I have shallow conical breasts that was measured at a 28DD. I first got this bra in a 30D, and it gapped slightly at the top (especially for my smaller side). It wasn't too noticeable though because of the lace, but figured I should order a smaller cup size to see if it fit better. The 30C is too small for me. It was too short especially - the apex was too low for my nipple. Still such a pretty color and keeping the 30D!
I love the look of these bras, so I bought three to figure out which size I am. Turns out I'm a 30D/32C, this one is far too small. So gorgeous in person, though. I would say this is great for women who are fuller on the bottom - I really like not having the extraneous fabric at the top of the cups, plus these are great to wear under a low-cut dress.
This is my second 30C bra. My first is the @Ciao Bella Balconette (953144) by the same brand. They both fit me. I'm not sure if this fits like other brands of 30C though. This is my favorite new strapless and favorite molded bra! It is very comfortable and makes me look great. However... if I scoop my breasts in, I notice slight spillage, but also the cup at the bottom bends in some and I'm not sure if that's normal. I do not know exactly how a bra should fit because I only recently switched from 32A's.
This is a cute bra, and fits nicely, but the side underwire is probably why I love it. It feels like it's hugging me in a super stable, supportive way.
This bra is pretty, comfortable, and lightweight. The only things I don't like about it are that the underwire squeaks when I move a lot or breathe deeply, and that it doesn't come in a 28 band. I have to wear this on the tightest hook when it's new.
Way too small for me all around, which surprised me because my older 30D - B.tempt'd By Wacoal » How Gorgeous T-shirt Bra (953119) is on the borderline of being too large now in the cups. Also, I tried a 30D - B.tempt'd By Wacoal » Sheer Delight T-shirt Bra (953279) at one point that was close to being too large. I had "quadboob" in this bra (most apparent in the right side view) and the band is much too tight for a size 30; it measured 28" stretched. In the back photo it can be seen that the loosest hooks ...are really straining. The bottom cups displayed the fabled "orange in a glass" effect, which is to say the lower cup wrinkles because it is not filled correctly. On the bright side the low gore height and low wing height felt good. I really love this classic bra style, and it is incredibly difficult to find a bra like this that doesn't have a mattress' worth of padding in it. It seems like it may be comfortable and supportive in the right size, so I may try a 32C at some point. Read more 94 more words
Love this bra. I measure as a 30DD but because I'm shallow I tried this bra in a 30C. Very comfortable and the best one I've found so far. Unfortunately it pushes some of my tissue out the side. I want to keep it but my quest for the perfect bra is going to keep me looking.
I have the version in white and received this black one as an exchange. It's pretty and I think it looks even better than the white one, but if you look in my pictures the band is definitely longer than the white one for some reason. I am currently wearing this on the second hook. I don't think it has been stretched out as it was still new with tags when I received it. Otherwise it's similar in fit to the white one and again the straps don't adjust all the way. On the shortest length it is just enough to stay on my shoulders so I'm wary of the day the straps start stretching out.
The fit is... okay, but the cups are just a tad too small. It's not uncomfortable though. The apex of the bra is just a tad too low and the cup width is a tad too narrow. It's a better fit than the 30D but it's still not perfect. It's a fit I could live with. It makes me look like I actually have breast tissue. The top of the cup is quite forgiving of my tall roots, and I only get quadboob if I arch my back like crazy. The gore tacks, mostly, though it seem to lift when I squish my breasts together. Probably another indication ...that the cups are a bit too small.
The side of the bra between the boning and the cup is padded as well, which I think is mitigating any possible cup discomfort. The wire itself is also quite low- there's maybe half an inch of just wire padding with no wire. I'm fairly certain that I would have to wear the bra for a day to really determine whether the minor fit issues would be a problem or not. I've decided not to keep it though. I'm not that fond of the way it looks, and the lace, especially at the seaming, is rather bumpy. It's not perfectly smooth. I don't wear tight shirts, so that's not really a problem for me, but I feel like a well-fitting (and well made) bra shouldn't have fit-issue-esque bumps on it.
I really wanted to like this bra, but I appear to be in-between sizes in this particular bra. Also, the straps are still not short enough, which is another reason not to keep it.
