I am infatuated with the variety of colour combinations with the Claudette Dessous and the look of a sporty bra without actually being a sports bra so was happy to find this turquoise bra through Bratabase and to give it a whirl and to see if I would buy another. I also wanted to see if the fabric would be too scratchy. In person, the colour is great and the feel on my skin was okay for the day. I do not think that I would like a marathon of a day in this bra.

I did learn something from this bra. I learned to look at the wire length in combination with the gore and wing height to get an understanding of how the cup width will fit on me. The cup width appears like it should fit me, being under 12 cm, but the distance sits low on the cup resulting in a cup that is much too wide and sits on my side ribs. The wires are more pliable so it was not painful, but the cup does not flatter my breast nor sit proportionately on my torso. Another lesson learned in shopping for bras! It is a bra that will lend itself well to alterations so am not overly concerned. I will not buy a new one regardless of the pretty colours though, as the work involved plus full price is not worth it.
