Didn't fit

This has been returned before I could measure it.

It has the same issues as the Marguerite http://bra.pe/XZ3t/ but worse, making it unwearable. The cups are too low and too closed on top. The edge somehow gapes and cuts in at the same time. The band is quite a bit tighter, pulling the wires out of shape and making the cups too wide (and I already have wide set boobs). There is also some empty space and wrinkling at the sides even though the cups feel too small in front it also doesn't give any lift even when the straps are really tight.

Cobalt blue colorway

  • That's a great pattern, sorry it didn't fit.

    Yes, It looked so good on this girl:

    and she also looked good in the marcie:

    So I figured it would also work for me. Maybe it's not that simple.

    That model looks good in just about everything. 😂 I wonder what her size is. They did a meet the models a while ago and I think that they mentioned sizes. This one has modeled for them for a long time.

    At least she also has a few wrinkles on the button of the cups. So they didn't photoshop her into it.

    It looks like the orchid bra is riding up her back though. No 28s over a J cup either. Pity :(

    “It looks like the orchid bra is riding up her back though.”

    My conspiracy theory is that they put these models in very large bands so they don't show any back bulges. Effectively fat shaming everybody who buys the correct size.

    I really like how Curvy Kate doesn't give a fuck about back fat in their catalog.

  • I kinda think if you had gotten a 30F or 28FF/G it would've worked out much better for you. In these pictures, to me, it doesn't look like it is too far away from fitting at all, it just looks like the cups are too small by either a cup or two worth of volume.

  • Wish it was available in my size :-(
    It's sooo beautiful!

  • LeProfessor
    I would like to try that, but the 30F is out of stock, and the wires will probably be too wide in a 28FF. I also don't want to pay 6 Pounds of shipping for a 14.5 Pound bra.

  • uuuugh! totally sucks when they dont offer free return/exchange shipping. especially if the customer wants to try a different bra, they should def.offer free shipping for that!
