cute colorful print is what drew me to try this bra out, that and also trying the Pour Moi brand for the first time.
General impressions from trying it out is that this sports bra is cute and seems well made. Nice wide elastic straps that can be worn crossed and are fully adjustable. Interior lining is very lightly padded, wires seem comfy, as does the band length on loosest hooks on me.
Only reason I'm not keeping this bra is because I'm searching for something more for higher impact activities at the ...moment and this is definitely not it. I get a lot of bouncing, much more than my 32DDD - Natori » Power Yogi Bra (731050) when I do the bounce test (running in place, jumping). I would consider this bra more suited to lower impact activities, I don't think I would use it for medium impact workouts either. It was a disappointing try on for me since I figured wired sports bra offer should offer more stability (?), obviously this one did not for me. I'm not an expert by any means, so I cannot pinpoint what it is about it construction/fabric that makes it less supportive than what it looks like, but this was my experience with it. Hopefully at least these measurements and review will be helpful to someone else! Read more 134 more words
I ordered this top in both a 32F and 32E. Although both fit, I decided that I felt more secure in the E. I was afraid if I bent down in the F too much would be visible. Even though the E does slightly cut into my breast tissue, the quad-boob effect is camouflaged with the ruffle along the top.
I do feel as though I can tie the back tight enough to get support.
I haven't worn this bikini in the water yet (as I had to exchange the bottoms for a different size), but I have worn it around the house. This top seems to give less of the pain-in-the-neck normally associated with halter bikini tops. I think this is because of the placement of the neck straps more off to the sides, so I'm less tempted to pull it tight to get some additional lift.
Very pretty bra, but Pour Moi seems to have inconsistent sizing. I bought a different bra from them that I really liked in 32E that had tighter band and bigger cups. The only thing wrong with this bra is that my breasts puffed up over the top slightly, and the band was a bit too loose (I think I'm more of a 30 than a 32). You wouldn't be able to wear this bra under thin shirts because of the heavy lace. Also, I would not considered this bra padded at all; it's just lightly lined.
The band was a little longer and looser than my other 32E bras that are closer to 30" in the band, so I'd say it fits true to size. Good coverage and construction for something that I intend to wear mostly as a matched set and not as a daily use bra. Not my best fit, but it's miles better than any other non bra-sized lingerie I own.
Bra is cute. After a breast augmentation, I did not understand the difference between US and UK cup sizing, so I unfortunately cannot speak to how this fits appropriately, as it was too small for me.
Following my ABTF calculator result (32F) and feelings of sheer disbelief/huge sticker shock after wearing a 34C/36B for 10 years, I felt I needed to test this 'ridiculous' theory by trying a cheap bra in my suggested size and those close to it that I could easily return. I bought three sizes of this bra from Asos to try out - this one, plus the 32F and a 34E.
What I liked: -I found the material super soft. It's almost velvet-like. -Cup width seems to be okay, maybe digging into a TINY bit of outer boob but that could just be fat or skin- i find it hard to tell so ...I guess that means it’s not bothering me that much. -It has 3 hooks on the band, which for me helps to give a smoother profile. -Straps are wide enough to feel supportive without being so thin they're pointless or so thick they feel frumpy. -Just the right amount of padding for me. Enough not to show through clothes when it's cold, but could slightly see it if you were just wearing the bra. -I think the band is a good fit for me. Sits just under shoulder blades, completely level all round, feels secure & like it holds me in. -Gore tacks well, sitting completely flush. -There's a J hook so you can wear it as a racer back. -Only get angry red marks in one place (top of the cup near armpit/tail of spence) which is better than my old bras. The mark locations don't hurt until I take off the bra.
What I didn't like: -After scooping and swooping I have a bit of quad boob on the left bigger boob at the top of the cup, and in the middle (apex?) of the cup on the smaller boob. Throughout the day this shifts to very slight gapping at the top of the cups. -Right cup smaller boob has noticeable space at the bottom of the cup. Left cup bigger boob has a tiny bit of space too. -It comes up pretty high in the armpit, which causes it to dig in quite badly to the skin near my armpit/tail of spence. -Wire channels are quite a bit longer than wires, so the outer boob didn't feel as secure/pushed to the center as it could be if they were all the way through the channel. -Felt like I couldn't get the straps to the right fit without using the J hook. They felt too close to the edge of my shoulder without it. -Back fat coming out at the bottom under the band. I'm really not sure whether this is just normal for where I carry fat or a bra fit issue. -Gore seems to be slightly squeezing skin together in the middle, creating a very slight tube shaped vertical bump. Left side of the gore very slightly sitting on boob. No idea how this is happening because without a bra my boobs seem set far apart (nipples point outwards due to center fullness, nearly 3 fingers of space between breast tissue in the middle). I'm still learning shape etc so will hopefully work out what this means.
