---> pls read my edit at the bottom of the review, my feelings about this bra have changed.

I gave this bra a raving review back in spring 2020 when I got my first of these, check out my review of 32J - Bravissimo » Arla Bra (LN680) for more information.
Since then my size was all over the place and I went up in cup size 1-2 cups and maybe also a bit in band as I used to be between 30 -31 underbust and now I'm more around 31-32 underbust.

This Arla bra is a bit too small for me in band. I have to break ... it in with an extender. In hindsight I should have exchanged it for a 34 band, as it still feels very tight.
I really like all about it, the material, the support, the nice shape it gives. It's just that this bra does not do the same magic as my old 32J Arla did. It's after all just a bra - and it hurts me during the day at the underwire and I hope to remove it soon.
Old Arla went to hiking with me. I prefered it over a sport bra. This bra I'm not sure If I wanna wear if I don't have to (if it comes up in my rotation and I feel guilty of owning a bra I paid full price for I don't wear)

I really hope it's just a size thing - maybe that I fluctuate a bit on the larger side and the bra is just a bit too small. I hope it will fit better once I go down a bit in size (hopefully). I could try 32K or 34J/JJ but I don't feel like it currently. I'm not sure if the bra maybe just doesn't work so well above J - cup in general like all bras do. At some point they just fail at support large heavy busts.

Update Dec 2020, after owning the bra for 5 months, it has become one of my faves. I can wear it a full day without issues. It's supportive and comfortable. Since I'm a bit between sizes right now, I wear it with an extender (use 2 extra rows from the extender) and only wear it on my smaller days. I also like how the top edge of the bra underneath has light stretch (not stretchy like some lace bras but just light stretch in cup edge) and it doesn't cut in my FOT boobs as much as other bras who are a bit on the smaller side. I really love and recommend this bra in larger sizes if you like average wide wires - they are in this size just right for me. It is very supportive with a thick band and 4x4 hook closure and also looks really nice, the shape is rounded from the side and front and center (no east west going on) from the front!
