I bought this used on a Facebook bra swap group. the owner said it had been fairly used but still wearable, so the band is pretty stretched out- take this into account for measurements sake! the cups are also much softer than i imagine a new bra would be. I'm not sure why it doesn't work- but its a shame because its surprisingly very pretty! i love the pinstripes with the mint and rose pattern- not something i would think up myself but it works really well together.

The band is too large (knew it would be when i got it) but on the tightest setting it doesn't ride much during the day. I'm not sure if i would size down, as the band is very well worn. A new version may very well be fine. The straps are wonderfully comfortable and soft, with a little stretch.

When i first scoop in the cups fit seamlessly, aside from the gore not tacking all the way. I'm thinking it has more to do with the bra being softened from wear than needing it larger, as pushing the gore against my chest doesn't lead to the any overspill or cutting in. Once i have had the bra on for a few minutes, i seem to settle into it and the cups gape a ton at the top- I'm thinking the under wires are too wide, and since my breasts aren't being supported from the sides by the under wires and they settle back "out", thus the gaping. i have tissue high up on my chest, so it might also be that a half-cup in the right size cant contain it and it slides back out the sides. the 34E - Freya » Marina Padded Half-cup (1273) doesn't do this, but the wires also seem narrower and the cup is a little too small. Then again, maybe its that the band is too loose to keep the under wires anchored to my sides, and a tighter band would fix all my problems? no idea on this one.

Even though the fit isn't right, this bra is sooo comfortable material wise! it looks awful under clothing because of the gaping, but its very soft and i love it as an around the house bra. i may consider selling it if i get better ones, but for a used bra that i was fairly certain wouldn't fit at all, i think its a pretty good deal.

This bra is not owned any more
