    32DD

    Didn't fit

    I am shallow, have about 4 fingers' worth of space between my breasts, and have slightly tuberous breasts (there is some projection, but not a lot).

    I was advised to go up a band size in this style because it runs small. (I don't even know if this comes in a 30?) 32s are usually moving around and sliding all over me, but this bra stays put, which is good.

    I think it is probably either due to the ribcage proportions on the 32 or the assumption of someone's height wearing this bra, but I have some excess cup fabric (for lack of a better word) near the armpits/tail of spence on each side. After wearing this bra for several hours, the excess fabric near my armpits causes chaffing. The fabric bunches. I'm wondering if I was taller (I'm 5'1") if this would be an issue.

    I have a Wacoal in a 32DD that tends to gape a bit at the top of the cups most of the time, so I was a little wary of the same issue with this one. I did try the 32DD in this bra, but was experiencing serious quadboobing from the lace overlay. The 32DDD eliminated that problem, although the lace is ever so slightly loose up top, but it doesn't show under clothing. It reminds me of the Natori Feather bra in the style and fit, but I feel a bit less squashed down by it than the Natori which is something I really like. Since the band is more lacy and stretchy than my other Wacoal, it feels much less restrictive off the bat.
    Plus, it's so pretty and not just the usual t-shirt bra I'm relegated to.
    Seeing as I *just* bought it, I'll update once I've taken it around the block a few times, though I'm very happy with it so far

    I love the way I look in this! The plunge stye does wonders for my wide-set, sorta east-west boobs - wearing this, I can honestly say this is the first time in my life I've had actual cleavage! Holy moly! Also, side note - I'm amazed that I actually fill out a D cup! The cups sit flat, and even on my smaller side there's no gaping. Score!

    The cups have a contoured inner layer with a layer of stretch lace on top. It takes a bit of swoop scooping and adjusting the lace to get everything to sit properly, but once I get it, it looks ... amazing. The lace is such a pretty touch. I feel sexy. No issues with fit, all seems as it should be. Gore sits flat, wires don't poke anywhere, and the straps adjust to the length I need. The band is snug, and I feel supported.

    Comfort wise, it's not bad. The material of the band is slightly scratchy, but I don't find it overly irritating. The lace edging doesn't bother my skin. I know I'll get used to the snug band, all the bras I've been wearing are so stretched out. Honestly, any minor comfort gripes are 100% overshadowed by how I feel wearing this.

      According to your pictures I think you have actually closeset but splayed boobs.

      I have a similar shape with firm tissue, and my cleavage solution is Cleo Toni or Comexim Halfcup. I guess they may look good on you too if you wear them in a proper size.

    • smjwzhan Thank you! I’m still learning about this, and Is shape the tough part for me. I guessed they were wide set based on the amount of space between them (3 fingers) lower on my sternum when the gore rests - but now that you mention it, they’re closer together (2 fingers) right at the top where the breast tissue starts.

      Here is a picture of closeset vs wideset: https://images.app.goo.gl/PqppRagPShSEn1Qm7

      In my opinion, cleavage appears seldom when you put on right size bras. It's only possible when you have closeset boobs and wear bras with low or narrow center gores.

      Something to keep in mind is that most descriptors refer to how your breasts look/behave when *supported*. So if your tissue is less firm or pendulous, your breasts may appear one way when braless, but completely different in a properly fitting bra. For me, doing a "hand bra" or bending over and seeing how my breasts "sit" gives a better idea of some shape aspects. I am very, VERY close set, but without a bra, it is not quite as obvious.

    I believe this model has changed name to "Embrace Lace Plunge Bra". The band runs almost a full size small. It's a shallow, wide and tall bra, but I found it much too tall and it irritated my tail of spence. The straps are much thicker than a lot of other bras in this size range but they a good for narrow shoulders because of the high apex and the option to cross them over at the back. The gore is quite wide and taller than other plunge gores. It's a very pretty bra and I really love the colour.

    Absolutely gorgeous bra, but too small in the cups for me.
