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?
