    It's a perfect fit, like it was made to measure. I have slightly shallow to average projection and wide root. I was recommended 32C/D from ABTF calculator and 30D/DD on here. My breasts have never looked so good in a bra, I can't believe this is all me!

    This would be perfect if it provided any lift at all. Instead, I feel it drags by boob downward, making them look shallow and stretched. I think narrower wires would be nice.

      This looks lovely on you :-) And, to read that it is soft and comfortable is endearing. Congratulations!

      Although I'm not in the 'teen' demographic anymore (haven't been for a long time), Aerie has become one of my favorite brands for bras. You can always find their bras on sale and clearance, they are well made and wear well, and you can find solid colors with minimal embellishments that are suited for the "older" demo. The Aerie Sunnie has become my favorite best fitting bra. As you said they tend to cater to the smaller end of the bra size spectrum and I find many of their bras have shallow cups, which is perfect for my shape.

      I'm 50 - So definitely NOT a teen, lol! It sounds like you have similar needs with your shape. One of the reasons I post here is when I find something nice I want to get the word out! If it hadn't been for Bratabase, I would never have understood what always went wrong with bras and me. I am so happy you found Aerie, too. A brand is finally making something right, and the prices are amazing! This similar eyelash lace bra at Nordstrom is $128.00! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/for-love-lemons-loucette-underwire-longline-bra/4399389?origin=category-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=ROSE

    I like the stretchy cups, but the separate cuts into my tissue too much. This is a very comfortable bra.

      So happy for you. I totally understand trying to find unlined/lightly lined bras in small sizes, but I think the trend in the natural look is slowly helping provide more options than the typical molded cup push up styles.

      I'm so glad you found a good one! I just got some aerie bras today and sadly they really don't fit well at all.. Very happy to hear someone having success with them since they are so affordable!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this multi-way pushup bra!!! My new favorite and will be buying more. I usually have problems with quadding, gapping, band slipping down, and boob flattening when it comes to strapless bras, but this has been the best so far! Not too much pushup padding but enough to give me some oomph, gives a nice round shape, and doesn't make me look completely flat-chested. Very comfortable to wear for a long time and stays up. Love the nude color with the smooth cups and pretty lace band.

    This bra is made for ultra short roots. I quadded like crazy with this bra for the sole reason that the top edges of the cups are very closed in. Don't buy this bra if you have tall roots.

    Originally I purchased this bra in 34B and found it fit nicely, but the band and cups were just the slightest bit too large on me. I found this 32C on Poshmark and thought it might be just what I was looking for. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The band fit snug as I wanted, but the cups don't work for me. This size is too small for my larger breast (the slightest bit of quadboobing if I really scoop it in, but mainly it spills out on the side). Despite that, there is some wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller breast because my roots are short, so I don't think a 32D would be any better. I'm just going to stick with my 34B. It's a bit loose but feels more comfortable.

    I've been wearing the Aerie Sunny for quite a few years and it's been the best fitting and most comfortable bra I own - it's definitely my go to bra. Aerie was having their after Christmas sale with bras 50% off. I purchased a new Sunny to replace my very worn out one. Sadly this one doesn't fit. I compared the bratabase measurements I entered for the old one against the new one. The new one, the band is 3/4" shorter and stretches 2" less. The cup is 1/2" narrower with a 1/2" less depth. I had to add an extender to get it clasped and when I did I was quadding out the top and the gore was digging in. This bra is more like a 30C than 32C. I don't know if I just got a bad copy or if they changed something over the years. I will have to head back to try on some other sizes.

    • It could also be that your old one stretched in the band, especially if you wore it often.

    • brasaremean Yes, the old one was all stretched out which is why I needed a new one, however, I compared the measurements to the measurements I entered in bratabase when it was new.

      Oh dear! I hate when that happens. I have 2 Cleo Marcie bras in 30F, but the navy is much tighter in the band than a 30 should be, and while my black has a tts band, it’s half an inch taller all around. It’s frustrating for sure.

    This is super cute and comfortable. It so, so soft. I've been wearing it under loose sweatshirts and for sleep. It doesn't provide any modesty, so I wouldn't wear this under Ts or blouses. This is size S and the cups are very small but the band is almost too loose on me. XS cups would definitely not fit, and the M band would be too loose, so I've got S. I have matching bottoms and this set is adorable, and my husband adores it. As you can see, this bralette does absolutely nothing for shaping on me. It makes me look saggy and it pulls down where I can use all the lift I can get. I paid $14.00 for this, so I am enjoying it thoroughly because it's pretty and comfy. If I'd paid more, I'd have to either explore a different size, or forego this style. The fabric is just too charming to resist.

    Yay! I'm the first one on Bratabase to do a review of this bra! This bra might actually be even better than the B.tempt'd By Wacoal B.wow'd Push Up Bra (958187) . It gives slightly more cleavage, it's just as comfortable and the cups are slightly closer together. This is a great bra for shallow, broad rooted, tall rooted. I like everything except the lace on the straps.

