    30DD

    Didn't fit

    This is a bra by Therapy, a brand that is apparently carried/made by UK department store House of Fraser. The bras come in 28 & 30 bands, but the 28s seem to only go up to a DD cup, and the 30s seem to only go up to an E cup. I bought this off of eBay for a cheaper price than they are sold at the online shop. They seem to run around $35 USD or so, so quite inexpensive.

    This is a molded, demi cup / plunge style bra that is a 3 part cup (as seen on the inside), but only shows one seam on the ... outside (the horizontal seam). It's a pretty pink color with a sheen to the fabic, and on the outside it's covered in ivory lace. The straps are halfway adjustable. There is no model name/number on the tag.

    I'm very happy with the quality for the price. However, after wearing the bra only once, it has already stretched in the band a bit. When I first got it, the band fit snugly on the largest hook (unusual for me & a 30 band). Now I wear it on the smallest hook, as I do most bras in a 30 band.

    What I love about this bra is that the cups are not cut too high. I have been looking for a bra in my sizes (28E or 30DD) that is not cut very high, as most give too much coverage for my taste.

    This is truly a demi cup bra (you might call it a "plunge" style too), where the top of the breast is left exposed to show some cleavage, but without the cup-runneth over effect from a too small cup.

    The cups are flattering on my breasts, which lean towards a tear drop shape. My only complaint is that the bra does not lift quite as much as I'd like, so it doesn't give the full, rounded look on the top of the bust that I'd prefer. However, I am almost certain this is because the band could be a size smaller. If I push the center gore in as close as possible (even as it mostly appears to lie quite flat on its own), my whole bust suddenly lifts & I get that rounded look. I'm pretty sure a tighter band (28) would do this for me because the gore would be narrower (& the cups closer) & able to lie flat between the breasts, but this brand doesn't seem to make 28E. The straps are also a bit wide set too, nearly coming up right at the armpit. This is great for wide-neck tops, but not under strappy tanks.

    IMO, the band is true to size, as compared with other brands (and it stretches up to 30.5" at most, showing it's made for a 30 underbust). The cups seem maybe slightly smaller than most 30DD, but that is due to the fact that they are cut for less coverage than many bras made for D+ cups. You could say that the cups are not as high or as "tall" as many other bras in this size. The wire length, cup width, & cup depth seem typical of a bra in this size though, and they are quite perfect for me.

    I like this enough to keep it. I do wish this brand made 28E!

    I reccommend this brand for women who have small bands & small to medium cup sizes (ie. 28C-28DD & 30B-30E). That's pretty much all this brand seems to come in anyway, as far as small bands go.

    I would recommend women with full, rounded shapes go up a cup size in this brand also, as these are not cut for full busts, even as the cups may technically not run small.
