This bra is mighty comfortable! The material is soft and doesn't cause irritation. Straps are a good width. It doesn't show through a fitted T-shirt. (The shirt is black, and the bra is a light pink color.) I'm still figuring out my size, and although it should hypothetically fit me, there was always a small gap between the cups and my chest, at both the front and back. It becomes more prominent when I lean over. The only issue other than ill fit was that the part of the gore near the front can feel a bit rough. Not super itchy, but rough enough that it can be a bit distracting. Nevertheless, it's a great bra! I hope to get one that fits me better soon. :^)
Underwire and band were super comfortable. Unfortunately I think this bra is too shallow for me. Also, straps were not stretchy, which was a little uncomfortable.
This was my first bra that fit, albeit not that well. The cups are too shallow for me and the straps too wide, so they consistently slip off and I bulge out of the top a little even though the underwires sit where they should. Even after a few years of occasional wear, the band has held firm. The shape is nicely rounded but not hemispherical, and the lace isn't too obtrusive, although it does show under thin shirts. I have it in black and in pink, and both colors look great.
I wanted this bra to work for me so bad, it's quite comfortable and feels nice quality. Unfortunately the cups wobble at the top a little, like they seem filled when my shoulders are back but there's the faintest W shape to the top rim. If I lean forward at all, the cup rims come away from my chest at like double the size. Yikes!
This is such a beautiful bra(color, shape) but it's definitely too small on me. Maybe a little too shallow but I definitely need to size up but unfortunately b.tempt'd doesn't make 30F :'( I measured as a 30E with ABTF calculator. I think I fall on the normal to slightly shallow side with tall roots and even to FOB shape. My left boob is slightly larger. With this bra I'm spilling out a ton on the left side with the gore sitting on my left boob tissue. Also this is the second bra I tried with part non-stretchy bra strap. Why are the straps on the 30 band bras all so short?? I had to adjust it to the longest and it still feels tight on my shoulders.
This bra is lightly padded with two-part foam cups. There is a decent amount of give in them so if you run a little large, this bra should accommodate that.
This is my second experience trying the Ciao Bella. The first time, I was still figuring out my size and tried a 30DD, which definitely did not fit! I ordered a 32DDD this time. I did not expect it to be so projected, so I ended up with the wrong size. In your typical shallow Wacoal or Natori bra, I can wear a US 32DDD (sister size when no G cup is available) or 30G (normally I wear US 30DDD), however this one fit more like a 32G/30H from those brands. I'll be returning this one as well.
I have a long torso and the straps did not adjust. I usually have to adjust them pretty close to their full extension. There was no way this was going to work. Returned- I wish I knew the straps were not adjustable before I ordered it.
A solid option all around! This is the first bra I got after properly measuring myself so I'm ecstatic that my chest doesn't feel constantly squished when wearing a bra. The band is comfortably snug, the cups fit my breasts well, and I can wear this one for an entire day without discomfort. The style is simple and functional without any bells or whistles, but that's just fine for me. If I could change anything at all, I'd wish that the cups were spaced just a little further apart or the underwire was just a little wider because my boobs are spaced fairly far apart, but it's not so significant that it makes the bra uncomfortable and I feel that this bra would be a great daily wear choice for most people!
This is a nice bra it just doesn’t fit me. If I squish some boob down and out the sides it isn’t totally obvious so I think I’ll hang onto it until I find my perfect fit. My entire tit doesn’t fall out when I bend over the way they used to with my old 34d Victoria’s Secret bra 🥴 so this is a step in the right direction
This is pretty much the exact same shape as the Wacoal How Perfect, but the band is looser (more true to size, I think, since the Wacoal version was so tight I had to size up the band). It's less expensive, and I like the satiny face fabric, which picks up less lint than the How Perfect. The band on my black one feels looser than the nude one, which seems about right, maybe a bit too stretchy. I'm not a fan of the racerback J-hook: in racerback configuration, it caused the armpit area of the bra to feel tight and cut in a bit. But in parallel strap configuration, this is a very comfortable bra.
The cups are more projected and possibly taller than Wacoal Amazing Assets and the band is a little longer. It looks super cute but it gapes at the top of the cups on me
The wires come up into the gore a bit more than I like, but they're not uncomfortable. Cup material is soft but stays shaped. This bra feels less stretchy than most @Wacoal or @B.tempt'd I've tried or owned. Watch out for the straps if you have narrow shoulders or a smaller frame. The straps are wide-set and since they are partly made of an inelastic ribbon material, they do not have as much give as regular bra straps. If I tighten them to my usual preferred tightness, they will fall off my shoulders if I lean due to the stiffness. If I make them extra tight, the lack of give feels restrictive when moving. When the straps fall down, they bind my shoulders because they don't stretch much. Comes in interesting colors. Attractive, mostly comfortable, and affordable bra but hard to pull off if straps falling down is an issue.
For reference, I am petite (5'1"), with some asymmetry due to mildly tuberous breasts, east-west, and somewhat shallow breast tissue.
I got this particular color bra as my "nude" color. I have very cool, rosy pink undertones and I find that even nude colored bras made for Caucasian women always have a warm undertone to them. This pale pink color does not show through under any light or pastel colored outfits that I wear.
