Didn't fit

Not bad, but not quite right for my shape.

32 band fits like a 30, which is what I expected and the reason I decided to try it. The band length is very comfortable for me.

Wires are very stiff - you will not be able to bend them. Don't waste your herculean strength trying. That said, they aren't uncomfortable. Width is about 5.5 inches, so narrow, though about half an inch wider than my ideal. Still, they don't feel overly wide, and oddly feel strangely narrower than Freya bras with the same wire width (which I can in no way explain with logic).

Wings are tall. Personally, that's a plus for me, but if you constantly are looking for short wings, this is not the bra for you. The wires under the arm actually come up higher than the wires at the center gore, which is a nice mid-height that doesn't appear to stab my projected sternum.

Material is soft, design is feminine and delicate with floral embroidery in a light pink along the top of the cup.

As par for the course, the bra is too short for my tall root, and so I quad a bit out the top. I don't think this is so much a size issue as it is a shape issue. The cups have average, moderate sort of projection, but I'm extremely projected so on me the whole look is a bit wide and flat. Cups are not perfectly round, nor strictly pointy, but have a soft point. It's not an unappealing shape, but not the melon-shaped boobs that is currently trending. It has a sort of soft, vintage feeling to it. I can imagine this bra as looking oh-so-natural under a 50s look, but maybe that's just my imagination gone wild.

Overall is a very nice, sturdy bra that runs off by about a band and a cup. I would estimate the fit of the 32G to be closer to a 30G. Support feels perfectly acceptable, but due to the cutting I'm experiencing up top, it's not ideal for my shape.

This bra is not owned any more

  • That is a super pretty bra! I am this size, so just looked it up- had never heard of this brand :)

  • It is a very nice bra, but a sort of 2nd tier brand that there's not a lot of information on, so I decided for the $30 I spent on it, it was worth a try. I'm massively projected, with tall boobs so it didn't quite work out for me, but it's almost a shape like Freya, but with a fit closer to Curvy Kate. Very, very nice. I think if my boobs were a bit less tall it might have been a really nice fit.
