This is more like a baby longline- not quite a full-fledged longline, but definitely more than a regular bra band. The band extends past the bottom of the cups, but only by a little bit. There is tall boning on the sides. It has three hooks. Three! Quite unusual in this size range.
The band was very firm. I did like it, even if I felt that it covered too much. Very supportive, but there's a reason I don't go for longlines. I'd say it runs small a size. Initially, anyway. It may be more true to size once it relaxes some.
The cups were wide and shallow and ...quite open on top. It did fit me quite well, but, well. The cups were not evenly constructed. There seems to be a bit more fabric on the right cup than on the left, and the top of the cups did not have the same sort of shape. It was probably exacerbated by the fact that my right breast is a bit wider and shallower, but there was a decent gap on the right but not on the left. The edge elastic on the cup wasn't firmly anchored to the lace (or the other way around) and the lace often edged on top of the elastic. It just looked like poor construction and poor quality.
I couldn't photograph the uneven cups satisfactorily, even with me wearing it. It wasn't something that could be expressed with measurements. The top edges of the cups were just uneven and asymmetrical.
Nice deep red colour. The cups were too small for me and the underwires too short. I like the fact that the band closes with three eyelets so it feels more supportive. Unfortunately the band is too big for me.
This might be the worst bra I've ever tried. It's a flimsy bra with only 1 hook so it gives almost no support whatsoever. The cups were too small and gave orange in a glass effect due to the closedness. The underwires were too short for me.
Cute bra lace cup bra, watch out if you have long nails. The cups feel very small on this bra. The elastic on top of them makes it worse as it cuts into my breasts. The band is very stretchy.
First off, I love the color of this bra and I love the design, but the shape it gives is... interesting. I quaded out of this pretty badly, largely because of how insanely closed the cup was. It was very much the "pointy elf shoe boob" with a bunch of quad on top of it. With a more open top I could call it retro and be okay with that. I wear vintage clothing a lot and sometimes you want a pointy bustline.
The fabric is not very high quality, there were a number of loose threads and frayed seams even brand new. Since I paid $13 on clearance ...I would give the quality a bit of a pass, but the regular price is outrageous. The fabric is at least very soft, but felt very susceptible to snags and pulls. There was a lot of wrinkling and puckering on the band and gore which did not go away on or off. The elastic straps for the cage felt fairly nice though.
The band felt fairly tight for a 30. I could wear it, but it wasn't quite comfortable. It might have been fine with an extender but I didn't have one when I tried it on. I think most people would want to size up in the cup and band on this one, but given its fairly limited size range a lot of people wouldn't be able to.
Needless to say, this one went back. Thank god for free returns. Read more 139 more words
Band is really stretchy, so it's comfortable even though it's a bit big for me. The cups are the main problem, they're shallow. Also, ten goshdarn hooks make it so hard to put on by yourself.
