Fourth Bravissimo Underwire popped out! + New Anna Pardal!
UGH in two weeks two underwires popped out near the center on my Bravissimo bras. One was probably only about 3 weeks old. I emailed them about it but I know they're just going to blame me. I even did a test - I didn't wash one more than twice (eew I know) and it was only hand washed and it just took a little longer to pop out. I machine washed one on delicate and air dried and it popped out the next day! Never had this issue before, only on two other Bravissimo bras that did the same last year. It's always in the same spot and I have heard others have this issue. I think it's a design flaw in their underwire channels, because they look weak and fuzzy compared to my Polish bras.
So I emailed Erica at Sophisticated Pair about my AP order and she said she had sent it Wednesday. I went down to check the mail and there it was yay! I got the Sabine in a 34KK. I had them do several alterations. The fit isn't perfect but it's not horrible. The bra in itself is a lot different from any other one I've tried before, because the cut is lower and the gore doesn't tack and the bra is only thinly padded. I'm not sure if it's going to be a keeper or not, I'll be wearing it for the rest of the day since my OTHER bra bailed on me! I'll be posting pictures and measurements and whatnot over the course of the next few days for those who are interested.
Ereshiy How is your Aubergine holding up? Because of you I was able to make more alterations and the cup height is fine on the side and so is the gore but it doesn't tack either! The straps are also kind of small in width...
Literally bra ups and downs today!

So jealous! I've been waiting on my Anna Pardal (Fifi) for a while, but I've had to delay the delivery since I was traveling. I'm a bit scared to see that the depth is only 36.5 cm on yours though...
As I was talking about with Ereshiy a few months ago, the depth on padded bras is really weird. The shape changes where the depth is and overall it's just really weird measuring them. I measured with it on because it was measuring 4 cm less with it off. I would say this might run a cup size small though, as this is a 34KK and it's more like a 34K for sure. I wear 34K/32L regularly.
I ordered this bra back at the end of January but started talks to order it back toward the end of November, so I understand the wait! Since I used Erica I didn't have to deal with any hassle though I did have to wait until she sent out her monthly orders which was painful. I can't wait until the new collection comes out to try their unpadded.
