My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
Looked promising for an unlined (apart from the gore which I knew would not work), and I was willing to give it a try since it was cheap and I could return it. I also wanted to try out Target's new brand so I could see for myself what the quality and fit were like of the cups.
Pros: - Love the color - Love the little gold details - Lace is okay, not soft, but not itchy
Cons: - Cup is way too small for a DDD (possibly more suitable for shallow breasts) - Cup ...wires are too wide on the side and very bendy/flexible (flattens my breasts to an unflattering shape) - Top of cup cuts in a lot giving quadboob - Gore too wide - Band is very stretchy on tightest hooks
Overall, I think this was a good effort for an unlined bra in Target's new line. However the shallowness of the cup and its overall size make it super small and unflattering for my shape (full on bottom, tall shallow roots, close set). Read more 79 more words
A bra for right now version 2. The band on this is tight. I had to use an extender the first couple of times, and it's still at "you could fit one finger, if you ask nicely." The cups and wires are a better fit for me then the t-shirt bra, but there's still a bit of downward movement at the gore. I am FOB and center full, but being wide set, it mostly doesn't come into play, except for some reason in these Auden bras. If I force the gore up, the bottom part of it floats, so again, not a great fit, but good enough (read: not actively painful) while I'm searching for better.
Way too small. Very padded bra, lots of quad boob happening that it's not even workable. Band felt tight (maybe because the cups are too tight as well?).
Well, your band measurement is slightly less than 30” and your snug is slightly over 30” so it’s probably a case of a little bit of both. The band *is* small for a 32, yet the cups are too small and definitely taking up more space that would have been for the band. Given your measurements, I would say that a tight 32 or loose 30 would fit you. Something in the 31” stretched band measurement. Like a 30 band in a Cleo Mimi spot or rose print. Or 70 bands in Ewa Michalak and Comexim. You might need a 75 depending on what the band construction is and if it’s older or newer. Thanks for trying the new line out and reporting back!
Calluna Thank you for your insights! I have trouble figuring out which bands fit me best between the 30/32. I will agree with you that tight 30 bands are uncomfortable for me and most 32 are too loose (or I can already put the tightest hook). I ordered a 70F of Ewa Michalak from Magda since I figured the 65 would be deadly on my, lol Crossing my fingers for a good fit! I got this bra by Comexin http://bra.pe/X00K/ and even though the band seems small, it's stretchy and comfy. Plus the fit is very good too (a little bit minimizing, but a great round shape). Have you tried any of the unpadded Comexins?
You’re welcome. I hope it helps. I have tried 2 Comexim bras. One was a 60HH Victoria 3HC which was initially ok in the cup but bordered on tight for the band (it was not as stretched out as the seller had said it was) and I tried a 30G/65HH Jade plunge from another user. I’m quite curious about the unlined ones but I have mixed feelings and information about them. I do want to try the one that you linked though.
I’ll add with the 70F Ewa, her bras often have 4 columns of hooks, so even if you have to go in a hook, you technically still have 3 columns to go in the same way you would if it only had 3 columns. So, even if it’s a little loose on the loosest hooks, don’t worry about going in one row.
Jj Do you think you can change the model/style number for me? Thank you! 🙂
