Not a winner for me at all!

Tried 30 JJ but the elastic on the top of the cups cut into my center fullness almost comically. The cups were far too closed on top on the JJ, though there is some very slight give in the elastic that lines the top of the cups.

For the 30K, Filled cups relatively well, but lots of wrinkling @ underarms & bottom combined with underwire immediately diving down my chest tells me there’s not enough projection for me @ the wire. Ow!

Cups are far too tall for me at the sides. Cut in and rubbed my underarms - hard to explain - see pics. That was the most uncomfortable aspect by far.

Band was a bit firm - only stretching to a 29” for me. Fine for my rib cage, but obviously not if. You are a true 30”+.

Overall, like most Bravissimo bras I’ve tried this season, too tall & shallow for my shape.

Someone less FOT & less Center full may fare better. Wires wider than most I’ve tried - too wide even for my wide roots.

Boo. Back it goes!

This bra is not owned any more

  Right now pictures are not visible - if you want to make them so, go into your bras -> select this bra -> manage pictures -> select "Make pictures visible next to my bra information" :)

• Apparently the new Penny and Allie bras have new wires that are narrower in cups above JJ - the info is from alidieux she has tried this bra and got the info directly from Bravissimo.

  I'm sorry this was a bad fit for you. Also it looks nothing like Bravissimo pics in colour. Did you notice shoulder pain or issues with the strap design? Some reviewers stated that they would get neck pain and cannot stand this kind of strap.

  pierniczki Thank you! Fixed!

  alisa Good info re: Allie & Penny - thank you! Also thank you alidieux . We are all guinea pigs together in this thing ne-c'est pas? Glad not to be in it alone!

  alisa You're right about the color - nowhere near the lavender/purple I was hoping for. Much more like purplish gray. Not really my jam. No shoulder pain or issues, and I'm usually very sensitive to such things (well, I'm a highly sensitive person all around, so, take it with a grain of salt, perhaps) . However - the bra was uncomfortable enough on the sides and with the diving wire I didn't keep it on more than a few minutes to take pics.

  at least it's a cute bra hehe. I like bras in the big cups that doesn't have such a weirdly huge top-part. (like freya). this one and lacey are at least not that. shame on the fit though :/ Looks odd.

  and yeh the Allie definitely had a little more narrow wires than their other bras, as they told me. I'll get Penny in this week, maybe tomorrow or so, will update.

• On the website it looked like lavender purple denim blue color mix... but actually looks like slate blue grey ... nothing wrong with that color but it's just so much darker than you would expect from the pic.

• alidieux - true story! It is a beautiful bra to look at! Wish is wasn't so patently miserable to wear for my frame! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Penny! May I ask your shape(s)? Are you FOT as well?

  I've posted Penny (And Evie). I am even shape, functionally FoB I think. Incredibly short roots. Basically I'm the complete opposite of alisa :D which makes it fun to try bras, what doesn't work for her might work better for me, and vice versa :)

• alidieux Genius! Instead of finding your boob twin, find your boob opposite! That's an ingenious way of determining if a style will work for you - I love it! I'll be sure to check out those reviews :)
