The cups don't fit me very well, and the band is too large for me. It seems like it's too FoB for me.

Usually I wear a 30D, but in this bra the band doesn't ride up. In some other aerie bras, like the Bridget, the 32 band rides up more. I think it might be whatever type of fabric this bra is made out of. It is a soft, knitted material, but it somehow doesn't move around much.

This bra is super comfortable and soft. It gives me a great push up effect without me quadboobing out. I don't have any complaints.

This bra is awesome except I get quadboob. I am going to trade it for a 30D. It's good if you are shallow, broad rooted, have medium to far apart spaced breasts, and tall rooted.

I really like the fit of the seasonal Hannahs in 30B. They're a little bit flat and a little bit wide and a little bit perfect for someone small like me. The only problem with the Hannah is that I think its target consumer is a younger girl who prefers a competitively priced/lower quality/more disposable bra.

The foam feels really cheap (thin, light, airy, very soft and smashy. BUT, I do have a very well-worn Hannah that seems just about as thin and as smashy as a new one, so I guess flimsy wears well!), fabrics are sort of flimsy (sometimes it's sheer as a byproduct of being loosely ... and cheaply knit cloth. Not sure if it's a layer underneath, or just the elastic shining through), and the patterns are always sort of silly and embarrassing for a full grown woman to be seen in (think too-bright colors, 3-d metal bits that show under shirts, unrefined polka dot color combos, cheap looking lace). Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers!



My best aerie fit is in a 30B Hannah, and this one is no exception. The "padding" is a thin piece of light, airy foam. Thick enough to give a little bit of shape and to hide things when it gets cold, but a completely natural look. The shape is perfect for wider or less projected breasts. Unlike the cotton Hannahs with trim at the top of the cup, these seasonal models are open and don't cut in. Thought I'd like to see these available in more grown-up colors/patterns or with a higher quality fabric, I really love the Hannah, and hope it never goes away!

This Harper is great. It feels so grown-up and high quality for an aerie bra! The fabric is sleek and slippery and smooth, and the memory foam feels dense and heavy and like it will last a long time. The shape of the lace accent is so feminine (especially compared to the blocky and heavy lace edges of other current aerie bras), and the lace itself is not thick and bumpy.

The amount of padding is just right for me. A bump of push-up, but nothing extreme.

The shape is a little narrow for my body, though. It's kind of cool because it pushes everything towards the front and out.

For reference, I get a great fit with a 30B Hannah, and bought the Harper in 32A.

Pros: Really comfortable if it was the right size. My bigger boob was popping out of it when I wore a strapless dress though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Really comfortable even if it was a strapless bra.

I bought this used so it was already worn in. Great quality, Aerie is a great brand.

Ordered this in a 30B and 30C since I'm still trying to figure out my size (and they were having a buy 1 get 1 half off, so it seemed like a good time to try out multiple options). While I think the 30C fits better, I think that this is just not a good style for my shallow shape. The cup cuts into my larger left breast. Low-cut styles usually seem to be good for me so it's a bit puzzling. I think it's that it's low cut but also very curved in at the top. The next size up is ... definitely better for me (gore lies flat in 30C and not in 30B), but the style is still problematic. In both sizes I fill out the cup completely but still quadboob on the larger side (less in the 30C). For more details on how the size up fits, please see my review on that size. That's probably a better representation of why the style doesn't work for me considering that I think the size is better for me.

Other more general notes: I got it in charcoal heather and I think that it's really pretty and simple. The black edging and bow are nice subtle contrasting touches. The fabric (cotton I think) is really nice and soft. The band runs a bit large for a 30 I think (stretches to almost 32 by my measurement) and was very comfortable. That said, it wasn't very tight on me (27.5-28 in underbust) so I can't really speak to how it would feel if it were, though the fabric is soft so I suspect that it would still be quite comfy. All in all a great everyday bra if the style worked better.

Similar to the parfait style 2801 but gives me slightly rounder shape. Band is too loose and it rides up. Straps don't adjust all the way just half of the strap. It gives nice separation. Not much quardaboob but not a fan of the lift it gives me not enough for me. Its just not the right bra for me may be perfect bra for someone else

This bra is good for my shape but the cups are way too small and the band is a bit big. This is a 32A and I really need a 30C. It is good if you are shallow, have broad roots, and have far-spaced breasts.

Fits great! Loved the demi-coverage and tag-free comfort.

This bra is lightly lined. Looks great underneath clothing, no poking out under light fabrics.

First time I found a bra that fits me. I have shallow breasts, so I don't exactly fill the top up completely, but it's not even noticeable. The underwire poked into my sternum quite a bit, but bending them a little bit right at the ends made it perfect. Beware: not all Bridgets are created equal. I also got one in lace, and the gap at the top of the cup is glaringly obvious.

This band feels like it fits ok on the second hook, but is very stretchy. The biggest problem is that the cups are too close together and the wires are too narrow and dig in at the sides. This causes the cups to gape at the top. Returning!

This bra is super soft and fits well, except I feel the underwires are not completely encasing my breast tissue at the sides (feels like it's digging in a bit). The band does fit like a true 30 and feels comfortably snug on the second hook. I think a 30C would work better for me, which is suprising...but I am filling this one out well and the slightly wider wires of a C might work better if the cups aren't too deep for me.

I knew the band would probably be too big on this one, but they didn't have a 30 available, it was buy one get one free, I love longlines, and I really need a new nude t-shirt bra! The band is definitely too big, but the cups fit me and it wears well otherwise. I know from previous experience that altering a 32A down in the band makes the cups too small, so I think I will exchange it for a 32B and make the band smaller. It will be really easy on this bra because the back is straight across. Yay free returns!

Clearly the wrong size. Wanted to see if this would improve my reccomendations.

Updated on Aug 16, 2014 Flag this

Pretty, just not the right size. The materials are very soft. The straps are only partially adjustable and you don't have the option to force them over the detailing on the front. Very bright magenta color.

Pretty nice, this one is a little older so I have some issues with the stretching. It's still cute and a good daily wear, but it wears pretty quickly.

Updated on Aug 15, 2014 Flag this

This bra is extremely soft and has a very pretty, bright color. Before being properly measured, this was one of my favorite styles, as it is soft and the band is quite low and thick.

Pros:
*soft
*good color
*pretty design
*comfortable for non-vigorous activity

Cons:
*lace does not stay attached firmly to top of cups
*two hook closure instead of sturdier three hook closure
*lace designs pokes through thin or tight shirts
*underwires become pokey and irritating after long wear

I first purchased the regular version of the Maddie, and I really liked two things about the bra that I found unusual. First is the crisscross center gore. While it doesn't serve a functional purpose, the sleek lines of the design really appealed to me. Second is the padding design in the cups. Again, no real functional purpose, but the gently curved lines that section the padding is a treat for someone that appreciates lines and their design.

Anyway, this is my best fitting strapless bra. I have it in beige and it fits perfectly. The band isn't as short as some of the Aerie 32A bras that I own, but it stays in place. The cups are wide enough, yet shallow enough to give a super smooth appearance under my clothing. One of my workhorse bras.

One con: This bra comes with attachable straps so that you can wear it multiple ways. The stitching on the fabric that holds the strap hooks comes apart pretty easily, and I've had to restitch it back.
