The cut of this bra is old-school Bravissimo at it's worst. It's like everything I don't want or need in large cup sizes.
But lets start on a positive note with the appearance, the bra has a nice smooth fabric, the colour is a very pale light blue. The straps and the embroiderie are in a very bright neon pink, it's even brighter in person than in the pictures. I find it a bit too loud compared to the pale blue. A regular bright pink would have done the job. The cactus embroiderie is very cute.

The sizing: The band runs on the smaller side so I sized up to a 34 band. The reviews said the cups run small so I sized up one size too. So this is the advice I give on sizing, size up in band and if you have full on top boobs also size up in cups. This is also the advice I give for all old-school Bravissimo bras!

Anyway lets move on the issues. The cups are rather shallow and wide. I get some wrinkling on bottom. The fancy gore is a very nice idea in theory but just doesn't lie flat on me. I have very narrow set boobs and this type of gore is just too wide and the wires just lie on top of each other. The bra has very wide and tall wires. And it's worst offense: the fabric under the arms comes up so high I it constantly stabs me in the arm pits. Also the strap position does not help, because the straps cut into my arms too.
I had this issue with many older Bravissimo bras - and that they run small in cups did not help because you had to size up and that made it even worse.
Therefore I do not recommend this bra in my size range unless you have a particular shape where you need very tall and wide cups!

This bra is not owned any more
