I got this and the BM Fluo as a part exchange for my SM Tattoo, and after that fiasco I was a little nervous to try another SM. But given how my kusidelko fit prior to losing sizes in 2016, and it was all mesh like this one instead of the embroidered lace of Tattoo, I decided to give it a go again cause the girly pink appeal of Roza is irresistible.

I tried on jlc’s 65F Roza prior to ordering this & surprisingly found it too tight in both the band and cup. Ewas bands are killing me lately, with such inconsistency I’ve decided to go with ... 70s in all future orders from her even though I should in no way *need* a 70 band - I can handle loose better than too tight. At the last minute I changed this order to a 70F... and this is what I got. This band is loose (go figure) and the cups are about 1/2 cup too big, especially on my smaller side and even more so when I’m not PMS-ing. I’m starting to think it was the too tight band on the 65 making the cups feel too small. I ordered a 70E in the Ja Wiem during the BF sale, so I guess I’ll find out.

I’m happy to report the shape is not pointy though, it’s the rounded and somewhat minimized SM shape I remembered. This bra is a workhorse under my scrubs and when I’m PMS-ing. The wires are a bit wide in this size but otherwise I don’t have much complaints. It is comfortable & the lace & satin trim speaks to my inner girly girl.

  How did the BM Fluo fit? I would love to try one and think we are around the same size.

  This pink looks spectacular on you!

  rachaelll Fluo fits much better. I got a 65F - the band only stretches to 27” so I need an extender but the cups are good. I’ll write more about it and it’s comparison to SM, as well as the BM Mojito I had that was enormous on me, when I review it.

  lcl0706 Thanks! It's so hard to find information about the BM cut in smaller sizes. I really appreciate all the detailed fit notes. If you are ever looking to swap either BM - I would be very interested to try them.

• rachaelll I just ordered a BM Fluo in 65FF...let's see if it fits me. Otherwise, I might be able to offer it to you ;)

• AprilGoulding Fluo runs very tight in the band. Just a heads up.

• brasaremean Thanks!! I'm curious to see and about to find out...my Curvy Kate 65's are too loose already and my custom from Ellesmere is a 60. Measuring tape reads underbust at 30", but I tend to like 'em snug (Masochist? LOL)

• I like them snug too! My 70 feels closer to a 65 than 70 and on days I need to feel more 'secure' it's my go-to!

  I used to want everything snug. When I first found bras that fit I went for 28s. With a snug UB of 27-28, I could easily do most 28s & all 30s. Plus I also wore a 28G or 30FF.

  Now I can't stand them tight. I shrank a lot in 2016 down to a 30E and now I'm a 30F and idk if I'm just more sensitive or whatever, but I cannot stand tight bands. I prefer bands to stretch to 29-30.5 and with Ewa I just don't get that consistently in her 65s and I'm tired of putting extenders on everything.

• Lol, me too lcl0706 I used to have a snug measure of 26", but now even though my rib seams to have shrunk a bit and my bust has grown a cup or two, I now prefer a 27" snug.

  And that's why we have 3 underbust measurements we typically take AprilGoulding one that is so tight we call it "break the measure tape tight," where we exhale all breath and pull the measure tape as tight as it will go, then the snug measure where you pull the tape as snug as you would like your bra, and then the loose measure, which is essentially just wrapping it around you ribcage just firm enough to keep it from falling. I can get a good 29" maybe 30" inches doing the measure tape loosely, but I definitely prefer it around 27". I also found that I was taking my rib measurement incorrectly for a very long time, I never could get it parallel around my torso, it would always be too low or too high in the back resulting in a too large measurement. If I recall correctly you got measured by the lovely owner of Ellesmere right? She probably got a snug measurement of around 26" since you're wearing a 60 (or her bands a super stretchy). Most women with a larger bust enjoy a smaller band anyhow!
