I got this bra because it was on sale and I was curious about the brand, but I think it's confirming for me that I really am more comfortable in a 28 band these days. I started with it on the tightest hook.

The quality seems alright. Perhaps it seems a slight step down from the Panache bras that I've grown more used to, in little details like the inner lining being non-uniform in color. The cup molding is nice and soft. I'm a bit conflicted as to whether I find the lace overlay pretty or just excessive and unnecessary on top of the molding.

Two major things give me the most pause when it comes to keeping this as a looser-banded comfy bra - the gore doesn't tack for me and the straps are right at the joints of my arms (so I suspect it would be uncomfortable for longer wear). I have soft, puddle-inclined breast tissue and I think this contributes to the slightly off fit of the cups making me pour out the middle and push out the gore/push down the wires into my rib cage. The molding also wrinkles at the bottom of the cups right away, so this is probably another sign for me that the cup/band combination aren't going to work for me.

I tried to go by sister-size, influenced by 28Hs being a tad bit big and my fit adventures with the 28GG - Freya » Patsy Plunge Balcony Bra (1221) suggesting the G in 30 might be the right cup volume. Perhaps I'd do better in a 30GG, but I'm guessing that the band looseness paired with cup shape and my soft tissue probably makes this a no-go for me.

This bra is not owned any more
