Didn't fit

This bra really surprised me. I kind of really like it. It makes me feel like I'm a pinup Minnie Mouse. It's quite pointy but looks very nice under a button up shirt in real life. The picture I tried to take doesn't really show it. I can pinch some depth out of the seam in the middle so I might go ahead and take it in to create a more rounded shape. I was sure the depth was going to be 10" or so but when I measured it its was only 9" so it must just have a considerable amount of depth at the apex. The gore is too high/ wide. It's not uncomfortable but the gore doesn't tack because it sitting on tissue. The gore will be very easy to narrow though on this model because the gore has two ribbons across it at two heights and the bottom one is quite wide. The embroidery does not show through clothes except for being bright white. They do make this bra though in a few other colors. And they also make it in a demi/half cup model. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a plunge or full cup. I'm guessing it's techincally Lejaby's full cup because other plunge gores I have are shorter but their full cups are a cross in my mind between most other balconette and plunge bras. I haven't worn this for more than about an hour so I'll edit this review after I've worn it for a day.

Edited to add- I went ahead and narrowed the gore and pushed the wires all the way to the outside. It helped immensely in terms of comfort and some in terms of shape. The wire portion of the gore now is only 2" tall and 1/2" wide at the top portion. I wish I'd done it sooner.

    This is so cute! I love the bows and the polka dots.

    I'm a sucker for polka dots

    So do you find all the Lejaby's pretty consistent size wise across the models? Every time I see you review one I get more and more convinced to give them a try.

    I think there is probably a trick to the sizing but I don't know it yet. I don't know if the plunges run smaller than the full cups or not. I've gotten a couple 30Fs that fit like 30FF or possibly one even a 30G but then the other two 30Fs I have fit great and all the 30Es fit well. I haven't tried on that is too small. The bands feel like they have been very consistent. I've been trying to put a lot of pictures and info on the reviews because I know they aren't a very common brand, in case other people are sort of where I've been with bras- mostly just brightly color cleos and wanting to branch out more.

  • I appreciate all your reviews. Maybe if I find one cheap enough I'll finally take the plunge.

    I glanced at your profile. It looks like a couple of the bras you have that fit presently have similar measurements to a couple of these lejabys so I'd guess 30Es would more often than not be the size you'd want to try if you see one that you like.

    Thanks! That's really helpful. I'm on a bra buying hiatus right now because *someone* can't keep her card in her wallet when a EM CHP is on the table but I think I'll take a break from the Polish and try a Lejaby next time I get some cash flow. They're so many cute options.

    Very fifties! Ok, let's see if this bra is still available on e-bay. Oh yes, it is. OK, I ordered. Someone said don't drink and bra, I know: I only had two glasses of red with lunch, so I might only order one bra or two, hahahaaa