But oh wow, this bra makes me so pointy looking. I wear this bra with looser fitting outfits vs. a bodycon dress.
oof ouch owie my sternum!!!! STRAPS; i don't know if it's the very very silky fabric used for the straps, my bad posture, or WHAT but if they DON'T feel like they're digging in at the tops they're falling off. they're too far apart also again, digging RIGHT into my armpit even more than my first 30dd, starting to think i just have narrow shoulders >_< UNDERWIRES; the outer edges do technically go onto my breast tissue unless i JUST scoop and swooped (my boobs tend to swim in this bra, more in cups section), but for some reason it's not uncomfortable at all? so i think it's wide enough ...it's just all the OTHER issues that get in the way? could afford to be very slightly wider though, the bottom underwire is fine no issues past me not knowing where to put my bra, the GORE. HOO BOY. i fold up toilet paper to put in the gore to cushion it's so uncomfortable. if i didn't know i can't handle tall gores before i know now!!!! also the gore is wide enough it goes on my breast tissue but again, it doesn't hurt? or if it does i can't tell over how much the underwire is attacking my sternum lol CUP; not sure? i'm almost certain it's too projected for me, right after scoop and swooping and with shoulders back/sticking chest out my bigger boob fits it just about perfectly with only some gapping right next to the gore and not filling the very bottom at all, my smaller boob doesnt.... take into it as much as my bigger one does? if i slouch EVEN SLIGHTLY/am not sticking my chest out there's gaping at the top on both, if i have my normal posture you could see my nipples if the top wasnt so closed. i think this cup is ultimately just too tall for me and too projected(??? i can fill it when i'm sticking my chest out fine and the weird vertical-pointiness fits my poofy nipples well i guess? but bras are probably not supposed to be sized to your nipple so). also yeah if you're looking for a rounded soft appearance this isn't the bra for you it makes my boobs look perky and bigger as a result of that but the lacy fabric on the outside isn't sewn to the padding and has a big vertical seam right over the nipple that sticks out a good amount and makes your boobs look pointy/kinda like you arent wearing a bra (or at least not a padded one), so that's interesting. not really a problem for me as i like a pointier boob look but i'm not sure i like it when mixed with perkiness BAND; too loose! i decided to try a bra in the "fits 30 inch ribcage" section, this one is 30.2 which sounded perfect cause i'm bony so a looser band sounds good... but my snug underbust is 29.5 inches. on loosest hook if i pull my arms up it goes on my boobs not a lot but like, a centimeter or two higher than i'd usually put it, it feels like my boobs are falling through/not being supported even if i dont do that, it's to the point when i want actual support i go to the middle hook (it has 3) and then it's pretty okay? it still feels a little roomy for my boobs in the cup which is probably due to the tallness and when i pull my arms up it still goes up Slightly, but it's okay, not uncomfortable either at least comfortable compared to the Gore Of Death. with the backwards-and-upside-down trick on loosest hook it is falling down LOADS in the back AND uncomfortable/chafing? middle hook stays in place better but it's hard to tell anything else cause of the chafing(?) and also oof ouch owie the squeezing. WHAT I LEARNED; tall gores are unbearable for me, maybe 29.5-30 inches exactly is a better band measurement for me, non-shallow bras are gonna make me sad, i love padding!!! please hide my nipples thank you!!! i need shorter/opener bras in general, underwire might just always be uncomfortable for me?? impulse buying the first bra i see on sale is...a learning experience for sure, but i want /comfortable/ bras now. don't try to put on a brand new bra with even slightly wet nails lol!!

I'm full on bottom and center, with wide and tall roots, and fairly projected. However my tissue is super soft and although moldable, it tends to pool in the bottom of the cups some. So the top of the cup isn't as full as I'd like, but this is the best combination of fit, appearance, and comfort I have found of 40+ bras I've tried.
The bra is smooth, soft, and gives a nice rounded shape. When I spotted it on sale for $11 on Amazon (11 is not a typo!), I bought 3 more!
This bra has a band that feels tighter than others, probably because it stretches less. The cup size works well because it is more of a half cup so covers my bottom nicely without gapping too much on top. This was the bra that made me realize I am very FOB. One downside is I can really feel the band constricting my ribcage. I have only worn it 3-4 times so maybe I can either get used to this kind of fit or get a non-stretchy bra extender. It is not my most comfortable bra but I love the way it makes me feel and I love the lace.
I'm still figuring out my shape but I believe I'm mostly FOB and center-full, fairly close-set with indenting/deflation near tail of spence, and pretty narrow-rooted with some height and some projection. My true size is 30DDD but I had to sister-size for this one.
[Disclaimer - I have only tried it on]
PROS: - Very comfortable - Super cute - Love the demi cut - Band is very stretchy - Seems supportive
CONS: - Some gapping at the top, especially with movement
I feel like this bra is a little too shallow for me but I really liked it. It's one of the best and comfiest fits I've found so far! I wish it came in my true size because I feel like that would be better. This bra would be probably better for someone with more roundness/fullness at the top.
