I am really on the fence with this Mabel bra, I previously tried it in 32K - Bravissimo » Mabel (LN775) and it was slightly too big. So I exchanged for 32JJ.
While the 32JJ is definitely the right size for me, I am still not super impressed by it.

My shape: narrow / medium root,center full projected, full on top.

So the bra is on the more shallow side, the wire is average width for the size. Luckily the cup height is a bit lower in this size compared to 32K so it does bother me less under my arms. The top section is slightly stretchy and adjusts to your shape. The straps are rather narrow for this size and they are very stretchy. The Gemma and Annie bra I tried before had the same straps, but Mabels are a slight improvement since they don't fold immediately like the other ones.

Why I am not in love with this bra? First I am not sure if it's supportive all day as I can only wear it 30min for trial. The stretchy straps kinda dig in already. The band also feels okay but I can fit 1 hand under it already. The cups are not projected enough for me on bottom. Which I can get away with that shape if the bra is tall enough to contain all my breast tissue I am not sure if I would have to adjust the bra a lot during the day if it wants to slide down.
What I noticed: this bra and 32J - Fantasie » Illusion Side Support Bra (FL2982) have very similar fabric and when I put on both over each other they a identical! But I prefer wider straps on the Fantasie.
I am really really on the fence with this one.

This bra is not owned any more

  I’m a sucker for a blue bra, but I’m all about comfort over all. If the straps are already annoying, you might always be aware of them when you wear it. Since it’s so similar to the Fantasy, maybe the Fantasy is a better choice?

  Agree with Happy2BraShop , and as you seem to feel yourself as well; you probably won't get much wear out of this if there's multiple issues to begin with.

  I do really like the non-fussy, almost 'genderneutral' pinstripe vibes of this bra!

• I tried it on again yesterday and found it just lacking in uplift immediately after putting it on. I really don't know but I think if you have too FOT boobs these stretchy bras can not support them enough?

• Happy2BraShop I have 3 Fantasie Illusions here, so I am covered, another reason why I gonna return Mabel. If I had none bra similar to it, I might gave it another chance but the Fantasies are too similar.

  A great bra and a good fit but one of the hooks already came loose. Still would recommend. Fabric & band are good quality.
