It’s a beautiful bra but it really shows through t-shirts. I personally don’t really care about this but I know it’s important for a lot of people. It’s not the best fit for me but after some alterations it’s good enough to wear. The gore was too tall and wide for me and I’ve made it narrower and trimmed down the underwires in the middle so they can’t tack on breast tissue anymore. I need more immediate projection myself but I would rate it as having average immediate projection. The wires are a bit wide for me but I would also rate those as average width. The cups are quite short which is good for my short roots. The straps are set a bit far apart for me so I have to tie them in the back to avoid the straps falling off my narrow sloping shoulders.

I figured I would give this bra a try after the other reviews on this model said it was super comfortable. I chose the size based on the measurements they took and figured I could just take in the much too large band to get a cheap supportive bra. I don’t know if they took the measurements differently then me as I’m getting lower numbers on the cup measurements despite mine being a larger size. The band is actually larger so it’s not like I got send a smaller size overall. I took my measurements on the inside but even the outside measurements which are significantly larger due ... to the thickness of the padding are smaller then what they measured so I think it’s not just me doing my measurements wrong. Assuming they measured correctly that would mean inconsistent sizing from the manufacturer which wouldn’t surprise me.
As the cups are too small for me taking in the band won’t be worth my time. I wore it for one one day as is and I was pretty disappointed on the comfort level. Part of it is definitely caused by the band being much too large for me as it’s shifting around and irritating my skin because of it. But I think the bottom resting my belly/rib flare would be uncomfortable with a tight of enough band as well. If it would be a tiny bit longer it would probably be more comfortable, I’m thinking of trying the longline they have but I’m worried about the size being really inconsistent though. Meanwhile I’m planning on taking this one apart and using the parts for a next attempt at bra making.

I ordered this one despite it having a wire and instead it turned out to be the first wire that almost fit me. I took them out as they were sitting my my breasts in the middle. All pictures and measurements I took were with them in though. Anyway the wires are wonderfully narrow and I’m currently using them as a basis for my attempt at bra making. The wires are quite flimsy compared to all the uk and European bras I’ve tried but I don’t necessarily consider this a quality issue as I think most underwires are too stiff to be comfortable. The silhouette it gives me ... under clothes looks quite different to any other bra I’ve ever tried and I think the narrow cups are a large part in that. It looks very obvious that im wearing a bra as they look unnaturally perky and my breast are very much to the front. Because of this they’re nicely out of the way of my arms though which is a welcome change I could get used to. I prefer less or no padding personally but I do like the overal shape. It’s less round and a bit pointy which a lot of people dislike but I think looks better.
The straps are not too wide set unlike pretty much all bras I’ve which makes it so much more comfortable for me to wear. The band is too large for me which irritates my skin but I think the cups are large enough for it to work once I take in the band. I ordered the 40E but like the other fall sweet bras the label only shows the band size. This one came as a set and the panties were a size xxl which fit me, I had absolutely no clue what size I would receive so that was a nice surprise. I think this one is the most comfortable out of this order but I’m tempted to try out more models as they’re a lot cheaper then the other bras I’m trying and I’m not getting a perfect fit with those either. In the long run I’m probably of best with learning to make my own as I doubt there is actually a perfect bra for me on the market without custom ordering.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band,

The amount of cleavage this bra creates is crazy especially combined with the fact that I have some empty space in the cups. The inside is a molded cup, as I have too much projection for those to fit well I always end up with quadboob or empty space. My boyfriend thinks this is the best bra ever. If they had a better size range I might agree. The supposed size range is 34-48 c-e. I ordered the 40E but the label only shows 40/90 which both refer to the band size. I think both the cup and band size run one size small which is also what ... they say themselves. Making the effective size range closer to a 32-46 c/d/dd uk/us or 70-110 c/d/e European.
The straps are big too wide set for me but I have this issue with basically every single bra, being able to cross the straps makes it wearable though. I love the super wide straps personally but if you don’t like wide straps this is definitely not the bra for you. As the band size is about 3 sizes too large for me all the support comes from the straps and not the band. I wish I could have ordered it in 3 band sizes smaller with large enough cups but this will have to do, I might take in the band myself if I feel like it.
All in all I think it’s a good bra especially for the price but sadly not the best fit for me, I can see a lot of people who want a front closing plunge love it though especially if they are in the size range.

Bought a bikini from AliExpress and and the top was very unwearable as is. The cups are quite far apart and therefore too far under my armpits. My breasts would have fallen out pretty much instantly despite the cups being large enough for decent coverage otherwise. The band was crazy much too large so I had to tie them to even be able to take a picture I’m guessing it’s about a 44-48 band wise. The cup size seems close to a 34DD which would make it a 44AA. The bottoms are just about large enough for me. Which seems like quite a mismatch combined with the much too large top. It might work better for someone that has more of an apple or inverted triangle shape.

I’ve since taken the wire out and sewed the cups closer together and taken in the band making it now a wearable set for me. Not a great one but good enough for my rare swimming trips.

So I went to the Hunkemöller despite knowing they don’t stock my size in the shops, they have a few options online but I wanted to at least try on some sister sizes to have an idea if a certain bra would worth ordering in the first place. The people working there either really have no idea how a bra is supposed to fit or their trained to ignore a terrible just to be able to sell a bra. Anyway I decided to play along with their game of finding a fitting bra and tried on everything they suggested in any size. And I went something like this ... : here try this 80E I did and complained about the quadboob and that the band felt too loose to feel supported. Their solution: try the same one in 85E. This of course solved the too small cups but did nothing to get me any support. After more terrible fitting bra’s she decided that regular bra’s wouldn’t fit me and went on to give me bralettes in size large. Claiming as they had more hooks in the back so the tightest set would be smaller then the 80 bands. Of course this wasn’t the case and it was so loose the ill fit of the cups were hidden quite well. As a joke I tried to scoop my breasts in but the loose band made only one of them stay scooped. The result hilariously lob sided cleavage and zero support and guess what the person working there declared it a perfect fit.
It is a pretty bralette and for the intended size range it would probably be a nice option. According to their charts the L is for 85BCD and 90ABC which I think is fairly accurate.

This is my old bra from before I gained weight, I bought two of them and ended up removing one of the wires due to pain on my ribs directly below the cups. This was a huge mistake as the cups didn’t keep their shape and the pain on my ribs wasn’t actually caused by the wire but the seam of the cradle. It probably won’t be an issue for most people but I’m very sensitive.

I love everything about this bra except it’s size range. I knew beforehand that the cups would be too small but I wanted to try out a monowire bra and guessed that the wires would be large enough for me which thankfully is true. It was cheaper to order this bra to experiment then order the wires alone. I’m planning on trying to cut out the padding and only leave the outer lining and hopefully the cups are large enough then, the amount of padding is crazy so it should make it significantly deeper if I succes. If it fails I’ll experiment with sewing my own cups and turn it into a frankenbra. If that also fails I’ll harvest the useable parts and start from scratch.

I never tried this brand before but I saw this bra when walking past and just had to try it because it’s beautiful. I didn’t really expect it to fit because they’re molded cups on the inside but they work at my current size. The band felt like a usual 34 in the shop but too tight after wearing it for a couple of hours. I might not have pulled the band enough while measuring but it seems more like a 32 band from the measurements I took.
I would definitely consider trying a different plunge from this brand as the gore is low enough for my close set breasts.
