Tutti Rouge » All bra adventures

Tutti Rouge

I finally received my Tutti Rouge purchase. I have been a bit apprehensive about the credibility of Celebrar Lingerie, but alas they are real people! I'm a bit disappointed because my purchase was made August 1, and it was supposedly dispatched on August 3 by the owner. My surprise when it actually shipped out on August 14... -_- But alas, it made it to Canada in one piece.

My first impressions is that these bras look VERY large right out of the package! I was a bit scared of not filling them out, when in fact it would be the opposite.

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the fit, but the bras themselves were gorgeous. I ordered the Frankie in mint blue and the Lottie in pink, both in 28F. They both had wide wires, similar to old Curvy Kate.

The Frankie bra is cuter in pictures, it is a Tiffany blue-green in real life. The promotional pictures made it seem more blue but Tiffany blue is my favourite colour so I love it design-wise. The Lottie is shinier than I would have liked, but it's very gorgeous.

I get orange in a glass in both, but the effect is more severe in the Lottie plunge (!!). I would have expected a padded bra to hide fit troubles. I get wrinkles in the Frankie even though I obviously fill the cup out, but I'm not sure if it's because of the way it was flattened while shipped or it was sewn with excess material on the shell of the bra. There is at least a two inch space between my boob crease and the wire in the Lottie :/

I get a rounded profile in the Frankie, while my boobs are very pointy in the Lottie. Maybe I will post fitting help later. Both have low gores, which I like (high gores are uncomfortable for me). The wires are comfortable and don't press into my body painfully like CK. The band seems like a standard 28 to me.

I'm a bit skeptical of saying that the Frankie would be suitable for shallow boobs, but the Lottie DEFINITELY is. The Lottie is DEFINITELY not suited for bottom heavy or narrow breasts. I think it would work best for full on top and shallow. I think I need a 28FF in the Lottie but the wires would be too large for my very narrow breasts.

I'm especially disappointed with the bad fit of my Lottie. I don't know if it was also caused by the way it was wrinkled through transit or it would get better with washing. Maybe TR is not my brand. I'm a bit of an idiot for not listening to reviews, but they are indeed very bad for deep and narrow boobs. Ugh. I hope shallow-boobed girls enjoy this brand!

EDIT: Tried the Frankie again and I love it! It reminds me of a lower cut and girlier version of the Cleo Lucy. Works great for short boobs!
