The mint-colored lace is lovely and I like that the straps are convertible, but this bra just doesn't work for me.
First I would like to mention that, due to the lace, this band is tighter than Third Love's 24-7 classic t-shirt bra. The overall quality of the bra (especially with its price tag!!!) was kinda disappointing. It seems a little flimsy and slap-dash, almost like they threw the lace on as a last minute thought.
The cups are also much too small, leaving the gore to float and bug me (but that's totally my fault. I need to be ordering bigger cup sizes!) Honestly, I admire the company, but I don't think this bra is really worth the cost.
This bra has graduated padding at the bottom of the cups, which I didn't know when I purchased it or I would not have. Cups are too far apart for me causing quadboob. The band is neat, as it has an adjustable back thingy making the front closer bra fit numerous band sizes.
It comes with two sets of straps: a clear set that I would never use, and a silky, extra-wide nude set which are the nicest, softest straps I've ever laid hands on.
It also includes two sets of pads, one thin set and a thicker push-up set. They look almost the same and if I was keeping this bra, I would never wear either of them.
The bra itself is darker than the product picture on the website, and much too dark for my skin. Think darker than a tanned Caucasian but lighter than a Pacific Islander.
It has diamond-patterned mesh trim on the gore and ...the tops of the cups which keeps it from looking boring, and the hardware is all sturdy metal, though I wish it was silver rather than gold-coloured.
I love that the cups are fairly thin, soft, and flexible, and also matte rather than shiny. They're made of a 3:1 nylon elastane blend, which has to be my second favourite fabric after modal.
The label is printed directly on to the inside of the padded hook clasp -- a nice touch I wish more manufacturers would do. Scratchy labels are the worst!
The band is nice and snug on the loosest hook despite being a sister size too big, with side boning and grippy silicone to hold it in place. It's softer and more comfortable than the Deco strapless by far.
For a strapless bra, it's surprisingly open on top and doesn't cut in. The cups, despite being slightly too wide, slightly too separate, and slightly too small (i.e. true to size), would actually be a reasonably comfortable fit... if it wasn't for those god-forsaken pad pockets. They're SO thick! Even with the pads taken out, they show through the cups and make my boobs look weird and lumpy, as you can see in the pictures. With pads inserted, it looks even more comically disfigured. WHY WHY WHY would they ruin a perfectly good bra with these things?!
I don't have the time or skill to cut them out and even if I did, it's not worth it for a nude bra that doesn't have a hope of blending under my clothes. Therefore, unfortunately, the "Everything 2.0" will be swiftly returned. Here's hoping they come up with a version 3.0 that comes in more colours and doesn't wreck the entire design with useless pad pockets. Read more 289 more words
The quality seems very well made. The only issue? The very stiff underwire is extremely painful! I believe many have complained about this so there is a new version with a more flexible wire (called 2.0). The band runs quite small which is great for my 26 band. The cup seem to run true to size since I'm a 26D/28C/30B. There was a little bit of wrinkling but there's an elastic across the top so it doesn't gape. The underwire is too unbearable to keep though. I plan on purchasing the 28C in the same style (with the new wire) when they release it.
Lots of soft, comfortable seams and materials. Okay lounge bra, not really good for much else. Does nothing to shape the girls, minimal amount of support. Not good for splayed shape. For the price, I was expecting something more. Got rid of it.
I love this style of bra and have been wearing it for year but this time I bought the wrong size. Since I've had mine for two years (not the one I'm listing here), the cups started to get a little loose so I tried a smaller size. But that size (listed here) doesn't fit me. Could it fit you??? The bra is super comfy; I never come home and rip it off. Underwire does not dig in. It's a crowd fave!
Some spillage on bottom/middle edges of inner cup, but fits top quite well. Might be a different story if the straps/band adjusted tight enough, right now it is quite loose. Center gore rests on breast tissue. Possible spillage on outer side but not much. Comfortable to wear but does not provide support.
I found these brand new in a thrift store. 2 of the Lace Contour Plunge and 1 24/7 Strapless. (I haven’t worn that one yet). I was stunned because finding a 34G in the wild is incredibly rare, and they were brand-spanking new! If I had to complain about anything, the band in this is just the slightest bit snug on me. It’s not uncomfortable, but I know it’s there. I don’t think adding my extender would do me any favors because the front of these bras is so open and wide-set already. I fear if I used my extender my ...larger side would tumble out. Nobody wants that. Addressing my asymmetry: my right breast is larger than my left by almost a cup size. I have to swoop and scoop this breast about 3x a day in this bra. The spillage isn’t extreme, but enough to show some jiggle under my shirt. I don’t like that. Again, thrift store find, I literally paid less than $5 apiece for these, so I’m not out much on the experiment. These bras are comfy, they don’t support me as much as I wish they did, but I will probably reserve these for camping over the summer, when I’m not terribly concerned about everything being held snugly in place. They are comfy. They don’t make me sweat and I love the nearly non-existent gore. Exactly what I expect in a true plunge bra. Read more 150 more words
Straps are too far apart, too short and they are actually 5/8" but the calculator wouldn't let me put that in. I think this would be a nice bra for someone who was not as 'squishy' as I am. I need very firm power net in the band and this is not as firm, which means that the elastic is what is providing support, not the the actual back of the bra. The cups are too far apart for me as well and I need a bit more coverage or I will bounce out.
ThirdLove makes beautiful bras, and they feel so nice on, but they just don't make bras for my body type.
This bra should have been cozy, but for some reason it just fit all wrong. The cups were somehow both too shallow and too deep, and the band wasn’t comfortable. I see the appeal of the style in theory but in practice it didn’t work for me.
Straps are too far apart and that was my biggest issue they slide off not because of a fit issue it's just the design is best for wide shoulders. I also realized that the bra was hyped up way too much. The foam/fabric is pretty soft, but those half ribbon straps that don's stretch are crap. The cups fit me great because I am a true 30E/DD but upon trying it on I don't think it's worth 70 dollars. NONONO.
Simple bra, no padding. Covers enough, nipples don't fall out but not too much coverage. Straps not comfortable, probably the worst part about the bra. They are set too far apart, dig into armpits and the strap texture is frilly which is also uncomfortable. The look is decent, not a very "sexy" bra but it doesn't look old-lady like. The underwire is pretty comfortable except for the fact that the cup reaches too far up into my armpits and whenever I move my arms forward (think when you are driving), the strap/underwire under the armpit chafes and is uncomfortable.
Overall the cups fit much better than the 32D1/2, but there's still a little bit of gaping at the top under the mesh and if the straps are tightened to eliminate gaping, there's overflow in the center bottom. However, the wire on the right side is very uncomfortable and digs into my ribcage in the lower right quadrant, between about 6:30-7:30 if looking from the front.
Feels loose. This is the 2nd balconette I have ever owned and the other feels tight (32D) but more supportive. So I guess I just need to figure out the tradeoff I want. Cups go up high but for some reason gaping is not too big of a problem. I will probably keep this.
Woah. That is one weird bra.
