Didn't fit

I just love this set! It's sooo pretty! the pictures don't give this bra justice! the colour is so gorgeous! And the ruffles on the panty! stunning!!
The bra is great and comfortable, but I think I will try a marcie in a size down, as the wires are too wide and I think it would bring my boobs a tad more centred in a 28F. The top is acually not completely flat, but you don't see this under clothing!

I did get this stunning set through an exchange from another user and I love it! Thank you so much!!

This is the burgundy colourway.

This bra is not owned any more

    It looks gorgeous on you! :) Stupid wires, always causing trouble!

  • I have been wearing it for a couple of hours now and the wires do poke a lot in the middle! :( :'( but it is so pretty!! :(

  • I will just see it as a "half a day bra" :D

  • Would bending the wires out away from you a little at the gore help?

    So sorry for the double entry. I entered a comment once and it didn't show up; so I entered the second comment. And now they BOTH show up, and I can't delete one. :P

    This is such a lovely color on your skin tone!

  • Love it in this color! Cleos often run tight... try an extender and see if that helps with the gore.
    I found the Marcie failed to completely center my boobs in any size. I think it has to do with the design of the cup, not the size. Might also not be helped by the wide wires and wide-set straps. I don't think this is really a design that will bring the boobs together a the center, it is more geared to push them up if that makes any sense.

  • Thx wendybien, if I use an extender its too wide :/ I think I'll have to take it off after uni and then it will work :D

    Wanabee: is it just pushing them away or how do you do it? Thx

    If the top of the wires are poking you at the gore, you'll want to bend those tops slightly away from your sternum. It might work best if you do it while wearing the bra, if you can use enough force with your hands in that position. Then you can do it a little at a time until you achieve a good comfort fit. Gentle use of a pair of pliers with their jaws wrapped in a clean rag might help too.

    What the wires are made of is important. It will affect how maleable they are, and how well they retain their new shape. But you'll just have to work with them a little to find that out. 😊
