I got this Bombshell Bra after seeing one of my sisters that I loved the look of. Hers was a little different with a different design in the back, but this one was up my alley as far as looks. I do like that Victoria Secret seems to have more designs and styles for bras but they're size range is too narrow. I got this more for short term bedroom wear, but ended up putting it back on one morning and wore it for a chunk of the day recently and was reminded again why I stopped wearing padded VS. First of all, these have so much Padding. ... I do like that it kind of pushes and lifts me up to make up for my lack of upperfullness, but even this caused some quadding in a 32DD. The Padding was also way too annoying and excessive. The cups are a little wide and I feel like it does make me look larger, but I now prefer the right bra that's constructed to have a better fit and a more subtle yet decent lift. Bras with Padding helps hide my assemtry (size and different root) but I will not be buying another bombshell. By later in the afternoon my back ached. These bands are stretchy and being. Front clasp it can not be tightened with wear. The wrong bra really exacerbates my back issues, and I spent the rest of my evening uncomfortable. This bra is pretty, but quickly became uncomfortable. I think I am going to gift this to my sister who will only wear these. (I have made subtle but not pushy attempts to convince her to try other brands and branch out, but for now this is what she likes so that's okay with me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> )

This is a beautiful bra. I got a chance to measure and check out someone's recent purchase for this 30H Gorsenia Bra. When looking it up it looks to be the " Aspen Black Lace Padded Underwired Balcony Bra " by Gorsenia (K-492) which is not on here yet. The buyer thought this was a maternity/nursing bra but I am not sure if it is. This bra is too large in the cup for me at my current size and measurments but this is still an impressive beautiful comfortable bra.
The Padding of the bra is thin, it actually suprised me how light the ... padding was but its doesn't feel cheap. The pink cups have three parts separated by two seams. There is a layer of black mesh that goes over the entire exterior making the look almost grey in color with a decorative pattern between the two seams. The wings and band are made out of a sturdy fine mesh. It feels like it could be scratchy on the skin but I didn't notice that when trying it on. There's a little jewl at the gore and two bows where the bra straps hook on. The bra ends can be removed and I assume this bra could be worn multiple ways. There is no push up but there are cookie pockets, no cookies were included with it though. The cloth that contains the pocket is not connected to the bra at the top comes back quite a bit and I am not sure what the purpose of this is? The gore is a bit taller than my personal preference but It feels like it allows for inner projection and seems like it is open enough to accommodate overall and some upperfullness but a little hard to tell with it being too big.
I am happy I got to try on and check out this bra, I have been curious about the brand Gorsenia. The bras light but very well made and I think it's lovely. I love black Lacey bras and also like bras that are pink like the inner cups so this is ideal look wise for me. I Hope I get an oppertunity to own one myself one day, I will be returning this to my family member though.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Has cookie pockets but also seems like there's cloth inside that may have been added to somehow make it a maternity/nursing bra?

This bra was an Impulse buy I regret buying. I had a feeling it wouldn't work well for me. At the time I bought it I had more volume to my chest. I got the size Medium because I knew the cups of the small would be way too small. Unfortunately, like my second hand Victoria Secret Sports Bra the Medium stretched way too big with the underbust. I only wore this a few times and it stretched a lot. if I wear a bra with no underwire it really needs to be supportive so this does not do it for me. Also the Criss Cross straps stretched and don't adjust. So this has never been a solid fit for my ~#uk 30FF chest. The bra is cute but would be a better match for someone with more self supporting tissue and probably a smaller cup size. The pink is cute but I hope to find a better supportive pretty black Bralette.

I have to come back and measure this bra when I take it off because I’m currently wearing this.

