Recent bra failure :(
My recent mispurchase was the 38J - Sculptresse » Paradise Full Cup Bra (7715). Since I usually wear anything around 34K-L so I had to size up in band to get the cup volume I need. It has been on my wish list for a long time. I love the cute Butterfly print and that it is apparently modelled after the Panache Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951). I have to say that it only shares the same cut with the Jasmine but the lace section on top of the Sculptresse bra is not stretchy at all. I think that actually makes the bra more stable and sturdy. I had issues with the Jasmine being too weak for my boobs so I had high hopes Sculptresse's take on the popular cut.
What made it a failure? It come up very small in the cups compared to older models like Sculptresse Bellise Balconnet Bra (6891) and Sculptresse Willow Full Cup Bra (6905) . I can fit into Bellise in a 38J since the cups run big and do not even have to alter the band since it comes up small and I can wear it on the tightest setting.
With the Paradise I have visible quadboob and the band feels much too big.
What were your latest bra failures?
Did you try the Paradise bra?

I'm sorry to hear of another bra failure.
My recent one was the underwire literally coming out of my Bravissimo bras to the point I don't even want to buy them full price anymore. And my AP bra fits but I eventually spill out but rather than returning if I decided to try and see if I could alter it, so we'll see.
The bm Aqua was also a recent fail with a really weird shape.
I haven't bought any Bravissimo bra for full price and had no wire issues yet. (Won't mean anything probably) But I would be so much more mad if it happened to me and I paid full price.
Does Bravissimo at least give you replacements for those bras?