I did kind of like the way that the underwires, cups, and sides all looked the same from the front. Yes, it hides fit issues, but it's kind of elegant and gives a smooth image. Read more 207 more words
i wear a 28D and am moderately shallow, slightly conical, and slightly wide. i am average set and even.
i needed a strapless bra to wear under my dress for a dance, so i ordered this along with two decos in 28D and 28DD. ultimately i chose the deco 28D over the faithfully yours.
faithfully yours has sewn-in push up pads, which kind of turns me off (because they make me insecure about "lying" and my boobs not being big enough. it is a personal preference). i filled out the bottom of the cup, but it cut into me at the top.
This bra is freaking awesome. It is shallow enough and the right width and looks pretty. But it doesn't come in the right band size. My heart is broken. I sister sized up to 30C so I would have something to encapsulate my breasts in, but after a couple months the band has stretched enough that it is just too much to bear. I won't be wearing a bra for a little while until I find one that actually fits.
This bra is really cute! The wires squeak like nobody's business, though. That just may be a manufacturing issue with this one bra.
It's pretty comfortable. My only beef is that I have to adjust it a lot to keep it from riding up/keeping the band parallel to the cups. It kinda cuts into the skin under my arms, but not enough to make it a big issue.
This bra either is the complete wrong shape for me or completely the wrong size, and I'm not certain which. I have another b.tempted bra in another model in a 32B that seems to fit in the cups but is way too large in the band. Oh my! It's a very cute bra though, and I wish I could make it work for me.
This is the smallest/tightest 30C bra that I own. The cups are definitely too small (quad boob) and the band is a bit too tight on the loosest setting. (Not too tight to wear, just too tight to be 100% comfortable.) I'd like to try it in a 30D. The sides are NOT high enough for all my tissue.
I really wanted to like this bra, it is so cute and looks great with the matching underwear, sadly though there are some fit issues and I have to send this back. First the cups are just a bit too narrow for me, perhaps if they had a 28 band it would stretch the cups a bit wider but I am already on the tightest hook and while it is ok it could be tighter and still be comfortable. The big issue I have with the fit though is that I get a really weird gap right where the cup meets the center gore, I think it is ...due to the firm molding of the cups as compared to other similar contour balconettes I have it seems to project forward very quickly at the gore. The shape would probably be better for someone with more projected and close set breasts, for my shallower wide set pair however, I get this deep skinny gap, like I could stick a pencil in. The gap does not show under clothing and I am tempted to keep this because I love the look but with the band size, narrower cups and gap it is just not quite right for me. The quality is good and I do like that it has some comfort padding at the wings and between the center gore which makes it really nice for a skinny ribcage. Read more 132 more words
My ideal size would be a 28 C/D and I found this bra to actually mold to my breasts really well! I do have to scoop and swoop everything I have and I fill them, but after a couple hours when my boobs settle there is very mild gapping in the top of the cups.
I think this might be due to the band being a little stretchier and longer overall than what I need with a 28 band. I decided to alter the band in the band and bring it in about 1.5 inches and the shortened band length really helps to keep them in place.
I have a ...pretty athletic chest with generally shallow breasts, pretty even (maybe a little FoB) with most of the tissue and weight on the outer sides of my breasts. I find that this bra really accommodates wider set breasts well and pushes them inwards. I'm pretty sure I look like I'm an extra cup size bigger due to this bra.
The gore and the band are very soft and theres some spongy padding on the gore wires so they are incredible comfortable.
Not the most sexy looking bra when shirtless but it does a great smooth job underneath thin, sheer shirts and t-shirts Read more 99 more words
This is my first size 30 bra band and I like how it fits, snug and not uncomfortable. The lace lies pretty flat at the top. Because it's lined, the cups don't wrinkle up even on the smaller-boob side, yay! I could do without the bow on the front but otherwise I like it.
The construction and materials are very good, just like I would expect from Wacoal. Only flaw I found was the lace that lines the bottom of the cups tends to fold up while wearing the bra. I've had this bra for 7 months, and by now I need to use the middle or tightest hook for it to feel like it stays up without straps. The straps that come with it are cute and work well. The cup is too shallow for me because I quad-boob at the top of the cups a little (not too obvious, though), and the wires don't catch all of my side breast tissue. If I had tried it in D cup, I may have had better luck. This style doesn't come in a 28 band, but I was able to wear the 30.
I have more trouble with filling out the top half of this bra with my smaller breast. Even on the 'better' side, the little lace at the top doesn't want to lie down nicely much of the time. The band is also too big for me, and the gore keeps wanting to dig in a bit too much, but other than that it's fine.
