With all the discussions we've been having about shaping, I've been wondering if there are bras that are designed with a specific breast shape in the imagination of the creator, whether or not the creator even recognizes this.
Looks a little like a Longline...acts a little like a Corset...
My Braologie Lacie arrived today. My new Braologie reminds me of Branarchist 's "bra layering" adventure. This bra fits like a combination of some of the best parts of different bras. (And even though it's not a lightweight bra, its probably lighter than a Tease Me covered with a Deco, lol.)
I have read a few reviews written by people who had drastic fit problems with Braologie bras, so I wasn't sure I wanted to try a Braologie yet. MilkAndHoney , who is shaped VERY much like me, finds Braologie are fits her well, so she sent me a "Casual" that was too small for her so I could give it a try.(THANK YOU AGAIN) The "Casual" fits very very nicely on me, so I decided to order another bra from Braologie. My fitter was Tallia, who is truly talented, and a darling. I did not feel intimidated or pressured in any way, and I was extremely impressed with how accurate is her "eye" for fit, just by looking at photos. Braologie fits their bras by obtaining customer's measurements, and analyzing photos of their customers wearing their current best-fitting bras.
After viewing two emailed photos of me and seeing my measurements, in an email Tallia detailed what she identified as my fitting issues. They are the very issues of which merely to conceive, it's taken me half a year of research plus costly trial and error. In commenting on my fit in the Posture "Casual", Tillia suggested for me a slightly smaller band, with slightly shorter shoulder straps. Based on photos of me in a 28E Juna, photos of me in the Braologie Posture Casual, and my measurements, she recommended I try a regular-style "Lacie" bra, (as opposed to "Advanced") style.
I ordered one, and it arrived, quite promptly, today. I tried on the bra a.s.a.p.; walked around, stretched, moved, stood up, sat down, did some yoga type twists, did a back-flip, and then decided I felt comfortable that this bra is going to work; meaning, I'm not going to return it. (I was lying about the back-flip.) Obviously, I don't have enough experience wearing this yet to declare it a complete hit or miss, but right now, today, the bra fits as though it was sewn on a manikin with my measurements. I washed the bra, and it's hanging to dry. Tomorrow I will give it its first all-day run.
When I saw myself in the mirror trying on the bra, I thought of Branarchist with her 2-layer-bra-"perfect fit". I wouldn't be surprised if a similar inspiration came to Braologie's designers. In my bra world, both the Casual and the Lacie contain the positive features of my Freya longline and my CK Daily Boost (maybe with a bit of Ewa Michalak super-lift thrown in the mix). In any case, Braologie's Casual and Lacie designs seem exemplary for my breasts which project sideways instead of forward, and are FOB, and shallow.
I will write a thorough review of more aspects of the bra after I've broken it in. I hope I'm not speaking too soon...but I feel like this one is a real winner for me.
