Didn't fit

This review is for the blondie colorway. For the full rant, see my review on the peacock colorway (also in 28G).

I LOVE this color - a light cream with neon pink straps and seaming, with a big beautiful pink bow on the gore. Plus it's sheer! I love sheer!

But that's where the love ends. Everything I hoped for is a lie. The cake is a lie.

The band on this bra is NOT stretchy. It stretched to 26.5 inches at best, and that pulled the already wide, soft wires a few inches wider.

This bra is NOT for projected, narrow-rooted, center-heavy, short rooted, even/fob, firm-ish boobs. The fit was bad (though it was worse in the peacock colorway). The result was sad, flattened, east-westy in my armpits boobs. (For references I typically wear a 30F/FF in unlined freya and EM)

1) Band is way way way too small. I have an elastic extender (adds several inches, not just the 1 1/2 from a regular extender) that I tried it on with in order to review. Everyone else says that Claudette Dessous's have super stretchy bands, so maybe my two were flukes.
2) I need narrow wires. These wires were several inches too wide (halfway under my arms), even when worn with an elastic extender to minimize the stretch.
3) No immediate projection to speak of = wrinkling/empty space at the bottom of the cup
4) Center quadding out the top of the bra + weird empty space right next to the gore because its so freaking shallow my boobs can't even attempt to get in there.
5) straps in my armpits
6) wide, shallow shape = minimized, in my armpit boobs with excessive empty space on all sides and yet quadding.

IF you are shallow, this bra might work for you. If you have super soft boobs that conform to any shape, this bra might work for you. If you like wide, soft wires, this bra might work for you. If you want a minimized look, this bra might work for you. If your boobs are anything like mine, run away, run away fast.

Fit information

On Sep 2015

This bra is all sorts of weird. If I use an extender, some of the issues are minimized, but then I get wrinkling in addition to quadding out the center. Totally wrong shape for me I guess.

Center gore placement:
Doesn't lie flat against sternum
Bottom of the cup:
Can't quite fill it
Top of the cup:
Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
Cups separation:
Too separate for my boobs
Band fit:
I can fasten it, but it feels too tight
Cup's width:
There is empty fabric on the sides (Cup too wide)
Strap separation:
Are too far apart

This bra didn't fit her, but these did