I had trouble finding this bra on Bratabase, I hope this is the right spot to put it. I remember seeing the name “Marica” on Bratabase and liked it, and randomly came across one secondhand on another selling app. It’s tagged 28GG from BOB but then seller says it’s a 60J Comexim Sizing. That sounds about right, compared to a few other bras I have tagged with Comexim sizing. This Padded Plubge bra is gorgeous, and while it’s does not totally fit, it’s a little small (especially at certain ... times of the month) but it feels a lot better fitting than some other bras I’ve tried recently. It fits much better than my 28G Gloria Plunge, which is way too small/shallow and felt like it was sitting on my breasts (maybe boob hat scenario?) This one doesn’t have an issue with cup height like my 28H Comexim plunge, which kind of feels like there’s excess space due to the tallish cup height and my narrow shoulders which can make some plunge cuts go slack. I’m thinking some Comexim plunges might be a little too shallow where I need them. This one does feel like it contains me, I’m just mostly center full and close set when supported so I have quadding. This feels two cup sizes larger than my 28G Gloria plunge, which is wayy too small. I have to measure both. I’m deffiitly getting rid of the Smaller one but may keep this one, since my weight can fluctuate and change my cup size some.


Other notes. I find this very comfortable. Some comexim 28 / 60 bands are a bit firm for me (my underbust measures 28inches normally) not sure if it’s because this was slightly preowned or if it’s just not as firm as others. or has 3 rows of 3 hooks, which I like (I prefer bras with more than 2 clasps) I also like the wire shape. Sometimes the gore wires kind of come up on my tissue, but that’s because I’m very centerfull and it’s not a prefer fit. I love the black lace over tan overlay.

I took the opportunity to try this bra; but unfortunately it does not fit well, largely due to the big band. This is a 34FF Comexim Clara plunge that I got in great preowned condition. I love the Navy blue lace overlay, which feels less harsh against my pale skin than black does, and the color and design almost reminds me of my Victoria 2HC. I chanced getting this bra even though I wear a smaller band, because it was reasonably priced and I have some very short firm Comexim bra bands, one I wear with an extender. I normally wear 28, 30, and some 32 bands, so ... I thought this 34FF comexim plunge might work on a tighter set of hooks. I was also curious about how the cups scale in a larger band. This bra was preowned with very light wear in great condition, with no signs of the elastic being pulled or damaged. It is one of the stretchiest Comexim bands I’ve ever had. It easily stretches to at least 42 inches and maximally at 44inches+ before I feel worried about deforming the elastic. The oversized band (for my body) causes the classic issue of the band riding up significantly and over tightening the straps, and which slightly impacts the fit of the cups. The gore also does not tack against my sternum. The tagged size is 34FF so I believe this is from Breakout Bras or another boutique, rather than directly from Comexim. The volume of the cups isn’t too off for my bust size and the cups aren’t too wide, maybe a little shallow at the bottom. I have some other Comexim plunges tagged similarly in their “UK” sizing, my best fitting comexim plunges are a 28GG, 28H, and a 30G bikini top (although the 30G and 28GG are definitely small in the cups, the 28H may also be small but slightly small with other small fit issues). I wear a larger cup size in the half cups and I’ve noticed an issue where if I size up appropriately in cups they end up being too tall and a bit too wide. I’m asymmetrical and prefer to fit to my smaller side. The plunges may not have enough projection where I need either, I’m very center full when supported with fairly soft tissue. My issue with their plunges extends to other bra brands and other clothing items with a deep plunging necklines, often V neck plunge tops don’t sit “taut” on me, I believe it’s because I am very short statured with a short torso with narrow shoulders, overall petite. I’ve liked some of my Comexim 3HCs and hope to try more of them, and more styles of Ewa Michalak bras. I like this bra and would be interested in trying it in another size with a smaller band. And hope to get more similar looking bras. I think there bands vary quite a bit; but this one seems very stretchy.

