    32DDD

    Fits

    This 32DDD version of this bra fits me a little better than the 32DD Betsey Johnson Stocking Stripe bras that I have. It encompasses more of my breast tissue and I don't have the slight quadboobing that I get from the 32DD's. The only problem that I have with the cup size up is the height of the cups. They come up so high that they are right under the crease of my arm pit, which is a little uncomfortable. It also causes the cups to gape a little when I put both arms forward. My arm movement actually pushes the top of ... the cup forward. I had the same thing happen when I tried on the 32DDD size of the Natori Hidden Glamour Underwire bra. I don't have any problems with any of my 32DD bras, just when I try to size up a cup. Not sure what I'm going to do if I get sized out of my 32DD bras. Most of the cup shapes that fit my shallow shape on top are plunge or three-quarter style cup shapes that come up higher on the outer edges. Full coverage cups that are farther away from my armpit just don't fit my breast shape well, and half-cup balconette styles are hit or miss. I'm starting to realize that I'm built a little higher up on the chest wall than I realized. Oh well, guess I'll figure out what to do when it becomes more of a necessity to size up to 32DDD!

    • I think at that point you'll have to find a different brand. That often happens as our sizes change

    • So, are there different brands and models that fit shallow shapes that don't come up higher on the outer side of the cup? That seems to be a defining feature for what style of cup fits shallow breasts.

    • Sometimes half cups do better. And just different brands sometimes fit differently. and then there's always the custom-fit cut-lower cups from Comexim.

    • I'm sad this one didn't work out for you. I will say that if you're having trouble with the side wall and wings being too tall, and you want to try the half-cup styles I have, you probably won't have much luck with them. I had problems with Orange In A Glass and quad boob, but never had issue with the sides being too tall, and a lot of my Fauve half-cups (and the Freyas I've tried) come up even higher. For me, that was great! For you, it sounds like it may or may not.

      Natori works beautifully for me, for reference. I think I have more projection than you do, though.

      Oh, I wouldn't say it didn't work out for me. I love the color of this one, such a pretty and intense blue. The armpit thing is just a minor irritant, but it doesn't make the bra unwearable by any means. It will be going into my rotation of bras to wear.

      It just made me more aware of the problem of needing slightly shorter cups on the top outside edge so they don't end up in my armpit crease. The irony is that the taller edge of the cup along the center of my chest contains my really soft breast tissue much better than the 32DD cups.

      I actually love having higher wings on the side of the band. That plus wider wires helps contain all of the breast tissue that actually sits under my armpit, which is at least a third of my breasts, unfortunately. I just don't need my Tail of Spence in the cup!

      Looking at the pictures of the front on shot of both of us wearing this bra it's really obvious that you've got more length from the bottom edge of the underwire to your shoulder line than I do. The top of the cup comes up much higher on me. It kind of looks like it's trying to crawl right over the top of my shoulder. lol

    • I did notice in the photos that the distance to your shoulder looks a lot shorter than mine. I also noticed in recent photos that I tend not to notice when side walls are almost-in-my-armpit (as opposed to actually in it), even though in photos they look SO HIGH, so that definitely affects both our perspectives!

      I am glad you like it! The blue is why I got it. It was never technically perfect, because I have tall roots and it cut me off sometimes on period days, but I just couldn't say no to the color. :)

    White/Nude color is great for under lighter colored shirts. Fits wide root, shallow breasts well. Bra makes minor creaking noises when worn.

    Great fit for shallow breasts with wide roots. Slight creaking noises from bra during sudden movements.

    Much brighter pink then most online pictures show, almost neon pink. Fit is nearly perfect. Slight quadboob on larger breast. Wires are wide enough to encase the tissue under my armpit instead of squashing it. May have to go up a cup size after a few months as I have extra tissue that is finally in a bra cup that fits for the first time ever. Minor creaking noises from bra with sudden movements.

    This bra is very pretty. The material feels soft and comfortable (the lace isn't scratchy at all) but snags very easily. The lace trim on the cups is somewhat tighter than the cup itself, so it causes a little quad-boob along the top even though the cup itself fits. The bra has a hook to turn the straps into a racer back, which is a nice detail.

    Didn't fit

    I love the stretchy band!! It's really comfortable too. Although it fits really well, I'm not sure if it's the perfect fit for me. I just posted about the 30D - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) . So in the 30D the right cup gets a little wrinkle in the lace, and in this bra, the left cup get a little wrinkle in the lace which I'm guessing is a normal issue as one will always be bigger than the other. Other than that it seems to fit comfortable.

    I think that without the lace on the cup, this would be perfect. The wrinkle in the ... left cup is somewhat visible underneath my clothes in a tight fitting shirt, but otherwise looks fine. The gore is comfortably against my sternum too. And like the Natori Feathers, even though the top of the gore is against my sternum, the bottom isn't flat against my chest - does this mean that the bra doesn't fit me correctly? Or is this because I am very small?

    I fill the bottom of the cup well, though I'm wondering if the lace looks like it fits me well? Is that how it's supposed to fit?

    Hasn't set fit

    Comfortable and a good fit!

    My body is in a state of flux right now, so I bought this bra on sale in a cup size larger than my usual. It feels a little big, but I am pretty sure I normally have to buy bras that run on the smaller side of a 30B cup.

    The shape I get from this bra is nice and rounded.

    The worst part of this bra is the texture... I don't know if I got a defective one since it was on super sale, but the outside of the bra feels sticky, like a rubberized texture or something. It's weird and unexpected.

    34DD

    Didn't fit

    I tried this bra as a part of True & Co's "Home Try On" (which unfortunately they no longer offer). I tried it in a 34D, which they recommended, and got a whole lot of quadboob - though the band felt great. A few months after I decided to buy it on Ebay for a pretty decent discount in a 34DD. The 34DD definitely fits better and is quite comfortable. I think this bra will be a bra that I don't wear too often though… it's cute and comfy, but definitely better for shallow boobs. Mine are more projected. The other reason I probably won't wear this bra too often is because the texture of the lines/design on the cups are noticeable under tight clothing.

    UPDATE: Wore this for the first time today … the cups are WAY too shallow… and a little too "East/West" direction for me. I don't want to since it's so pretty, but it looks like I may have to sell this one.

    The lace lining at the top of the cup doesn't stay flat under tops or dresses, and I wish I had known this prior to keeping the bra. Otherwise, it's a very comfortable bra. Not fantastic for shallow breasts, as the cup is tall and leaves a bit of room considering I don't have much tissue on the top of my breast.
