New in 2018 Why I love Bravissimo / Size changes

First time buying bras in more than 1 year for me. My old Bravissimo favorites34L - Bravissimo » English Rose (LN357) and 34L - Bravissimo » Urban Rose (LN260) are getting tired and stretched out, one even bit the dust with the wire popping out. It lasted 2 years of heavy rotation, so that speaks for amazing Quality.

Also I have lost weight since 2016 very slowly and I think I'm finally 1 cup size down. I also think I'm a smaller band size, as my 34L start to feel a bit loose and I had some gaping at the top of the cups too.

Last week I got 32K - Panache » Tango Ii Balconnet Bra (3251) at a decent price. It fits well, but I'm not happy with the shape. (will write a review on this soon as I'm going to be more active on Bratabsae again) I'm so spoiled from Bravissimos upliftet front and center shape… I will keep the Tango as it is a decent and very supportive bra in big sizes and those are rare.


Today the 32L - Bravissimo » Darcy Bra (LN395) arrived. When I took it out of the package, I knew I made a big mistake. The band on this is tiny, as small as on one of my old 30Ks! I forgot how small Bravissimo bands run. It does not fit me without an extender and even then it is tight. The cups though are a perfect fit finally no gaping anymore.

Argh... now what should I do? Wear the 32L with the extender until it stretched out for me to wear comfortable or send it back and get the 34KK?

  • oy, idk. try it on w an extender and decide if thats good enough? compared to living without for a few more weeks?

  • I would send the 32L back if they still have a 34KK in stock. Email them! If they have a 34KK in stock, they'll hold it for you.