This Bra is lovely, I received it from another user. I had obtained two bras on here around that day, one a Comexim 60H 3HC padded half cup and this mint Plunge. I kept mistaking this bra for a half cup because it's not very tall. I really love this bra, but it is certainly too small, giving me a good amount of quad boob when I scoop and swoop. I thought this size would fit, I had a size 60J Comexim padded Plunge that was too big and wide in the cups, so I thought this 55HH Plunge and the 60H padded Plunge would fit but they ... are a lot smaller.
I LOVE the construction of this bra though. Like most Comexim bras it is well made, with more narrow wires tailored to support and bring in the breasts. This bra reminds me more of my other padded half cups than it does my hot chocolate Plunge but has different seams inside and alightly different construction. I love bras with vertical seams, but this one is the Plunge and has one vertical seam around the middle dividing up two panels. This vertical seam leads up the inner bra leading up to another attachef pannel that stretches along the tops of the cups. This top panel is about 1 to 1.5inches wide and actually has another thinner seam stitched inside it about 2/3 of the way up this pannel. I think that was done to secure the green lace on the outer portion of the bra, but i think it also subtly curves the edge of the Bra inward making it slightly less open at the top. I dont sew, which means I may have misspoke or be incorrect but I always appreciate the details in my bras, especially my Polish bras. The Top didn't feel too open and I think if I had a fitting size it wouldn't feel too closed either. It fits closer to my 28E unlined cleo and reminds me of it with shape.

This Bra is so comfortable, I wish this bra was a little bigger. I am not at my thinnest but I still think this bra may be too small even if I lose more weight. My 60M bikini top is a bit too big, I am having a hard time figuring out my sizes in the different cuts. I have lost overall fullness and volume and my tissue is softer up top now, so I think I am more FOB and Center full (though less Intensely centerfull than before)

I usually dislike greens but this soft pastel mint green is cute with subtle floral prints. I love that the straps are not so far apart so there's no slippage and I am not tempted to alter/move them in nor am I pulling the straps in at an angle when I'm wearing the bra. I am very petite and I think my breasts and shoulders are fairly narrow. My nipples are spaced farther apart when unsupported. My breasts behave very differently when supported though becoming very clearly close set. I believe I am fairly projected. I love Polish bras just wanting to figure out sizing before ordering bras with alterations. One of my breasts is more narrow, higher and smaller than the other. My ideal wire width lives somewhere between 5 and 6 inches but I havnt figured out which is most ideal for both breasts and what depth and cup heights work best. The Padding on this bra is perfect, not too excessive. This did NOT come with cookie inserts. I will probably trade this one on here or find a new home. The seller was super sweet too(it was never marked as shipped)

I love this pretty little bra, I wish it was a better fit. When I scoop and swoop it looks way too small and a 55 band is too tight, even after having previous owners.

Editing to add. Someone helped me realize my other Comexim Plunge (Size 28J) was ordered through Breakout Bras rather than Comexim itself so the 28J did not equal Comexims 60J (actually more like a Comexim 60L) I tried to gauge the fit and size down based on what i thought was a 60J and I was so confused how this one was as small as it was. Also. I had stopped corsetting with conical shaped corsets, now my ribs are close to 28 so I will stick with 60, 65 (maybe 70) bands depending. I have since found. 65HH Padded Plunge Bikini from Comexim that fits great so I may look for other plunges around that size.

This Fantasie Caroline Plunge Bra was one of two bras that I got in the mail today in size UK30FF. This Bra is lovely with its beautiful design, fabric and construction but unfortunately the Bra isnt right for me. After black lingerie, delicate pink florals are my next favorite choice. I find this bra so pretty, and wish it fit me.
The 3 part construction reminds me of my other Fantasie Bra (Fusion 30G) The wires are less firm and uncomfortable than my Fusion, but still firmer than the underwire of some other bras I own. The construction of the cups brings my breasts ... forward which isn't bad. The cups shape isn't ideal for me, it feels like it's wide and tall at the wrong places and narrow in others. It's not super uncomfortable, but its not very flattering on me either. The top of the cups is kind of closed in so there's not much for cleavage on me (despite this being a Plunge style) I also feel like because I am petite and my shoulders are narrow, it can can change up how the Bra sits. I pulled the Bra straps outwards farther than where they sit comfortably on my shoulders and it changed the fit of the Bra cups..The straps aren't too far apart or too close together, I am under 4 ft 9 and my ribcage has more depth than width so proportionally I think my narrow body and short stature just changes how it sits on me. This is a 30 band worn on the tightest setting, 28 bands are much better but it's so much easier to find the larger size that sometimes I go for it and pray the band is firm. The Band works for now but with much wear it would stretch and put strain on my shoulders. This bra is lovely and probably looks great on others but unfortunately it is not the Bra for me so J will likely rehome this one. The Freya Bra from today fit better at least so I am not too bummed.

