A good quality bra, but it has seen much love. Very nice lace on the three-piece cups, but the lace is showing some wear. The bra is padded, and has non-removable cookies. The fit is good. The wires are a little narrower than I like, with a small amount of ride-up on the outside of my breast tissue, but not enough to cause discomfort. I wish the strap had more than one hook, but I am surprised it still seems to support the cups. The straps are convertible to a halter bra.

This is my first strapless! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I really don't have a need for a strapless bra, but I picked it up with 2 other bras from another Bratabase user. And I am SO glad I did. I didn't realize what I was missing! I wore it the other day, with the straps, and I am SO impressed with the firmness and holding power of the band. The band is backed with separate pieces of very substantial elastic sewn in horizontally at the top and bottom, going all the way around from the hooks and loops up ... to a vertical reinforcement bar at the cups, I'm sure to hold it in place as a strapless. With the straps in place, it does an EXCELLENT job of holding everything in place. It feels very secure; like I'm wearing a big hug. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

It is a very plain white bra with no designs or detailing; no gore decoration. My breasts fill the cups with no bubbling, and the wires fit my breast perimeter and IMF, with good spacing for me between the cups.

I was wondering; what are the ribbon loops at the tops of the cups and the wings for. Are they to hang it, or what????

white convertible strapless colorway

This is a nice white everyday bra I have added to my rotation that seems to fit me well. Good cup size and separation with wires that fit my breasts. The side push-up slings inside the cups don't seem to have much of an effect on my shape, and make it a little more of a chore to stoop and scoop, but it's not a big deal.

This bra fits me very well. It's a keeper for sure. Nice width on the wires, full coverage stretch cups with a high gore. The only thing(s) about this bra I don't like is the straps. They are attractive, but not very durable. I will probably make new straps for it out of conventional strap material

The bodice of this all-in-one fits me very well. It's just about the right size! The cups are a little small though, and the wires are not quite wide enough. I also prefer wires that are a little higher on the sides. It's not a deal-breaker, but I may be offering this one up to someone else. I'll think about it for a little while though. I'm not a big all-in-one wearer, but it is nice to have a few. They feel nice and comfy when it's cold outside!

I received this bra from Scharminkeltje a few weeks ago. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> With the exception of needing an extender, it fits me very well. I fill the cups nicely, Wires fit me very well. And it is BEAUTIFUL!!!

With about 3/8" between hooks, I had a hard time finding an extender that would work for this bra, so I decided to make one (out of Velcro). They work very well for me, and are adjustable! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Another awesome gift from Scharminkeltje!! This is the prettiest bra I've ever owned, with beautiful embroidery on the cups, and bows on the gore, and the fancy triple strap-fronts; and it fits too! The band is a little loose. It could be a couple inches shorter, but is very comfortable. The cups are filled with no quad-boobing. The gore tacks perfectly! I could wear this all day and never know it was there!

I love the lace and embroidery details and the pink color of this bustier! However, I find the older I get, and the more I realize I like my bra bands tight and snug, the more trouble I have hooking my bras from behind. This bustier fits into that category. With 10 hooks and eyes, I have to hook it together and then step into it, and pull it into place, and I do not want to damage it in the process. I will think about it for awhile, but this may be going back out into circulation.

It fits me very well. Cups are just about the right width, depth, and separation,

This came from Scharminkeltje yesterday! I decided to wear it today! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I love the embroidery details on the cups, and it seems to fit me well. Cup separation and wire size are just about right. My breasts fit the cups, with no quading.

The only thing I don't like about this bra has to do with the band. It has support bones on the sides about 1 1/2" behind the cups, and the band has funny wrinkling going on in between the bones and the cups. This is really a non-issue, and it may even smooth out as I wear it.

My wife threw this bra away a couple of weeks ago because the left underwire had broken. I was able to remove, repair, and re-install the underwire, and save the bra.

It fits me well, and even though it is a D-cup, I seem to fill it out pretty well.

It is comfortable, except where I used fabric glue to seal the hole I cut in the underwire pocket. This should pass with a few wearings and washings.
