Panache Ardour
Oh Ardour... why do you have to be so expensive? I'm practically drooling over the new season's Ardour, which I know is just like the previous seasons' Masquerade Ardour and I haven't been able to locate that one in my size, so of course I've bookmarked the $79 nude color, and I really need a nice smooth nude colored bra, but can't justify that price, and sigh.

Marcie, Marcie, Marcie
I cant resist wearing this bra because it is so comfortable. And then I'm terribly self-concious because the in-cup quad is so completely visible through anything except 2 layers of thick sweater or a coat.
and dont tell me to wear it around the house - i wear wireless around the house.

Well...at least the bra non-fitted rest of the world will think you look perfect as they are quaffing out all the time anyhow :). Good luck in your quest to finding a new best comfy bra.
-
I own 4 bras that are pretty good, 1 that fits great but hurts after 4 hours, and 2 that are too big. I will get a second Floris next month. I might try more EMs if I get a job eventually. But somehow that Marcie is the comfiest. I do wonder if it would be ok if i went up a cup size. or lost 15 lb (not likely - my weight has been pretty stable for a long time)

upsetion, obsession & addition
See, when you wear a different type of bra, you get different body shape such as look like a bit slender or bit athlete. for example in panache sport bra and CK tease bra, I look like a more taller and more healthier. in panache andorra or most of lace bra I look bit more natural and slender than ... other bra. this comexim bra gave me a memories of my youth that I used to totallly obsessed with cleavage. back time I used to wear Aimerfeel bra only ; that time that brand was only brand fulfilled my cleavage obsession. somehow all my comexim gave cleavage that I want to have and it also gave the shape that most Korean people expect curve woman body shape that what it should be -just uplifted and bigger than it looks- so I love this new comexim pantera. but Anna forgot my order that I asked 2inches of gore she gave me 3 inches ,which is slightly lower but Not that I wanted. so for now I have 2 60N bras. I think I can wear 55O the band are bit loose that What I think that fits, I prefer tight. I think I should try shorter cup next time than it will be perfect!

Hey I wear the same size in Comexim! 65M/60N :) You definitely should order with reduced cups! They make them far too tall in the bigger cup sizes! I order reduced cup, lowered gore and they are ALMOST perfect :D
-
@gogobee I have just non-costomized one and reduced gore and reduced cup one too ,which is pantera that I'm wearing right now :) anyway. non-costomized one is just full cup bra I love it but I don't like full cup unless it's just lace bra like andorra and I'm very happy with this pantera one I was expecting lower gore if they gave 2 inches it would be perfect

Hooray I just ordered my final Curvy Kate bra!
Over the last nine months I have been ordering, trying, and returning various Curvy Kate bras. I simply like the brand's aesthetic on most of its designs. I have now gotten to a place where I know what fits me (the Desire), what doesn't (most other styles), what sorta fits (Flaunt/Roxie), and what fits but isn't comfortable (the Soda Pop). ... I have ordered one final Curvy Kate bra before I take a giant break from Curvy Kate and it's due to arrive on May 15th-16th. After this bra I will probably take a short break from ordering and reviewing bras. After the break, I plan on doing a massive order and review series on Cleo bras later this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed my ongoing journey in the bra fitting community; it has been a lot of fun (and a tiny bit frustrating at times).

International Signed, UK to US
"Royal Mail International Signed" means when it's delivered to me I personally will have to sign for it, correct? royalmail.com says the goal is delivery within 5-7 working days worldwide. Of course I'm crazy impatient, but that's beside the point. Having no tracking number drives me batty. I've only ever ordered from the UK once before, it wasn't tracked or signed for, and it got here in a week. If it was shipped 4/27, which is two weeks ago as of tomorrow, how much longer should I give it before I try to contact the seller?

is it ebay? contact to seller !
-
Anytime you order something from another country, it has to be processed through customs in your country before the post office can proceed with delivery. Customs processing times are not guaranteed, so sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks to get a package. It's not in the seller's control. Also, those shipping estimate times are just that....estimates. They are not set in stone.
But, if you paid for mail "signed for", it should have a tracking number. I'd email to ask for it.

Good longlines/bustiers/basques/torsolettes in smaller band sizes
I've been looking everywhere for something that has a lower back, is strapless, and doesn't leave that dreaded muffin from ending at the low waist. The dress I'm wanting support for is a mid-back halter with a snug column/straight shape. I have above-hip padding, so something that ends at the hip is ideal. I tried the 32F ... - Panache » Special Occasions Basque (5217) , but he cups ran like a 32H (12-inch depth). It also ended a bit high and created said muffin on me. Any ideas?
I am typically wearing a 30FF in padded Freyas, a 32E/F in unlined Cleos, a 30G in padded Cleos, and a 30FF in Claudette, for reference.

Bustiers and such fit VERY MUCH smaller and tighter in the torso, so you can probably fit most 32s and even in some cases might need a 34--which actually puts you in matrix sizes. I'd try a bridal boutique or Amazon.

Kostar
Anyone know anything about this brand?
Found a pretty, and cheap, set on ebay and I'm tempted.
But, cheap or not, if it's terrible quality I'd rather pass.Filed under Bras ups and downs

Sadly there's only one bra on the site and without a review :(. If anybody has more bras of them they're keeping it to themselves :P
If you end up getting one you could add it Kostar ;)
-
If I get it, I will add it for sure.
I haven't decided yet. It's very pretty, but I'd have to sister size myself into it. That combined with unknown quality has me hesitating. -

Best unlined bra with a low gore?
My best fitting bra at the moment is Comexim Basic in 65H, I get a teeny bit of quadboob, and the band feels too tight after about 8 hours, but I don't think either of those problems are enough to go to a 70H instead. The gore height of 2.7" is definitely my max, I'm going to order my ... next Comexim purchase with a lowered gore.
The only unlined plunge I've tried was a Freya Fan-tastic 28G, and it was a disaster, it was far too large in the cups, and I didn't have much hope for the shape, so I didn't bother exchanging it for a 28F or FF.
I know the usual advice for an unlined bra that gives a round shape would be Cleo Lucy, but my sternum hurts just looking at pictures of it. Besides Comexim Ginger, what else is there?

