Why why why are these straps so wide? To be honest, I don’t know what is happening in this bra in general. I really want to like it because I like unlined styles best and everything about this seems like it should be great. Narrow wires? Check. Projection? Check. Narrow gore? Check.

But it is not right. Someone please tell me what is happening at the wire on the side? What is this? Seriously, I don’t know what to say or do about that. I also noticed quite a bit of wrinkling in the cups toward the front. This seemed to be helped some when I added a bra extender. Regardless, this will be heading back since the straps are basically in my armpits at the front of the cups and it doesn’t look super simple to alter.

The positives: The gore tacks. The lace is soft and feels nice. I like the padding that is added on the straps.

This bra is not owned any more

  Honestly the wire on the side looks like it’s being stretched too far back, like the band is too tight. This probably also caused the wrinkles because the bottom was made shallow by the band being pulled back too far. When you added the extender, it helped the wrinkles because it gave the band more slack. It’s too bad it didn’t work out for you, it’s such a pretty bra! Mine in 80HH came in the mail today, I can’t wait to get home and try it on.

  Just wanted to add to my last comment: the way you can tell the band is being stretch too far is by how the wing fabric (where the band changes from lace to solid fabric) is slanted back like a slash / instead of up and down |

  This is really helpful. Thank you for giving me that insight. I think even if it weren’t for this, the bra would have been a bad fit for me. The straps are so wide set and look like they’d be a bit of a pain to move.

  I hope yours works better for you!

  It definitely didn’t lol! Way too small. I also just got done trying an 80JJ Biscuit Plunge and it did t fit right either. How did the 80JJ Antonina turn out for you?

  Honestly, if I had tried both on the day I tried on the 80J, the 80JJ probably would have been perfect since my boobs were at their max size cycle wise. But as it is, the 80JJ is just a hair large/open on top and the 80J is just a touch on the smaller size. I’m keeping the 80J. I think it is pretty and I can wear it when I want to be very va-va-voom.
