Ehem. So, the infamous Sugar Candy Seamless Everyday Bra (that's a mouthful).
I have spent near a year coveting this bra, but couldn't justify the price. So recently, I just decided, why not? Bought it, eagerly awaited it, got it, tried it on, felt my world crashing around me, etc etc. The usual bra stuff.

As it usually is with SML sizes, one size, in fact, does not fit a wide range of sizes. The Cake Lingerie website lists that 30GG is XS. I would disagree wholeheartedly (seeing as I'm 30GG and this bra doesn't even begin to fit lol). I think this bra would be best suited for 30FF, 28G, 26GG (yes, 26) - and an additional cup size down on each band. I guess that's still a wider range than one single cup size...
I think this bra would be too large for someone in 28F, and 30E etc etc, but I could be wrong. I hope this makes sense.
I don't think if I were in the 32 band range (whichever cup size) I would be buying XS at all, the band is very tight on loosest hook, *but* it does stretch to 90cm at widest with some force used (and since there's no wires there's no risk of wire distortion), however, I'm not sure it would be very comfortable! Otherwise, the band stretches to about 71-72cm without using heavy force, and there are six (6!) rows of hooks so a lot of room for that 26-28-30 adjustment. It is a pregnancy bra, after all, which is probably why it works this way.

The cups, however, I don't find to be as stretchy. As a matter of fact, no matter how much I tried to cram my GGs in there, the boobs won every time, and they would just pop back out within 20 seconds. The cups are very interesting. They have a sling on the side, and a sling on the bottom, made of very sturdy thick (maybe not suitable for summer?) material. I can see this giving well support to smaller busted ladies, however for me both these slings were too small. Meaning, they were cutting into my boobs making for a very weird shape... Especially considering how soft my outer tissue is. If they were a bit longer, I think it would have worked wonderfully. The other, my usual issue I have is that the cups are cutting into my tall shallow roots (or the gentle slope, as someone called it here, lol) with a vengeance.
Overall verdict, the cups are too short (especially on the sides), and too small for me.
Under a shirt tho, you couldn't tell. The shape under a shirt is alright.

The center features a gore-ish kinda thing. I read that after wearing it a while it does a really nice job at separating but I don't think I will be wearing it (unless I lose some serious volume) to find out.

The straps kinda adjust long enough, I mean at this point I'm used to none of them being quite what I need but oh well, and these are on the longer side. They are nice and thick and comfy, and can be crossed for racerback.

Overall. I like this bra. I think it's a great wireless bra that seems to actually give some support, the size is just not quite right for me. I think I prefer the Luxe lacey version to this one as well. If money allows, I might be trying the S size, however, I'm not sure it's worth trying since XS seems to be about 3 cups too small.

edit: I wonder if I cut out the slings, if the bra would actually fit because there would be room in there. I just really like the band...

edit 2: THE REMOVAL. I did it. It took me an hour to get all the stitching loose, this thing was like freaking armour! But I did it.
1. I did get (about 1 and a half to 2 cups worth) more space in the cup. I'm not kidding, these slings are REALLY bulky.
2. The band is a teensy tiny bit looser now.
3. The bra is actually kind of wearable at this point.
4. The difference in shape is negligible I feel like. It's a casual, wear-at-home bra so who cares about the shape.

edit 3: some might wonder why I ruined a £40 bra instead of just returning it. Truth is, returning is literally more costly for me than doing this. I wasn't gonna return it anyway and it would just sit in my drawer collecting dust. I did it for bra science.

  Thanks for the review! I’ve seen this mentioned a lot on Reddit and I was curious about it. It looks like the same material as the genie bra. I didn’t find the cups stretchy on that either.

• I would say the fabric is a lot nicer quality than the genie bra! But yeah, not very stretchy.

  Sorry it didn't workout. I wondered about the removal of the side sling as I was reading your review as well.

  If you try the S I hope it works better for you!

  I removed it haha. I will add pics and update the review. My soul weeped for the 50 pounds I gave for it the whole time.

• Wept?

  The suspense is killing me! Did it work? Does it fit now?!?

• 1

  Kind of!

  So excited! Can't wait to see the new photos!!

  I posted them. I think I did get more space in the cup, byu a lot. It's very obvious in front photos.

  Much better shape in my opinion. I like the look with the sling removed! How does it feel? Is it supportive and comfortable?

• 2

  Comfortable very. Supportive... eh along the lines of the genie bra. Most importantly though is that because it has hooks in the back and the band is small to begin with, it does not ride up at all which is my main issue with wireless SML sized bras.
  So overall, it's pretty decent.

  Glad to hear it. Happy your bra surgery worked out. :-)

  Wow! So much improved fit after the surgery! I’ve been interested in this one too. Appreciate the review. Our size and shape is close, so it’s really quite helpful.

  Thanks for reviewing this and for the surgery experiment! I actually think it does give you a significantly better shape after removing the sling :) yay for bra science

• Wow, your bra science is strong. First, so many helpful pics! Second, so daring! This review has been the most helpful one on this bra I've found, thank you!
