Didn't fit

I had been waiting for this bra to come out this season and was happy to find that the "spacer foam" was nothing like others I had tried (e.g. the Fantasie Rebecca that fits me well but leaves my pendulous boobs without support). The material is actually soft and nice and gives somewhat more decent shape/support despite no seams. But the cup was way too big in my usual size, 30G. The band was also a tad big and I had to start on the second hook. I recommend sizing down in the cup, particularly if you are more even or FOT. I think the style might better suit FOBs. I tried a 30FF, which was a better fit in general, but I still had a full hand worth of empty space where the strap meets the top of the cup. I'm high-set and petite torsoed, so it was far too tall in the armpits (not so much the wire alone, but all the excess material up there). It's supposed to be a balconette (?), but it has more cup coverage at the sides and lower at the gore, more like a t-shirt bra. Another big problem is that the gore is wayyy too wide. Probably the widest gore on any bra I've ever tried. Finally, the straps are a smooth, satiny material, which feels nice, but means that they slide looser very easily. When I adjusted the strap length and then put them over my shoulders, they slid out again and I had to re-tightened while on.

  • Thank you for your review. I've been considering trying this bra, but have resisted since I have the same problem that you mentioned with the @Fantasie Rebecca. The wide gore is an interesting point and concerns me. On me, wide gores usually result in the appearance of a wide frame--they tend to push me east/west. I'm still not sure I want to try this. In addition to these concerns, it is priced on the high side (at least in the USA).

    SavvyL I definitely got the east/west push because of the wide gore. I'm short/petite with high-set breasts, short to average root height, pretty narrow, pendulous and decently projected, somewhat FOT, if that helps with the review. I'm glad I got to try it in-store on my trip to the UK. Maybe the prices will drop soon.
