Band: I got a 28J instead of my usual size in CK, 30H or 30HH, because I had read that this bra runs big in the band. Unfortunately I probably would have been better off with a 30HH- I had to use an extender to be able to wear this and still breathe! I CAN wear it on the loosest hook, but when I do the gore and wires under my armpits start to get distorted/stretch out- clearly not a good fit.

Shape: I was expecting a nice "purple" cleavage push up shape (@BrasIHate's purple shape: http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-exactly-is-good-shape.html), but for some reason this bra gives me a "blue shape". Maybe my boobs are too wide set and full on the bottom, this might be better for someone with closer set boobs that are more full on top.

Cups: The cups are really weird for me. The wires are so wide they extend well beyond my armpits into my sides, and there's a lot of gaping right below the straps on the upper corners of the cups. If I swoop and scoop I do fill the cups, but after even a minute of wearing the weight of my boobs sort of pushes the cup material down and to the side. I think I need more support on the side of the cups and narrower wires. A balcony shape fits me much better, sadly I guess I should avoid plunges.

Appearance: All that being said, this is a lovely bra. The lace overlay on top of the sateen material is sexy and cute, and I love the little button on the gore. I wish this one had worked out for me!

This bra is not owned any more
