This bra was ordered from Broad Lingerie in Toronto during the Black Friday sale. I had been lusting after this bra after seeing it online - it looks so sexy in all of the promotional photos. I found this bra to be a bit of a letdown, I prefer the look and the fit of SM Czarna Mgielka.

Declaimer - I ordered this bra before I tried the BM Baklazan in 65F, which proved to be too small. I knew that when this bra arrived, it would likely also be too small.
I experienced the same fit issues with the bra as the Baklazan, namely, the cups are too small and not projected enough. My breasts are firm enough that there is no in-cup quadding, but I do feel very compressed.

The band on this bra is a firm 60 and feels very secure. I would certainly suggest that other ladies who need a true 28 choose a 60 band in this bra. Unlike the Baklazan which had a lace band (and was very firm), this band is just a single layer of knitwear and will likely stretch over time.

The tulle lining at the bottom of the cups appears to have zero stretch, while the lace lining the top of the cup is very stretchy. This helps to disguise the ill-fit of this bra, and would likely be very accommodating for size changes, providing that the bottom of the cup has enough depth.

The adjustable spaghetti steps on this bra looked really cute in the EM photos, but in real life don't add much to the bra in this size range. In fact, I like how this bra looks online much better than in real life. Without the straps, the bra looks like a pretty basic black bra - its nothing special. I do not think I would reorder this bra in a larger size, I would rather have a brighter coloured BM (maybe La Gloria?!)

Sam from Broad Lingerie is nice enough to allow me to exchange this bra for another, larger BM. If you are Canadian and looking for a local store to order EM through - I would highly recommend Sam. She is excellent and very personable. However, she did warn me that it takes about 8 weeks for custom orders (like a 60 band) to be delivered. I believe that she allows exchanges for all standardized size EM bras, and exchanges for custom bras that are in styles that she sells in the store - like the BM bibi black.

This bra is not owned any more

  At least I could add some data MamaPagan! There is not much info available about the very bottom of the BM size range. Hopefully it will help someone else who's thinking about ordering this size.

• You are 100% correct rachaelll. Each and every bra is valuable data regardless of fit and for that I am thankful for both the fits and the fails. (Though we all want the fits far more than the fails!! :-D)

• Sorry it was a disappointment for you - I loved mine! I still wear it sometimes even tho its a tad small - tho less, now that i have other strappy ewas.

  dbmamaz I saw your review of this bra when I was researching which size to buy. It looks amazing on you! I think if I had a little more volume (and cleavage!), this bra would look much better.

  You know what would be hilarious? I used to live in Toronto, and I always make a trip to Broad when I visit. Depending on my bra needs next time I go, I may snatch up this exact bra because AFAIK I'm basically their only customer who wears 60FF lmao ;)

  You could probably let Sam know. She’d probably reserve it for you sherrach898. It’s didn’t realize that you were not in Toronto anymore. I wish I was close enough to get to Broad....but I’m pretty much as far west as you can get...so far west that I’m on an island. Lol.

  sherrach898 too funny! I believe that I first saw the recommendation for broad in one of your reviews for a 60ff BM. There are not many available in the size range and yours were so detailed and helpful.

  Calluna I don't know that I really need this bra enough to reserve it, but should the fates align next time I'm at the boutique, I may choose to snatch it up lol. rachaelll I'm so glad my reviews were helpful to you! :)