When I first got this bra I had gained weight and was trying to squeeze into VS 34DDD and 36DD. I lost a few pounds and decided to try this brand. I had heard the band was firm and to size up in the band. I had already realized my band size was way too big, but instead of a 32 I got the 34DD. When I got it, I did not measure it, but wish I had. [Or If I did I wish I remember, I vaguely think it was like 30 inches) I believe the band did start off rather firm, because it felt very tight ... when I first put it on. The band actually probably fit then, but I had to wear it on the largest at first, I was so use to my stretched out Vs bras and remember lining the two up next to each other and seeing how much bigger the band on my 34VS was. I think the band did stretch and I also realized how unsupportive my current bands were, I. ould stretch them out a good 6 inches easy on some. I was use to clasping bras before pulling them over my head so I think the band just felt too small then when it wasnt. The cups were too small at first and I had a lot of quad boob over. The cups were VERY soft microfiber foam, no push up kind of firm wires. It seemed like a basic bra. It came in a lavendar color, and I believe is their microfiber balconette bra. they have. NEW microfiber balconette bra on the savage x fenty site, this bra may be designed slighty differently from a previous year. It felt more like a T shirt bra to me. There mY have been a little gold medallion x symbol on the front that fell off. Now when I wear it, I have lost a lot of weight and cup size volume. I have less quad boob and the wires mostly follow under my IMF and arent super wide. The band now feels too big and I realised I dont like foam/microfiber soft cups like this. I also don't like the color, it does not match anything I have and it gets dirty easy. The gore felt a little taller than the VS brand extreme plunges I was use too. But it was okay. This style lifts my breasts up but not in this size, but I fit about. 28FF/30F. I do have this bra, the band does seem more firm than my Vs and other brands. I dont mind the bra, its okay but not a winner.

This Bra is sexy, but does not fit me well. I think the band has always been a bit too large on me, even when I was heavier because I am fairly petite. The 34DD Victoria Secret is the size I use to wear either thinner or heavier. I did like trying an unlined non push up bra that still had me feeling attractive. The straps only adjust half way so they have always been borderline too large on me but I have narrow slumped shoulders. When I weighed a little more and had more upper fullness I felt very confident in this Bra. The cups are bit more narrow than the padded plunge push ups I have from VS. My rib cage underbust measures about 28inches, this Bra would fit someone with a slightly larger underbust measurment. I wear about a UK28G - UK30FF right now though,

This is a nice quality bra but does not fit me. I have been actively losing weight, so I bought this when I ordered some other bras. I havnt ever bought bras this size and forgot that, the US and UK sizes would be equal in this. I think it was listed as a 30D US, which I thought it would be bigger because I wasn't really thinking. Unfortunately it is too small for me even with my recent weight loss. Last I knew I was a 28FF. The band Is slightly larger than I need because I need firm 28 band, but it's not way too big. ...

This is a cute simple moulded underwire plunge bra. I have the same bra in a larger size and I have really liked it. I had been eyeing it because I have always liked plunge styled bras even though moulded bras are not always ideal for me. The bra is black, with a little a polka dotted bow on the front gore. There is a sturdy hook on the straps so it can be connected in the back but I don't find it super comfortable. (I could probably make it more comfortable if I played around around it more.) There are 4 rows of 2 clasps to adjust in the back.. There is no push up, which is fine. The cups are not too wide in my Cleo bras which I prefer on my petite frame. I will probably rehome this because I think this will always be too small, but I know someone will appreciate it.
