Thin straps and 2-hook closure in large sizes, who asked for that?
My recent trial of a few Bravissimo bras inspired this topic. I'm talking here specifically about bras in GG+ range or from my personal experience mostly J+ range.
So I noticed a few bras I tried in 32K had really thin flimsy stretchy straps. The biggest problem was not that they were thin but they folded immeadiately and therefore cut in badly. It looks like this after just putting the bra on for 5 minutes: http://bra.pe/IuaZ.
I saw a lot of complaints on Bravissimo page about thick wide straps in larger sizes. According to Bravissimo customers asker for thinner straps in larger sizes. Now they got it, there are about 6-7 compaints about thin flimsy straps on the Annie bra review page!
Another topic is the 2 hook closure also apparently heavily requested by Bravissimo customers who hated thick bands and bulky 3-4 hook closures in their large size bras.
There used to be 2 hooks introduced up to HH cup. And just recently they released 2 new bras by Bravissimo who have 2 hook closure up to L-cup!!! New Sienna and Molly. When I asked customer service if this is really true they said, yes customers asked for this!
I hate this trend! Because I prefer thicker straps that don't fold and a thicker band that gives me enough support in my size. Who cares about the look??? Don't my bras look pretty too??? Can they not be pretty AND supportive? I am just annoyed that my choice of bras got even more thinned out in my size now I have to deal with such issues.
What do you think about it? Do you also agree with Bravissimo customers? Or really dislike this new trend like I do?

ugh. I am not sure how many customers are really asking for that. And if so, are they really the majority? I'm esp suspicious b/c it's cheaper to use THIN STRAPS and it's cheaper to use 2 hook enclosures only (vs. 3, or even 4)
You could still go Polish brands. (Except I've noticed now Ewa Michalak has gone down to the 2 hook and eye closures for 65G size, in BM at least) For Comexim, I believe 3 is standard, at least around my size (70HH), but one can custom order more or less (so 2, 3, or 4 hook and eye enclosures)
I was just listening to this bra review on Polish brand Samanta https://youtu.be/78AfuTjdjIc , not sure if it's readily available, but since you are in Europe it could be easier to buy? You could speak with your dollars/feet...I mean, just buy brands with thicker bands and 3+ hook and eye enclosures.
"I mean, just buy brands with thicker bands and 3+ hook and eye enclosures..." Easier said than done, I know.
Could you write reviews on their bras on their webpage? And know we have at least one Bravissimo Fitter active on btb r.n.
