Hasn't set fit
Cake Lingerie is a maternity underwear brand notable for offering UNDERWIRE nursing bras that can at least attempt to support a full, more pendulous bust.
Since its launch, Cake has simplified its aesthetic, defaulting to plainer colors and styles reminiscent of sports/athleisure/bralette bras.
Now, the vast majority of Polish bra brands offers beautiful, underwired nursing bras as part of their core collections.
Because the Poles understand that boobs may need support + functionality + non-frumpy style, bless their hearts!
So I'd recommend Polish offerings as a first choice, provided you can tolerate narrower, FIRM UNDERWIRES while pregnant/nursing.
Where Cake Lingerie and Hotmilk come in is offering nylon/plastic FlexiWires - SOFT UNDERWIRES - which are less supportive but more comfortable for sensitive nursing parents as well as lounging or sleeping.
Besides being softer and therefore wider-spread, FlexiWires also CREAK but I do think FlexiWires are a useful option to have on the bra market.
The 3 hook row by 6 column band closure means that the band can accomodate a 1.5-2 band size increase which accomodates weight fluctuations and functionally extends the Cake Lingerie's band range, as the AU 16/ US 38 stretches to about US 42
I bought 16E - Cake Lingerie » Turkish Delight Balconette (TD-20-1004) as a BEAUTIFUL lounging/sleeping bra, paying a premium to ship it from Australia several years after it was discontinued.
16E = 38:6 and as a bust size 38:7 to 40:6 the cups are technically too small for me but the soft wires don't fully separate the breasts or tack at the gore so the fit is forgiving. The FlexiWire side boning seems unnecessary.
The deep, saturated orchid pink with a black lace overlay is delightful and decadent.
I expect regular wear and frequent washing to fade the color and pill the lace so this model is unfit to be a workhorse lounging or nursing bra.
I use and enjoy it as lounging/traveling lingerie while glamping, on high-end trips or romantic vacations
