I ordered this bra when I got my Rhonda Shear Ahh Bras and thought they were the most comfortable thing ever, until I realize that they are chafe city under thee armpits and completely unbearable.
This style doesn't come in XS so I decided to try a S. Regarding the fit, I can only attest that this bra is ginormous and the sizing is totally different between the Original Ahh Bra and this model, especially since this is not designed to stretch to fit like the Ahh Bra. The band and bra overall are ridiculously big on me, but I do feel that the molded cups here ... actually fit me ok. The cups seem to be the appropriate volume, but it's pretty difficult to evaluate the rest of the fit since it's so far off.
Like the Ahh Bra I reviewed, this one suffers from the same poor design--overly tall band, overly tall and conservative cup cut, tight armholes, and straps that can't be adjusted. This severely limits the number of people who will be able to wear this style comfortably. Even looking at the model photos on the website, it is digging into the armpits and the band isn't snug. The design is just bad from a functional perspective.
The fabric of this bra in the photo looks like velvet, but is some kind of shiny lace. It looked pretty cheap in Black, but some of the colors looked like they had potential. It's very different from the woolly nylon of the Ahh Bras so I do appreciate that this is a different option, however finding the right fit will be difficult in this style.
FYI their size guide just tells you to order based on dress size (overbust) or by severely inaccurate cup size conversions. The S would be my recommended size based on dress size (given as 32-34 bust, I am 33), but this is also translated to the impossible 34-36/A-C, which is nowhere close to my bra size. Even using the inaccurate +4 measuring method would result in 30" underbust, 35" bust for a 34A and 32" underbust, 39" bust for a 36C, which you can see has no relationship to the suggested dress sizing.
