Best sports bra I ever tried on-- very supportive, minimum movement when running. Very comfortable straps that can be hooked in x shape. The cup area is only one fabric-thick (with thickish non-breathable sports fabric), so your nipple curves may show up a little--but it's still supportive, especially on the sides.
Unfortunately I bought the biggest size they had in store, but it was still too small for me, so I need to get 75F (which they have available online!) Would definitely buy this bra if I ever have to run.
I fell in love with this bra after seeing it on a website but the price was too high. I finally found it on sale and this was the only size available that is close to mine.
The band fits well and is very comfy with extra padding underneath the hooks. I do find the ribbon along the bottom of it to be kind of annoying since it tends to roll but it is still beautiful. It is a firm fit as well and doesn't feel like it will stretch excessively. It is similar to Cleo bands, IMO, but without the initial scratchy feel.
The cups are lightly ...padded which is exactly what I want. I have several unlined bras now and I still have my push-up bras so I need something in between those two styles and this is perfect for that. The overall style is retro and it has a retro feel as well. The lift is better than any of my other bras (you can tell in the photos. My boobs are just... higher) and the appearance under my knit shirts is great. Not pointed, not too rounded like a molded cup - just up and rounded enough. My larger size is kind of busting out of this though and it has made me seriously consider whether or not to keep it. The smaller side fits pretty darn well and the width is perfect on both sides. The center doesn't fully tack so I need to wear it around the house for more than a few minutes to see how much it might slide down/around.
Overall this is my favorite bra that I have ever tried on. The ribbons and the cups are so unique and it is sturdy and well-made. I like it MUCH better than the unlined version which looked messy and just wrong. It comes in other colors and if this one works out, I will be getting those as well. Read more 220 more words
This bra fits perfectly and gives me a great round shape with cleavage. My boobs stay put and don't sneak out under the arm. It is very comfortable with no poking or scratching. The back is too big and rides up, so I wear it on the tightest setting. There are two bras with the same name, Amourette 300, but this is the 3/4 cup style. It has a different construction than most other bras I have seen: it has one vertical seam running the entire length of the bra cup. There is a very thin foam inside cup with a stretchy lace overlay on top, also with ...the vertical seam. When I bought the bra from Figleaves, the left center wire was poking out. I was desperate and needed a bra, and I didn't want to pay to ship it back and wait for a new one, so I just sewed up the underwire channel. Of course it has since popped open, so I will have to resew it. I am looking to buy another one in a 32 band. Read more 75 more words
Don't be afraid of this "padded" bra, busty ladies! it's just structured, is all.
I was put off at first by its unwashed, unworn shape—a bit boxy and unnatural—but it was really comfortable, and then it wore in well. Great balconette for full-bottomed breasts. Makes my boobs look lush.
Some reviews complain about the width of the straps, but I love them. They're set widely enough that they don't get too much in the way, and if they do peek they look more like a cami. Allover lace is textured, but I haven't had a problem with it. Seams are flat.
I wish it had metal findings, but otherwise it's well constructed. I've had this bra for a year and a half and it's still kicking despite being worn several times weekly for most of that time. The most annoying thing is that the little lace scallops at the bottom edge of the bra all flip up, which is less cute. No big deal.
I'd ordered a second before writing that first review, and the new one just showed up in the mail!
Brand new, it has that weird boxy/unnatural silhouette the first one did, but this time I know it'll wash out. The new one (vanilla) does seem a little smaller in the cup than the year old one (petrol). It feels good enough unwashed that I'm going to trust it, but perhaps you should try going down a cup if yours starts out with any room.
I only wish the cup came up a little higher under the arm, but ye gods I love these bras.
