This Pin-up bra is spectacularly cute. I got the matching thong. It has lots of great aspects, polka dots, lace, and red bows in unexpected places.
When I was thinking about what I wanted to say in this review, I was inspired by @Calluna's story telling approach to bra reviews.
So, this is a good news, bad news story.
The good news is that this bra is of great quality and has a true 30 band. It has stretch lace across the top, and stiff polka dot fabric on the rest of the cup. It seems like it would be great for shaping if it was the right size. And it is so very cute, anyone would absolutely look like a classic pin-up in this set.
The thong is very flattering, it doesn't dig in to my sides, it lays smooth. I bought a size 40. My hips at the widest point are 37.5. I think I could go down 1 size in these panties. I figured based on my measurements that I was borderline between the 2 sizes, and erred on the side of roomy versus constrictive.
On to more good news. I have been loosing weight sloooowly. I am careening towards my 40th birthday (is this good news or bad news?!) so hoping to look trimmer. For quite a while my boobs weren't changing at all, and in fact seemed to be getting bigger, busting out of bras, not sure if they were bigger or maybe underbust was just a little smaller. Anyhow, they suddenly just dropped size, significantly. Apparently the last part of my body to let go of a little fat. So this is good news to me, because I can fit back in to the cups of some of my pretty bras from a year ago (cute comexims MamaPagan 💕) Plus, I prefer to not be quite as big.
Now the bad news is that they decided to shrink while I had 2 65JJ bras in the mail. I think that this bra would have fit or maybe have been just a little big in the cup. Bad news is that these cups are much too big on me. I'm up for hearing suggestions on what cup size I need at my current size. In more bad news it doesn't look like I can order it again from Ewa.
I know it's bra science, but I was definitely a bit disappointed, I really had my hopes up to wear this adorable set!
