Bought for teen, and was very excited because wow wide soft plush straps, a racer back attachment for small shoulders, super soft fabrics, a great breathable layer strong stretch mesh that can accommodate size fluctuations, 3 wideset hooks! and the most awesome plunge underwire shaping I've seen! What a fabulous gore-less beauty of engineering.

In BASIC BLACK, a dream of a daily bra for all imaginable purposes and occasions- surely this was THE ONE!

Well we might have gotten ahead of ourselves. being all spoiled by Panache's sports bras at this point. My child returned after a week of trying to understand what Dina had in mind and came back humbled, "yeah so I have no idea what happened, here I uh, well hmm. oof"

Dina's cups are 7" tall at the upper seam, and 8.5" at the neckline seam along edge.
Dina's cups are 8.5" from the gore wire to the top of the wire at wing.
Both cups measured together gives a Uniboob pocket of 17" inches width.
This gives us approximately the same volume and depth as we get in a 30DD. I know, because I'm holding an d old unused cleo 30DD in my hand for reference, and a gorsenia of the same volume (32D eu sizing).. and they have more space than Dina. WHERE HOW WHAT WHY

THE OTHER 3 SIZES. 1.5" OTHER CUP VOLUME. WHERE ARE THEY.

WHY.

WHY IS THIS.

WHAT. WHERE!?

H O W how ///how/// is.. . this... real?

Wait a sec, you say? Back Up. UniBoob Pocket you might be asking?

Yes, Dina can accommodate approximately 3.5" tall internal breast height, by 5.5 breast width, up to 5" cup height... in a 30FF. a certified size THIRTY EFF EFF. Yes, I tend to agree. 'EFF' truly sums up this experience.

For you see:

This bra has a *massive* lack of available space for a full 1.7" above the wire. Just pure band but built into the cup. Thankfully Dina's cups will not strangle breast at the gore because there's no wire to anchor the fabric tightly across it. Freedom blessed freedom from stabbing, shoving, chaffing. Just space for breasts to point directly at one another in a horizontal heap of flattened flesh staring straight at each other with the same confusion this bra caused us trying to understand why it's an impossible fit.
Hence... UniBooB Pocket™

Ehm, uh, in other words. There's a very large, flat, tight, solid vertical WALL OF SUPERTIGHT FABRIC stretched taut across lower outer wire, through center and almost to the gore, and prevents any part of a breast fat or skin from ever coming remotely near said wire. What is even the point of this I cannot begin to fathom. Should someone of 30DD sizing get ahold of this 30FF they're going to have an exciting time watching Dina scoot down their chest away from their breasts because of it's bizarre UniBoob Pocket design.

The only remote possibility is that Dina was made with a particular need in mind- exceptionally soft, highly compressible tissue, or breasts that are so completely, indisputably, fully separated from a chest wall by many multiple inches lacking any support whatsoever, and attach only by thin skin alone that perhaps wouldn't mind the skin being smushed while any uncrushable portion of a breast is lifted into the sternum and secured as a UniBoob.

Because ain't NO WAY this double layer of barely stretchy mesh about to allow for anything over a 30DD to fit into it's svelte embrace.

Oh man I miss the wild times we had trying to make Gorsenia's Anya fit.

Back to nostalgically reflecting on whether we could actually achieve pulling on each bra cup, like a pair of socks.

Not as far as to recoiling in horror as we had from the trauma of the concave-cupped Bravissimo Inspire and it's duckbilled buffonery.

  I'm glad the Trials and Tribulations are bringing life to the masses. It's so stressful out here. This entire saga of trying to stuff not only my own set of doublewide halfheight honkers into anything at, but now my offsprings... well frankly it has me feeling insane. Why no woman in my entire gene pool warned me what was to come is a mystery. And while i don't wish to disparage any model of bra it's abundantly clear many are made of nothing but lies for most of us.
