I’m going to piggyback off of alisa ’s excellent review of the same bra in 34HH/J. My experience was almost identical - def check out the comments for more good info on this bra.

Me: FOT, close-set, center full, relatively soft tissue, somewhat wide roots, pendulous.

The Zara is beautiful to look at and well constructed overall. wireless bra that actually keeps my breasts at a decent height. If you can sister size down to a smaller band/bigger cup than your usual Bravissimo size, it might work, but the looseness of the band combined with the non-adjustable straps makes this less than ideal for larger cups - unless you have firmer tissue and/or somewhat self-supported breasts.

The cups are have a side sling and are built very well for my shape with a nice, high gore. But this bra is at least 1 cup size too small for me & the band is very stretchy, which means the straps take the weight of my boobs and they dig in quite badly after a bit. There is a really miserable thick seam right at the pressure point where the strap sits at the top of the shoulder. (See pics) Yeowch!

This was the bra that taught me what a bra blog tried to explain - though I'm not at all projected, because I am pendulous I need more projection @ the wire. Otherwise my breasts push the wires down and out of my IMF, causing the tops of my boobs to spill out as the cups are pushed downwards, making the band ride up and causing a lot of stomach & shoulder discomfort. Sheesh! #liveandlearn

I kept it - but I will definitely let it go once I find something more comfortable to take it’s place.

  Thanks for the review!
  I agree Zara could be so amazing if we had the option to size up in cups / size down in band. I'd try 32JJ/K if available! So many reviews on the Bravissimo site recommend to size up in cup which is not possible for us at the upper end of the size spectrum.

• alisa Mmm-hmm! Seeing as Bravissimo 's entire MO is catering to the DD+ crowd, you'd think they would offer more selection towards the JJ/K/KK/L end of the spectrum.

• CAGirlGoingPolish I actually noticed they limited some sizes.
  Of course they did a lot compared to in 2015 when they had like 3 bras go up to L. Even the sports bra goes up to L and there is a selection of 6-7 bras to choose.
  But I noticed on many new bras, they cut out 28 bands, they stop at 30J and leave 30JJ-L crowd hanging.

• alisa yup! Boo!