What to buy on Bare Necessities?
Looking for suggestions! I have a 30% off code, and would like to find a bra that works for my narrow and projected boobs. The code doesn't work for Eveden brands (Freya, etc), but nearly all other brands. I generally wear a UK 32H/34GG. And....go!

Perhaps Cleo? Maybe Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) or Cleo Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) (and/or sister cuts)?
-
Agreeing with BumbleBean ! I'm also narrow/projected and I would also recommend the Cleo Minnie, especially if you're an even/FOT-ish shape. The Jasmine works well on me too, but in a cup size down (so I'm a 30F, but I get a 30E in Jasmine). Hope that helps any!

Victoria's Secret
I received some cards in the mail, one for a free panty and another for $10 off of a bra. I don't use the bra coupons, but I do like the panties so I headed in to find them.
The lady that showed me the free ones was super nice and friendly. She showed me the panties and then asked ... if I wanted to use the bra card. I told her they didn't carry my size. She rolls her eyes and asks what size I *think* I wear and I told her a 28E. "Well, that doesn't exist" she says and I proceed to show her my bra tag (which was actually an altered 28F). I thought her head would explode, and she started spluttering and trying to get me to try a 34DD since I'd find the looser band so much more comfortable.
Ha! VS is always a good time.

lol. I'd love to see them try that crap on me. Their online calculator claims I'm a 40C (when I was a 30-32GG, it claimed I was a 40A.). I'm actally a 32HH, atm. I'm pretty sure there isn't a sales clerk in the world who would be able to tell me I'm a 40C with a straight face. But, you know, 34DD/32DDD is what most ladies are mis-sized at by VS. I think it must be part of the training: "If you know we don't carry a customer's size, see if you can stuff them into a 34DD. Smile a lot. Tell them the fit is amazing. If they're stupid enough, and you're a good enough liar, they'll buy it."
I would have went off with that *think*, probably. "I KNOW I'm (insert size here) and if you were trained to do your job properly, you would, too." I would probably say the majority of this with my eyes. I have a skill for making lingerie clerks feel really, really small with one scathing 'how stupid are you?' look. It's a personality flaw, I have now patience for BS. :)

I worked there when I was 18 and I can tell you that that is pretty much exactly what they tell you to do.
The way they taught us to measure was arched across the top of the bust then you start guessing from there. They literally told us that most women are a 34DD, so if we can't get a good measurement to start there. At the time, the only 32s they carried in our store were a B cup, so the 32DDD wasn't even an option.
I remember thinking it was so awesome that we'd get free bras whenever they released new models. I had a drawer full of "well-fitting" expensive bras that cost me nothing (which were, wait for it...34DDs).
Ignorance is bliss. -

Goodwill finds need homes
First off, a bra I actually bought on the spot:
A new looking Panache Tango II Balconette in 28D. Kind of a peach color with magenta embroidery. I would love to find it a new home!
Things I didn't buy but would be willing to go pick up:
4 black Goddess basques, some if not all are NWT, I think they were about ... $5 a pop. There was a 40FF (which is odd because I didn't think Goddess used double letters), a 44FF(?), a 44DD, and something else. I'm really not solid on any of those sizes, I should have written them down.
There were also a couple Cacique strapless bras (36F I think) and I think another Goddess bra (38DDD maybe?).
I do request a small rehoming fee to cover what I pay for the bras.

The Tango is beautiful, I own that exact one but it doesn't fit and I want to find it a new home toooo
-
It was like $2.50 and I couldn't stand to leave it there.
I tried it on for fun and it was so ridiculous. I don't understand who they thought would fit that shape in the size range. It really is a lovely bra though. Kind of makes me want one even though I don't think it would work out in the right size either. The cup is just so short and so closed.

Just like undoing a back clasping bra, the hand is better positioned when going around the body than facing it straight.
My recommendation for front closure bras is to stand from behind her and wrap arms around.

Is it just me or are they wearing those corsets...backwards?

I haven't had super great luck with Zulily. I've ordered from them 3 times. One order didn't arrive (bra). Another order wasn't legit (it was hair conditioner, my usual kind, but I could tell it wasn't the real stuff. Lesson learned). Plus the shipping time is sooooo long. Two bad experiences out of three, so I gave up on them. Based on my experiences, I feel they might sell imperfects and have a messy shipping department but I could be wrong. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I answered my own question with a little Google research. Buyer beware!!!

My most recent bra adventure was more of a complaint: my boobs won't stop growing and it is very frustrating to spend money on bras only to immediately outgrow them and have to buy new ones. As of right now, the ONLY bra that fits me exactly how it should is the Cleo Lily in 32G. Because of this, I'm looking to buy or swap for Cleo Lily, Meg, and Erin in 32G or 30GG. If any of you have these sitting around and you would like to get rid of them, please let me know!

I feel your pain!! I'm outgrowing my 30FF's which I've spent months researching and acquiring in the right size, so frustrating!! My Cleo Lily is the only one that fits me right as well, and even that I'm trying in the next cup size. :'(
