Australian brand Bonds have finally produced a bra for bigger boobed customers! This bra isn't really anything exciting to look at, but fits pretty well, and it a bargain at $29 from Big W.
The cups are a good fit, I usually wear a 30G, so it would suggest the cups run a size small. This would make sense, as Australian sizing doesn't use FF, so goes straight from F to G cup.
The cups work well for my wide set boobs, I don't know if this would work well for fuller, closer set breasts as the plunge is very low and the tops of the cups aren't ...very forgiving.
I really love the low wings and thin straps, makes it perfect for wearing under strappy tops. The fabric is beautifully silky so very comfortable on the skin.
This bra only starts at a 32 band, so of course it is a bit looser than I'd normally wear. However, it doesn't ride up unless I've been running or jumping around a lot.
I wore this for a whole day of work, running after children and cleaning the house. It's certainly not the most supportive bra out there, but I didn't need to re-adjust at all.
Very exciting to see this from Bonds, it also comes in a bright pink colour which is pretty fun looking. Hopefully the start of a larger full-bust range for us Australian girls!

Blah, I should know better than to bother with Bonds anymore. . . I can squeeze into an Elomi F if need be, but my cups overfloweth in a Bonds G cup every time. Not to mention this silly thing doesn't even have adjustable straps, & you've gotta contort yourself to get into the racerback strap configuration. I really need to not bother from hereon in.
I'm narrow, FOT/middle, close set and measure between 30DD/E.
Picked this up at a Bonds factory outlet for $20 (AUD), the lady advised the cups were generous so gave this a try and it's almost perfect. The band is a bit tight so using an extender, the tightness is more around the gore, I think a 30DD would be perfect (have one of these in 30E also and it's just a tad big/wide in the cups but still wearable).
Quality is ok for a cheapie everyday bra. Material is smooth.
The bra has a weird fit on me... I spill out the top but the bottom wrinkles unless I pull it up constantly or have the straps fully adjusted. The straps tend to unadjust themselves after a few hours though so I tend to not bother and just let it wrinkle. The underwire digs in a bit and tends to leave marks along my ribcage and the band rides up occasionally too. I think that my main problem is that my boobs sit too high for a bra like this.
