Another great bra from Scharminkeltje!! : ) This one is a molded cup, and fits very well. I had to add a band extender (2 extra loops), but with it, the band fit is great! A little voiding on my right side (my small breast), but I can fix that. The left cup fits just right though. Wires fit very well with no poking! The gore tacks perfectly; right up against me!

A very pretty bra from Scharminkeltje! It feels great! I had to add a band extender, but with one extra set of loops, it fits perfectly! The cups are well filled with no gaps or quad-boobing. Underwires feel great, tacking against me, and no extra wire sticking my underarms. It seems to be a great fit!

A nice molded cup bra with removable cookies; gives me a little lift with the cookies in place. The straps are VERY nice intricate cut-work embroidery. They are pretty thin, so they like to roll up a little, which makes it a little more of a challenge to get them flat and set right when I put it on. The wires are a little narrow, but not too bad.

This is an awesome vintage Olga longline I picked up this morning; My very first open-bottom! : ) Unfortunately, the garter straps (3 on a side) have been cut off, but I can always add some new ones!

The bra fits me pretty well, but the cups are just a little large. This may correct itself as the bra forms to my body, though. The cups are sheer lace with double stitching, vertical and horizontal. They are not wired; they have a thick, heavy elastic band that runs all the way around the perimeter of the cups, so my breasts kind of get squeezed through the elastic band into place, giving them lift and projection.

The body fits me to a T!

OK; valentine556 and wendybien made a recent request of me.....no let's change that to DEMAND, that I share photographs of my butt in a bra . Let it be known these two women have bound and gagged my better judgement and common sense!!! I think I remember dbmamaz having something to do with it too!! ;^)

Oh, yeah; I think I'm supposed to ask, "Does this bra make my butt look fat?"

I decided to provide these photos in a bra review, so, LET THE VIEWER BEWARE!! I am clothed in these pictures, so nothing X-rated.

OK; this is one of the prettiest bras I own!! I LOVE the embroidery and cross-stitching on the cups.

The exterior fabric covering the cups that contains the embroidery is a tight polyester and rayon mesh that is very non-elastic. This material is formed into a cup shape with pleats at the bottoms of the cups. The inner two-piece cup itself is 100% cotton, making it very comfortable and absorbent.

The bra fits me well! The wires are wide enough for my wide roots, and is fairly comfortable, although, with the mesh material at the front of the bra, all the stretch comes in the band.

This bra is a transfer from Scharminkeltje https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is the first single-hook-band bra I have tried. I have always been skeptical about single-hook bands, preferring 3 hook bands. I just like the extra band width and security.

But I have to admit, this bra's band isn't bad. It has pretty decent width at the wings, and is supportive. It just narrows to a single-hook width at the back. It needed an extender, and I couldn't find one, so had to figure out how to extend the band without a store-bought extender. ... I decided to make a single-hook extender and did so out of 1/2" wide Velcro strips. It would be "infinitely" adjustable. I then thought, if I made more than one extender, I could use them on other bras that I had trouble finding extenders for, such as my lavender Beautiful 1520 bra from Scharminkeltje. By using more than one extender on a three-hook band, I have three extenders that can be adjusted to different lengths, top to bottom.


Anyway, this bra fits me well. I have a small amount of gap in the top of the cup on my small (right) side, but it's not a deal-breaker. The wires are wide enough for me, and with good spacing at the gore. It's a KEEPER!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The cups and wings are embroidered with a flocked black floral design which I find very pretty.

I really like the way this bra feels; very comfortable. It is a pushup bra with removable cutlets, so it makes my appearance a little more busty than I'm comfortable with. I wore it for the first time today under a winter coat and really liked it. I think I'm just a little too self-conscious.

The bra feels nice and snug. I bought it at a thrift store, but it looked new, with all the paint still remaining on the hooks. It has stretched out a little during the day, but still feels very supportive.

This is the first convertible bra I've owned, ... and one thing about the straps I like is; when I installed them on the bra (they came detached) I could install them so the buckles are at the front of the bra, above the cups.

One thing I've always wondered about most conventional bras is; the buckles for adjusting strap length are usually at the back of the bra over the shoulder blades. How in the heck are you supposed to be able to reach the buckle while you are wearing the bra so you can adjust the strap to the correct length?? I, at least, always have to slide the straps off my shoulders, adjust the length, slide them back on and check the length, repeating the process until they fit, in a trial-and-error process. With the buckles in front, I can easily reach them and adjust them without taking my bra half off.

Also, these back-set buckles are almost always noticeable under thinner layers of clothing, sticking out like pimples on my back under my shirt. The front-set buckles are usually not noticeable, resting in the void between the top of my shoulder and the outermost part of my bra's cups. What's the deal??

This is a good quality, convertible, dark grey, full coverage T-shirt bra. It seems to fits me well. The wire width is just about right at 5 1/2" and the wires are fairly tall at the gore. I get a small amount of cup wrinkling on my small side (right), but not enough to show under a T-shirt. The band is just a little tight, but I like tight bands. The straps are wide-set and give me a small amount of lift and fullness. This bra will work well into my regular daily-wear bra rotation. Thank you, Scharminkeltje https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra fits me pretty well. The cups are well spaced and sized for my breasts, with maybe a little empty space on my small (right) side, but I can always do a little padding on that side.

I'm not a big fan of the froofroo "fur" across the tops of the cups, however, and will remove it if I keep the bra. It looks to me like this, along with the bow, which seems to be a little different material that the cups, may be additions to the bra after purchase.

I wish the band was a little stiffer, but it fits me well.
