Didn't fit

Generous, comfortable cups, with lift & separation. Rounded silhouette. Pretty embroidery. But I have the same problem I do with Fantasie: the band is made of a harsh mesh material, with rough elastic that does not lie flat. I can only wear this bra for about 5 hours before the side wing fabric begins to rub raw spots on my skin.

  • In this case, the band is rubbing on you because it is too big. A tightly-fitting band of the proper size doesn't move around, so you don't get the rubbing. The cups are too big as well, since you can't fill them and the wires are too wide. You should downsize in both band and cup.

  • Thanks for the thoughts, but that's definitely not the problem. If anything, I could stand to go up to a G. I get a perfect fit in both the Mischa & Iona in this size - but they're a nice soft satiny fabric, not mesh. The band's not moving around at all; it's snug on the middle hook. It's the mesh fabric of this style that is the problem for me. I find it rough on my skin & not flexible enough to conform to my boobs.