    This one works pretty well for me. The band fits nicely, just as expected. The cups do not gape on my shallow breasts except minorly, when in certain positions. It's pretty comfy and gives a nice little boost without being too much. Plus it comes in lots of pretty designs.

    I did what you are often told not to do -- I bought bras from Aerie even though their band size starts at 32 and I have a 26" ribcage. However, I don't have a large chest, so the bras are still comfortable. Both models I tried (this and three Paiges) run a full size small in the cups. The band is also quite loose -- even compared to my 32B Victoria's Secret bras.

    It’s a good spot between my different boobs: a biiit small for my big boob and a biit big for my small boob. I don’t want to only fit my big boob and have to worry about padding my small boob. Especially since I have a massive (~5cm) fibroadenoma in my big boob which I want to eventually vaporize and therefore my bigger boob will shrink. (I know from past experience.)

    The biggest problem would be the wires don’t cup the full width of my wide roots. Also the straps are weirdly borderline short. If I don’t scoop and swoop the band feels really tight. After wearing this for a bit, my boobs un-scoop-n-swoop, especially my smaller one, causing gapping. I reckon the cups are too narrow for my wide roots so they fall out.

    This is my first bra purchase since discovering my true size of 30D/30DD using the A Bra That Fits calculator. With that being said, this particular bra is a sister size for my measurements and it fit good enough for me to want to bring it home. Had there been a 30D in stock at the store I would have loved to try it! Regardless, this bra was exactly what I wanted in a bra after being fitted into too large bands my whole life and wearing only bralettes for the last 6 years.

    I find that the band is quite snug on the loosest setting for a 32, ... so it definitely runs small in the band. That has started to relax some after the bra has seen about 20 hours of wear and I expect to move to the next set of hooks very soon. I also find the fabric to be absolutely delightful, very soft and buttery with enough stretch to allow the molded cup shape to be a little more forgiving and flexible.

    The gore is quite comfortable and tacks very nicely for me. Having never experienced a gore tacking properly before this was a pleasant "secure" type of feeling, not too firm. The wires do not poke me on either end, and I find the wires wide enough for my (I'm fairly sure) wider root shape. I also do not find the wires to be too stiff.

    The pushup effect is lovely! Gives nice cleavage without being "too much". I would say it's moderate, meaning not a little or a lot but somewhere in the middle of what I think a pushup can do. This is exactly why I chose this bra even though it's not in my measured size, it gave me my preference in amount of cleavage without being uncomfortable or causing me to spill out.

    One of the issues I have with this bra is the width of the straps being just a tad too wide for me. This is probably more so due to my petite frame than a fault of the bra, and I do understand that demi straps will be attached out on the sides of the cups intensifying the wider strap placement.

    Another issue I have noticed is once the bra has been on for about a half hour I start to get gapping at the top of the cups where the straps attach if I do not keep very good posture or if I reach forward. It is not extreme gapping to the point where I feel this bra is a bad fit, but it's definitely there. I find it odd that it only becomes an issue once I've had it on for a little while and as far as I can tell the band has not shifted, the cups have not slid up or down, all of my tissue is still in the cups and the straps are comfortably snug. I know this could be because the height of my roots are shorter and I possibly don't have enough fullness up top or I may be a little too projected for the cups. I am wondering if my body heat relaxes the material after a little while and it's stretching more than when it's room temperature?

    All in all, this isn't going to be a holy grail bra for me but for the price (and that it was easy to source locally in store) it is a good bra and I am happy with it. I will say projected and short root height breasts should be cautious of the fit even though it's a half cup, but it may still work for you!

    Didn't fit

    My calculated/recommended size is UK 28E; I got a 32C in the Soft Muslin color and Eyelash Lace Lightly Lined Bra variant just to test out the size at the very beginning of my ABTF journey. My measurements are 28"/27"/26" underbust, 32.5"/34.5"/33" bust. I would describe my shape as being projected, FOB, tall roots, very close-set, splayed roots.

    Even though this quite a bit off from my "true" size, this honestly doesn't fit too badly. Though the Aerie bands tend to run a little small, for sure the gore doesn't tack, I can fit my whole fist under the band, the wires lift up from my body, and the ... bra functions as more of a boob hat than truly supportive. The gore is also too wide (a problem with all wired bras for me). This Eyelash Lace style is made of a T-shirt/molded cup with a lace overlay (and actually is smooth under T-shirts, despite the lace). I can tell it's a little too shallow (the wire sits under my IMF), but I think because of the very open top cut, I don't actually have too much weirdness fitting into the cup.

    Despite the fit issues, this is pretty enough for me to keep! The rose gold hardware is just the nicest touch, too.
