I love this bra, BUT, it's impossible to wear. Similarly to a problem I had with the Curvy Kate Tease Me, the fit is great except for the fact that the underwires are VERY painful. It is killing me that I can't wear this beautiful, well-fitting bra because the underwires stab me so hard that I am left bruised for days if I try to wear it any longer than a couple of hours.

Bratabase will say that it fits, because it looks and feels like it, EXCEPT for the severely painful underwires.

I do not have this problem in any other bras (except the Tease Me, which I also had to return for this problem). I have the Cleo Lucy, which is also a balconette, and I cannot even FEEL the wires on that bra. Same size, same fit, same tightness, but somehow they managed to make the underwires NOT feel like death.

I really, really wanted to love this bra. It was the first 28 band I ordered. I got it off of Brastop for a good price and it seemed like a good place to start in looking for bras with bands that actually fit.
Good: it is well made and the colours are more rich in person compared to the photos; it's very pretty and the ribbon detailing is so cute.
The band fits wonderfully. I measure to a 26, and this 28 band is snug and does not move, but it is also fairly soft, so it isn't uncomfortable either.
Bad: the wires are really wide and wrap around my sides.
the cups seem very big for a 28d and I am nowhere near filling them; It looks like they are a full cupsize too big in every direction.

I really want to keep this bra, but the alterations to make it fit are just beyond my skillset.

This bra actually fit ok for the most part. My main problems were the underwire was too high and wide on the sides, and there was some wrinkling at the top of the cup.
