New(ish) Bra Brand
Hey! I've "found" this "new" bra brand called @Cuup .
They have a decent size range, 30-38 band and 1/A-8/H cup sizes. They do a kind of mix of US/EU letters. I wish the world would just adopt the UK standard sizes (though I kind of wish that cup increments went by half inch/1cm).
I love the way these bras look!
Though I don't think the Balconette style they have will fit many people very well. It cuts straight across and does not appear to be stretchy. So unless they've figured out how to do that and not have in cut in or gape, I think the Plunge, Scoop & Triangle styles look quite promising.
There are a few in the database, but not enough to get a good understanding of their sizing.
Their bra size calculator is OK. They do the whole +2 thing with the band size. If their bands run small, could be a good thing. But it gives a better damn starting size than most places.
I'm going to buy one for sure. They recommend I purchase their 32F, so I'll give it a try even though I would typically get a 30 band. I'll get the 30-32 E-F(DD-E UK conversion). Given my weight change I would typically go with a 28-30 DD-F (UK). And that'll give me 4 Cuup bras to add to the database.
I sure hope they aren't just another "looks good" brand. Because they look so good and they look really high quality in the close up pictures on their site. They also tell you what size each model is wearing and they actually look fairly well fitted. I am afraid they are going to have really wide wires as they do look wide on some of the models.
The reviews look good, but they are only so trust worthy, IMO, as we all know most women are in terribly fitting bras!
What do you guys think?

Thanks for sharing. I liked the triangle and scoop bras, the others not so much. They also don't look like they would do much for support in the larger cup sizes, do look fine for the smaller size ranges. $68 each seems a bit much for such a simple bra, I could get a similar Aerie bra for half the cost.
@thelittleone , why do you think that they would not support bigger chested ladies? Seems like they would do just fine IMO as long as the band and cups actually fit.
I'm not Sure when 66$ became a lot for a bra, especially in this day and age. Most bra companies sell their bras for about that price. Freya, Curvy Kate, Panache/Cleo, Glamorise and TheLittleBraCompany. Even the polish bras go for about that much, maybe 10-15$ less.
While one could go to Aerie for a bra half that cost, I couldn't find a single bra on their website similar to any of them available on Cuup. Not only that, they only offer sizes :1-:6 and only on a limited band range, 32-36. 30 band is only available in A-D and 38/40 only offer A-DD. AND they're still telling women if their ribcage measures 30 inches then they should be wearing a size 34 band. Also, their full price bras are between 50-60$. They're just ALWAYS on sale lol.
While I know the majority of people don't give a crap or follow the same morals as me. I will always support the smaller company that is trying to do better over the cookie cutter fast fashion company who offers their products at slave wages.
Which I'm sure 100% more than you wanted to read lol.
