If you have comments regarding my shape and whether I've got any of this wrong, please tell me! I am new to this https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I really liked this bra in the store, but that was before finding out about UK sizes (and everything else!!!). It fits OK but I need probably 1-2 cups bigger as I measure out at a 28F/30E. It is a very comfortable bra, if it fits correctly and gives huge left for not a ton of padding. My issues other than sizing are that I am FoB so the padding is too much for me and I'm also full in the center (splayed out) so the plunge causes me to fall out somewhat.

Black colorway

This bra is not owned any more

  its too shallow at the bottom, the cups are too wide, and I think its at least 2 cup sizes too small. Idk, try something by cleo maybe. You might be right about the sizing.

  Its really hard to tell what else, its such a bad fit all around

  dbmamaz Thank you for the honest review! I ordered several bras (Cleo, Freya, etc) from Amazon and it's set to be delivered tomorrow. I ordered in sized 28F and 30E and I plan to list them on here and possibly ask for opinions. I hope yours will be among them! And ps - I agree about the overall horrible fit. I cannot believe the girl told me it was a perfect fit... Urggghhhhh so much money wasted!!!

• What is your lying down (single) breast perimeter? I'm not sure a 30E, 28F will be deep enough in most brands

• wendybien it is 8.5 inches. What would you recommend based on that?

  We dont generally have a very high opinion about VS around here. I mean, there are a few women who actually fit in their bras well, but they are horrible about selling bras that dont fit to women who are not in their very limited size range

  dbmamaz lol I am starting to see that and I honestly just want to off them all on mercari or something because I am SO sick of them. I never knew there was another way to measure for bras and that any other brand would be better. But now I know and I am so glad!!! I am so excited to get all my new bras in the mail tomorrow and hoping at least one will fit. I ordered a curvy Kate princess, two Cleo styles, and two freya styles.

• I have a similar perimeter, and am a 30E/F in most bras. So maybe try a 30E/F or 28F/FF. VS sells 32DD and DDD I don't know why the fitter wouldn't have had you try one of those sizes instead, there is some obvious quadding, the larger sizes probably wouldn't have been a great fit because most VS stuff is quite wide and shallow, but at least there would be less or no quadding.

• amandafire thank you for the info! I am really considering bringing at least this bra back since I have never worn it besides to try on. I'm pretty annoyed that she wouldn't have suggested it :(

• Part of the tragedy of VS is that they teach their fitters a completely wrong way of fitting, and these young women believe this as gospel for the rest of their lives . . . they wont even fit themselves properly

• dbmamaz I have a friend that used to work at VS and I don't know what size she is in, but I tried talking about bras once and it was a losing battle. Kittykat212 I would return it, if you have another hardly worn one I would try to return it too, if you can't return it, list it on Poshmark, Mercari, or ebay, VS bras sell fast on those websites.

• Thanks again for your honesty dbmamaz and amandafire! You guys are great. I have been skeptical for a while now which is why I mostly wear bralettes. I just wanted to post up the bras I already have since it seemed like the thing to do! Lol!

• Yes with 8.5" depending on your proportions I think 30E/F or 28F/FF sounds likely. If you're super projected, in many brands you will need to size up to get the requisite depth, even if you have some extra space on the sides of the cup. Foam cups tend to be shallower and fit a little smaller unless you are buying from the Polish brands.

  I would return it too! Once you find a bra that fits the heavens will open up and the angels will sing! Glad you posted here for an honest review. I see the quadding too. Hope what you have ordered fits better or at least is closer. If you need help deciding post again as there is always help on here and great feedback.
