This bra marks an important point, not only in my bra that fits journey, but also in my black women looking for nude bras quest....STORY TIME!! I actually started this quest in Victoria's Secret (ha what a mistake!) When I asked for a nude bra, the women told me they had dark champagne as their darkest. When I told her I had seen brown bras online years ago, she went to find her manager who exclaimed "A brown bra! Who would want that?"...Seriously? I thought to myself "Hm...maybe a brown person...or snap I don't know someone who likes brown. Ahhh I'm leaving! Your stuff is crap anyway!" I went to five stores that day, Macy's, Nordstrom, Nordstrom rack, VS, VS Pink, and no brown. Thank goodness for the internet. (If anyone wants me to make a list of the brown bras I found let me know!) Any who, I purchased this bra from the Nubian Skin website. Thankfully it was on sale and on top of that I had a coupon. For anyone ordering in the states, their shipping is $10, but it the items are tracked and arrive really quickly. So this shade of brown is cinnamon, their second darkest shade. I would describe myself as falling in the middle of the spectrum of dark, not super dark, but maybe 2 summer vacations away from Lupita Nyong'o. And this color works pretty well for me. That bra itself is of good quality. I personally think higher quality than their T-shirt bras, also I think this bra is truer to size than the T-shirt bra, although the band is a little tighter than my other 32s. I really love the lace, and it is not too obtrusive under clothing. HOWEVER, this bra seems super tall. I have relatively tall roots, there's still a little bit of gapping at the top where my breast tissue stops and the bra keeps going. So this may not be the best bra for someone with short roots. All in all though very pleased with this bra. It's nice to have options for us darker skinned ladies or for people who like brown. Also I believe they are currently running a 60% promo on this model.
