This bra feels much too small. I don't think it is actually the band, despite it not being adjustable (it has a front closure) - it's the cups. Specifically all the push-up padding. It makes for a VERY shallow cup which has my small bust quadding all over the place. The straps are also almost too short for me, but not quite. I do tend to sit fairly low in the bust, however, so this might not be an issue for many people.
The back is very cute, the quality is good overall, and I love a good racerback for certain shirts that I like to wear. I also love a push-up bra, if it fits right, but unfortunately this isn't responsibly wearable for me in this size. I intend to exchange it for a 28D and see how that goes.
I recommend probably sizing up in the cup for this one, unless perhaps you are particularly shallow all over.
This is such a beautiful bra. The material is soft and high-quality, and the color I bought (slate) is gorgeous. The construction is wonderful - I don't think I could distort these cups if I tried.
Unfortunately, it is VERY padded on the bottom and is not particularly compatible with my full-on-bottom breasts. The wires seem like they are the perfect width and separation for me, but all the padding at the bottom makes it difficult to keep the wires in my IMF. This bra is so close to fitting, and making my small bust appear much larger than it is (sometimes that is a very nice option to ...have) but it just isn't a perfect match. The areola of my larger breast is barely contained (in fact it isn't, unless I make sure to occasionally tuck it back in), and because of my shallow tops, there is a little bit of gapping with my smaller breast, despite the larger one quadding just a bit. If my breasts were more even, I would definitely keep this bra for certain occasions.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for extreme push-up/padding and seamless construction, but it is probably better for those who are full on top so their breasts can rest on the shelf of padding inside these cups and let it round out the bottoms for them. Read more 117 more words