Despite all this, I find this the most comfortable bra out of the three sizes I tried in it and have worn it several times, as I was desperate for something that vaguely fitted and was waiting until payday to order a better diagnostic bra. It’s acceptably comfortable, though my standards are probably low given what I was wearing before. Read more 466 more words
This bra is amazing and not that expensive, it fits well, it's a little push up but not too much, makes your cleavage look great !! I also have it in white and oatmeal. It's flattering, can be wear under a tee shirt, dress etc ...
I got Pour Moi Electra Side Support in white. It has a net overlay which looks good. Also has a vertical panel on both sides which should provide additional support.
At first I was happy because the gore didn't poke my sternum, which is a issue I've had with Curvy Kate (Victory, Dottie and lesser extent Ellace).
There were some wrinkles on the bottom sides, but I could live with that.
I'd worn the bra for about 15 mins when it started feeling uncomfortable. The band had slud down out of my imf and was pressing into my skin.
I put the band on the 2nd hook. A minute later the sides of my breasts ached.
Sadly returning this bra.
Projected, full on bottom, probably narrow roots. Still figuring out shape and cup size.
My underbust is 28-30" (depending on tightness of the tape) and the 32 band was a bit too roomy for me. I measured it as starting at 26" and off of my body I can stretch it to ~30" but it seems like it's actually stretchier than that. My bust measures about 35" standing and 36" leaning over.
I don't usually have an issue with straps adjusting long/short enough but this model has really long straps! So this could work for you if you trouble with straps not adjusting long enough.
Inside the padded plunge is a cup with one vertical seam and one horizontal seam. The cup is kind ...of shallow but was still comfortable. It cut in on my bigger side, but the lace and general shape of the cup somehow managed to "hide" the cutting in. I'm debating trying it in a 30F/FF since I had to fully tighten the straps. Wires are pretty stiff - they don't bend with light pressure and would hold their shape if you bent them into a curve.
I love the deep spruce blue-green color. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 80 more words
I got this bra from another user. This is a cute bra, aesthetically. But definitely not an "everyday" type of bra. It is not very comfy, it's itchy and scratchy and feels too "starchy" and stiff. It gives a really nice lift but not the greatest cleavage for me. The top of the cups were digging in the girls and the gore was digging in my sternum. I think the wires are too high for me. I also think I need a tighter band, the back rides up so I tried tightening the straps but that made the bra ride up more. Overall, it's def a cute, sexy bra but I just don't think the size is right for me. I need bigger cups and a smaller band. I'm pretty bummed cuz I really thought this would work https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Time to pass it along.
This is a sexy bra that provides a decent amount of support given its strappy/lacy appearance. The straps themselves were a little bit wider than I expected based off the stock photos, but I guess that shouldn't be a surprise given my cup size. This is a fun one to wear under slightly sheer black blouses, however I've worn it a few times and the decorative rope bow at the gore got caught while I was putting it on earlier this week and tore off. Not a big deal as it would be easy to reattach if I wanted but it's also not really necessary to the aesthetic of the bra so I might just leave it.
This is just too small for me. Sometimes, even though I’m really a 30G, 32E’s will fit. I guess because of the band being loose, it's more accommodating. I guess that doesn't work with soft-cups https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> And the wires are a bit wide/high on me. Its such a shame because I really like the construction of this bra. I love the rose bouquet/long ribbons in the middle, and the hot pink inside of the cups. Lace lays flat under clothes and straps are nice and comfy. Also, on the top hem of the inside of the cup, there is a small rubber/latex/silicon? strip. It seems like that would be very helpful at holding everything in https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
I wanted something with a dramatic push-up effect but this bra just lies on my breasts instead of pushing them upwards. I think this has to do with my breast shape as I know from pictures of other women that it can definetly have that extreme push up effect. Of course my boobs still look a lot bigger under shirts with this bra but I don't get much cleavage. This was the first Gel bra I ever bought and it will probably be the last as I don't like how heavy it is compared to "normal" bras.
I didn't realize when I bought this bra that it had push-up padding, which is not removable. Also the gore presses a little too hard against my sternum, making it uncomfortable. It does give amazing cleavage though!
Pretty! Did not realize when I ordered it that it is a push-up. Padding is not removable https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I got it in grey/black. The straps are gray satin in the front and black elastic in the back. I love the look of it but it is just too foamy and unnatural looking to keep.
This bra is pretty and very comfortable. The only problem is it has very prominent seams and lace that show through thin tops. I wish I could wear this bra more often, but most of my shirts are too thin to wear it! It was very reasonably priced. The band runs a little small, I think, because I'm a 30, and if fits well when I wear the 32 band on the tightest clasp. They don't make this one in a 30 band, though. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
