Didn't fit

While the fit of this bra is sigh-worthy, the construction is solid and keeps the horrific fit from ruining the practicality of this bra. The key to this bra's design is the vertical boning along the seams. Without it, this bra is just another wide, shallow strapless with an inward curve at the top that may be problematic for FOT shapes. The cups run small, but I don't know how much I'd recommend sizing up, since it is functional even with the gore a gaping 2" from my sternum. My very projected, firm-ish breasts pushed this entire bra forward at the top and my FOB shape ensures the underwires sit rather low. The boning keeps the whole cup from just flopping over (a la FOB boobs in the Deco strapless). My biggest complaint is the the forward tilt of the bra causes the bottom of the wires to dig into my ribs after a couple hours of wear. It's also rather high cut under the arms and at the gore, so it's not incredibly versatile. Sizing up in this would make the wires uselessly and uncomfortably wide for me, so I feel this is my best fit in my usual 30G.

    Hi,
    Not sure where you have found this bra from, but this is not final production of this product, so although you found this fitting not to your liking I would encourage you to have a go in a bulk production sample.
    The final bulk production is a completely different shape and wire, so I would definitely have a look.
    If you are wondering how I know this, the final production (and final fit) has completely different fabric & no boning. Again, not even sure how you got hold of this sample! The development of this product has taken nearly 3 years with multiple trials in fit, fabric and design, I would hate for you to write it off because of a product that wasn't representative of the final fitting. Same with the 32F below.

    Thanks!
    Charlotte

    Do you know if there's any particular reason why the boning was removed? It seems like it would be helpful to provide support, especially in the higher cup sizes.

    Right? It seems like they took away the only feature that got a positive mention!
