i got this off zulily as a "why the hell not" long shot, and it actually isn't completely off. it still doesn't fit, but Ive recently gotten a Rhianna (same cut, different color) in a 32FF that alleviates many of the issues i have. i haven't been able to wear this out at all because of the issues i have, so its still like new. hopefully i can pass it on to someone who can love it better!

the colors are very pretty, i hope to find this in the 32FF because the Rhianna's looks do nothing for me, but the Poppy's bright cheerful print is delightful. the orange lace trim at the tops of the cups doesn't lay flat but the rest of the cup does, so im assuming like its sister, cleo Juna, that's just how it fits. the cups aren't padded, but they are molded and keep their shape. i don't get any show through, and aside from the lace top its pretty smooth under shirts. the single vertical seam gives me a gently rounded shape. the wires feel good width and height wise, pretty happy to find something that isnt too wide! there's about a 3/4 an inch bit of empty wire channel on the underarm side.

the fit is off in two places: the band and the straps. the band is easily hooked on the tightest, and still feels like it wants to slide. ive been between a 34 and 32 band lately, so i wasnt surprised. the 32FF fixed this problem nicely. the straps are so damn wide! if i wear the straps at the width they're meant to be, they're almost off my shoulders. if i try to move around, they slide into my armpits and chafe. plus, the straps moving forward into my underarms changes how the cups fit and causes a ton of gaping. because the bra has a molded shape, it gapes along the whole top, not just at the corners like an unmolded bra with too-wide straps.

i was considering figuring out how to move the straps, but ultimately the band also being too large meant i put it back in my dresser and forgot about it. the 32FF still has too wide straps, but its less so, and since the band on it is good i'll probably see about moving the straps slightly. as it stands right now, im going to try and find a better home for Poppy.

This bra is not owned any more
