I am a 28D and I had ordered this bra in a 30C originally, but it was far too large for a 30C (echoed by other people who have tried this bra in 30C). From the size of the 30C, however, it seemed like a 30B would fit. But I was wrong. Although it almost fit me, I have some gaping on my smaller breast, and I think the shape of the bra may be too open at the top (which really shouldn't be an issue with my shallow shape on a balconette). I was reaally hoping this would fit because I really wanted a removable strap balconette, and this bra is also very comfortable, cheap, and simple in appearance.
Cup shape fits well for slightly full on bottom, shallow/long slope on top as it pushes the breast up and makes top tissue look fuller, but really doesn't sit wide enough. This bra would be amazing on a narrow root. Cups are lined but not padded. Band runs small but stretches well. I expect with material quality being what it is, the band will lose enough elasticity over time to comfortably adjust to anyone in a 28-30 range although if you're normally closer to a 32 you will want an extender at first.
@xuenylom, the color is called "Grey". In person it's a nude base with periwinkle/blue-grey lace, very soft and pretty. I used the model number on the bra's tag for Bratabase, but apparently the website product number is different. That's the exact bra I purchased, though.
So nowhere does it say either "5887125" or "776999" ? That's odd. Is that the same for any other ASOS bras you've purchased?
Maybe your number is for all the colourways but the one on the website is just for grey? ASOS... what a mystery :p
This is the first one I've purchased through them and yeah, their website is AWFUL. For one thing, they have 3 styles named "Remi" (Plunge, Underwire, and Lace), all different cuts. The Plunge style has 4 color listings on separate pages (Gray, Petrol (blue), Red, and Black). The product codes on the site are: 776999, 785997, 775532, and 774064. Those product codes do not show up on the bra's sizing tags. Unfortunately I've thrown away the price tags but I don't remember seeing the site product codes on them, either.
This is the first bra that I've ever ordered from Asos. The quality (as expected from other reviews of the brand) leaves a bit to be desired. Noticed loose threads/fraying immediately after taking it out of the package. Band definitely runs small at only 28 in stretched. My underbust is 27.5-28ish and I can wear it, but it's really tight. While I would prefer a slightly wider cup, 4.5 in width is acceptable for me provided that the separation is at least 1 in. But it isn't. It's .75. So it's too narrow and cuts into me on the sides ...a bit. Hard to tell in the pics though since it's all black and I'm small.
I hesitated between buying the 30C and the 30B since I'm a bit uneven. I went with the 30B, but the 30C wouldn't have worked either due to the band length. As expected, the 30B fits my right (smaller) side fine, but even though my left boob doesn't quad (woooo stretch lace!), it's definitely too big for the cup. Makes the 1/2 cup look closer to a 1/3 hah. Had to keep stuffing my nip down prior to taking the pics. I think the bra is really pretty and would exchange it for a 32A if possible in the hopes that a slightly wider cup would better accommodate my left side and not leave my right side swimming, but sadly that size is sold out.
I'm considering exchanging it for the 32B since I like it so much. I'm positive that it'll be too big on my smaller side, but since the stretch lace on the inside is not attached to the outer cup (see pic) I'm hoping that a few stitches will give me a more even look and eliminate the gaping/wrinkling situation that will most likely arise. Or I might just order it in red in a 32A since no size is sold out for that color. Buuuuut (just like everyone else apparently) I really want it in black!
Would be a good choice for a 28C I think. I know that I said that the quality wasn't great (and it certainly isn't upon close inspection), but it's not an everyday sort of bra anyway and is really very lovely looking. Given the price, I think it'd be worth it as a date night etc sort of bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Side note: I also ordered the matching panties in an XS/UK6/US2. According to their size guide I really should be an S/UK8-10/US4-6, but that size was sold out. Thought it was worth a shot since it's a thong, and I was right! Fits perfectly. So don't be afraid to order the XS in this one even if you're usually an S in panties. Read more 391 more words
I love the visual design of this bra. Despite the band length having a loose fit (probably due to the mesh material) it isn't unwearable. The cups fit well but the applique on one cup was placed slightly higher than the other causing wrinkling/a point at the top. It was visible underneath a fitted shirt but I was able to fix this with a few stitches.
Asos really went for cheap manufacturing these bras. The unlined cups are severely itchy. On one cup, the vertical dart met the horizontal seam awkwardly causing a large weird pucker. It looked like an air pocket for my nipple but my nipple didn't go there. The longline boning was great for my 26 band/back since it allowed for less stretch. I think the cups fit. It was difficult to tell with the lumpy and rough fabric. I'm returning this but would be willing to try the same style/size in a different (and lined) fabric.
Oh man Asos bras, I bought three and returned them before I gave up. It's a pity because they're so cute and affordable but you totally pay for it with quality. Or the lack thereof. All three I tried on had seams that didn't quite match and fit in very very strange ways (like you said, empty spaces that wrinkled/ stuck out funny) I even tried one of their bikini tops for larger busts (so with underwire) but that was a disaster too where the cups were too small and the gore was nowhere near sitting flat. If you end up getting another one I hope you have better luck!!
Hey
Which colour did you get? I can't find this code on the website
