Too small in the cup and very tight in the band.

The band in this bra does not have much stretch. I had trouble getting the bra on. It is possible that this was because the cup was too small but I can't be sure. Once I did get it on though it was not painful but bear in mind that my ribcage measures 29" so if you are a true 28" band this might be right for you.

Even though the band could not have been snugger I felt like the bra did not support my breasts. The center gore was not tacking completely to my sternum and I felt like half my breast was coming out of the top. Furthermore, the bra felt like it was slipping down off my chest. All of these are indicators that the cup size was too small for me.

I can't be certain if the 28GG would have fixed all my issues. Maybe I should steer clear of half cups (I don't know why the name of this bra says balconette, it is clearly a half cup) since they don't offer much in terms of support.

Still, I am quite sad it didn't fit me me because this bra is beautiful. The straps are made of the same satin that lines the top of the cup and it gets wider at the top, very smooth feeling all around. The lace over the padding is very pretty. I only deducted quality because this particular bra had quite a few loose strands in the stitching.

I would love to try a 28GG since

This bra is not owned any more
