Ok, I'm going to make a stronger statement than I usually make in my bra reviews: This bra sucks. The quality is just bad. The quality reminds me of those no-name brand bargain priced bras you find on eBay--but this was a $40 bra. The sewing of the straps to the band looks wonky and wavy, there's threads coming out, the wires are flimsy, and the cups give absolutely no support. I tightened the straps all the way to see if I could get these cups to give me any lift at all, but my boobs just sat in them. The only way I could see this bra working is if you have firm, self-supporting breasts already, because all these cups do is cover them, not provide any shape at all. Or if you just like the strappy look and don't care about shape in your boudoir lingerie, go for it. But if you're someone like me who still likes their boudoir bras to be functioning bras, I'd say look into Pour Moi or one of Ewa's strappy bras. This is a great example of what I meant when I said it's useless for companies to expand into a full bust size range if they don't put effort into making their bras wearable for full busts.

This bra is not owned any more

  Ugh. I'm sorry this bra didn't work out. That's such a bummer. I love the look of Bluebella's bras but never bought any because they don't come in my size. I'm glad I didn't order one.

• Marking this brand off my list. Thanks for sparing me disappointment! :-(

  I had a similar experience. The bra felt super cheap (as did a chemise I ordered that felt like it was made out of plastic thread). I had a coupon and I ordered directly from the UK site, so I don't feel like I overpaid... but the quality is absolutely not there.

• Oh man. I appreciate your review. That bra is HOT, so of course it sucks. -_-

  triumphof Pour Moi has some hot strappy bras that don't suck, I reviewed a few recently!

• Sad it didn't work on you!
  And interesting how different brands work for different people. Personally I wouldn't dismiss Bluebella's D-G line, even if some tweaks would be appreciated in future seasons (for me, please make them less wide in the armpit area: see 32G - Bluebella » Asteria (34439) )

  Also have this Delta bra, and I do like it. What you say about lift sounds familiar, but I'm actually sewing the double V-strap shorter (that part went too far up my shoulders). Perhaps this helps, for better lift? (And thanks for reminding me I haven't yet added my Delta on here (: )

  Quality is fine IMO - even if it might be better for the price point (bought in sale, so I was content). I actually disagree on PourMoi being better quality though, and mostly their bras don't fit me right (too wide & shallow) - but yes they're lower priced.

  Anyway, I felt the need to give my (mostly positive) input because I was actually pretty impressed by Bluebella, especially for a first venture into bigger sizes! Yes they could further improve on fit & quality details, but I do really appreciate how they bring strappy bras to a bigger audience.

• wild_muses Ooh. I can't believe I missed that. I just got a Pour Moi St. Tropez recently so I'd love to try more from them.
