Yet. Another. Beautiful. Bra from Empreinte.

I wanted to buy two bras to make the shipping worth it to Canada from this France, so I selected this one. Soooo pretty! I feel like a bébé lawyer. Wow, Empreinte runs very consistent. VERY CONSISTENT. I mean, the size is the same in between styles. Sign of a quality brand!

As far as sizing in Empreinte, it might be better to see a professional, aka just try on bras in person. Empreinte has a variety of shapes, some cups are more pointy, and other cups are rounded, like the Cassiopee.

This bra makes me feel very minimized from the side, and larger from the front view. I got this bra from Mes Dessous https://www.mesdessous.fr/en/36-outlet?page=1

Indian blue colorway

  This bra is gorgeous! It looks like it fits you, too. You said it minimizes the profile and maximizes the front view. What do you mean by the latter? Does it make you look wider from the front?

• I do think I look bigger from the front in this bra! this pic https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dm9v7/ And then look at me from the side, my boob almost disappear! https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dm9v9/

  Maybe it's just the flower pattern playing tricks on my eyes though.

  Interesting, I know it looks like it fits, but I feel like the band isn't tight enough. I guess I would have to try a 32 band (70 EU band) to compare if that's too tight. It's possible this is the best size for me.

  It probably does look like it's tight enough. I just like my bra bands really tight.

• Oh, interesting. This women just wrote about having uneven tension in the band. A tell tale sign of this is having the side seam at an angle, instead of perpendicular to the ground. "Uneven tension can make the band feel too loose and the bra unsupported even though it's right size on either the top or bottom of the band." I'm not really sure what she means by this.

  Ya, I wouldn't size down in the band. The tension in the band looks good. If you size down it might distort the cups and so it won't fit well anymore. But you might be experiencing uneven band tension like the user above had mensioned.

• I see what you mean about the side-minimizing and front-widening appearance, BraOdyssey . Most of the Empreinte bras I have feel somewhat loose in the band. It's hard to find Empreinte 30 bands. I feel supported despite this. However all my Empreinte bras are molded ones that hold their shape when empty. I'm lucky there's a shape match.

  I wish you could try on a variety of band and cup combinations. Maybe a different combo would give a different shape. How does this bra look under clothes? Does it do what you want it to do?
