Didn't fit

I had no idea what my real bra size was, when I bought this. At the time I believed I was a 23B/C. Clearly, these cups are far too small though.

It's a very pretty bra, sleek and more comfortable than most strapless bras. It is worth noting that it is a convertible and comes with a set of purple straps. (It works better for me with the straps on.) There are 8 places around each side of the back of the band, where the bra can be hooked. For someone with the right size and shape, this would be a fantastic push-up bra, giving tons of cleavage. I rated it's appearance "meh" on me, but on the right body, this could look awesome.

My biggest complain with this bra is that when using the straps, they frequently and easily slide out of the back slots. I have two models of this, in two different sizes, and this happens with both of them.

The stretched band is only 30 inches, so it actually fits like a 30, not a 32. There is only one thin strip of rubberized material at the top of the band though, so slippage is an issue when worn strapless, despite it having the unusual feature (for a C cup) of having 3 hooks per row.

It's difficult to judge the gore because a) it is hard to determine what is actually considered the gore and b) it seems it was not made to sit flush against the chest. The bottom 1/2 inch does, but then there is a loop and crisscross of fabric that happens right above that. Every other bra I have tried on or own sits flush for me, so this is unusual.

Purple with black lace colorway
