  1. The Push-up Without Padding Bra (B10249)

    32F

    Didn't fit

    This bra is gorgeous and well-made, but just dramatically too small in the cups. The band runs very tight as well, a 32 band would be suitable for people who enjoy a snug 30, as this bra only stretched to 29.75 with a fair amount of pressure. Note that BARE uses US sizing as the default, this is a UK 32F and a U.S. 32G.

    • I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who found this bra to run way too small. Most of the reviews I see say it fits great (I tried to review as well but didn't see mine posted), but I got the 30H US (30FF UK), which is my normal size, and found it to be much smaller in both the band and cups than even my 28G Cleos. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not going crazy, lol.

    The band on this was much firmer/tighter than I was expecting. Fortunately I am in between 28 and 30, so it worked out okay, however if you run on the larger side of your band size, consider sizing up. Overall it is quite comfy, though it is not the best fit for me. The wires are pretty wide, and the cups are on the smaller side, so you may want to size up here too. I personally couldn't because the wires are already wide enough for me as is, so I will just deal with some small quadding. FOT shapes may have a rough time with this bra.

    This bra is very pretty. I’ve been looking for a functional everyday bra that is sexy and practical and this one seemed appropriate. The unpadded push up part had me very curious and it seemed like something that would word for me given it was in fact it is advertised to be. And I am not disappointed. I haven’t had luck with unpadded bras in 30:7 so I sized down. The cup on my bigger side cuts a bit into tissue slightly which is only visible when wearing a fitted shirt it’s nothing worth acknowledging really. I’ve accepted that I’m never finding a “perfect” fit. The comfort and quality of this bra works for me. My only issue is that the straps are too wide for my small frame. But luckily they cross cross in the back which fixes that right up. Only can’t wear it with a tank top so…. If it weren’t for this issue I’d probably get more colors in this style.

  4. Essential Lace Curvy Bralette

    30G

    The quality is excellent, and material soft! It gives nice lift while not having an underwire & my boobs fill it nicely/fit well ! The straps are quite wide for my narrow shoulders, but doesnt really effect the fit. The cups are also quite tall/almost go into my underarm area but again doesn't effect much. My big fit issue though, lies within the band and it's stretch. I'm normally a 28FF (UK size) and this band is way too tight for me (even with going up a band size !) I was wearing this comfortably with an extender for a while, but the lace below the cups isn't stretchy/soft enough for my bony rib cage (I can only wear Comexim Longlines as they have soft wires that don't bother my rib cage). I'm not shocked to learn that the band measures to barely 24 inches, and barely 28 inches stretched. As per usual, the black color's band is slightly smaller than the other color/s. Perhaps this would best fit a 26F?

    Okay , can't deny this is such a lovely shade of blue ! The quality is excellent, and material soft! It gives nice lift while not having an underwire & my boobs fill it nicely/fit well !

    This is a pretty bra itself but it looks weird on me.

    Cup volume is good but it gives a weird shape on me. The side support digs in and the apex is pointy. Also a get both a bit of wrinkles on the top part of the cup and quadding because of the elastic border. This is a construction issue think.

    It could be a good fit for someone who is more FOB.

    36G

    Hasn't set fit

    I am a 36F (UK). My shape is projected and full on top.

    Band: Difficult to fasten, but feels snug and sits parallel to the ground.
    Wires: Slightly wide on me.
    Gore: Tall on this bra, doesn't sit against my skin at the top. A good width for my shape.
    Cup size: When I swoop and scoop, the upper cup is slightly loose. There's a gap I can slide my finger in. Meanwhile, the underarm (not the underwire) is digging into my arm pits. Because of this, keeping the cups sitting on my inframammary fold is difficult.
    Straps: Nothing to complain about.

    The biggest problem for me is the underarm digging in.

    This bra creaks when it stretches... Also, there is too much room in the top of the cup for me, and because the straps are positioned so widely, tightening the straps does not fix the gapping.
