The 32DD - Calvin Klein » Perfectly Fit Modern T-shirt Bra (F3837) is a lightly lined, full coverage, t-shirt bra that features a very soft microfiber stretch material in the band, gore, and straps. The band runs small but stretches out quickly with wear, and then it doesn't budge. I would anticipate a "breaking in" period with this model in one's true size. The wide-set straps are good for broad shoulders and have color-matched metal hardware. So, in nymph pink, the hardware is also pink. The straps are half soft microfiber stretch material and half elastic. Like the band, the microfiber part of the straps tends ...to stretch out with wear -- which is my only real complaint with this bra. One has to really be EXTREMELY careful about pulling on them. I've found the band and the top half of the straps have a hard time returning to their previous state once pulled. By the end of the day, the straps are usually falling off my shoulders and consequently, I'll have to tighten them. The straps are also not fully adjustable, just FYI. The back hook-and-eye closure is faintly cushioned and has 2-rows and 3-columns (in the 32DD). The thin 3/16" underlined cups are made of memory foam and for the most part, do well under t-shirts. The underwire and cups give a nice round shape to my tall rooted, averagely projected chest. The cups are supposedly made of a type of stretch material as well and I've heard people say the cups formed to their chest. However, I haven't noticed anything except that the cups stretch out with wear (much like the straps, band, and gore). Also, it should be said that there are no seams; everything has just been fused together. I assume this is part of what makes it hand wash only. However, I threw it in the wash and dryer and it came out like new. I had to break it in again. I'll probably get less mileage on it like this, but... On the whole and despite its "failings," I have really enjoyed wearing this bra. It's comfortable and light. I've even slept with it on. It's my favorite piece right now. Read more 262 more words
Finally a bra that actually fits! Like many I'd worn the wrong size for years, so I followed Bratabase's measurements and recommendations and order this bra based on those. For reference my sizes are 30DD/E and 32DD/E and I am 5'6'' with bottom heavy breasts. This bra, while not the fanciest, is very comfortable and feels really silky-smooth on my skin. It is able to properly support my breasts and doesn't leaving gaping or wrinkles at the top like my other ill-fiting bras do.
feels super comfortable, besides cutting into armpits. wish it fit. too wide for boobs and cuts into front of boobs, causing quad boob effect. feels too open in front, probably bc a demi. would be interested to see if it comes in a balconette, one cup size up probably.
Heads up, this is my sister size! I recently began my ABTF journey and decided to get a bunch of different sizes of the same bra on Amazon so I could test out my new sizes and return them easily. The calculator gave me 30DD/30E (on different days) and recommended I sister-size to 32DD. I'm still figuring out my shape and I don't think I'm very suited to t-shirt bras but I still wanted to try. 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. I also reviewed a 30DD - ...Calvin Klein » Perfectly Fit Modern T-shirt Bra (F3837) and I have some similar comments there.
[Disclaimer - I have only tried it on]
PROS: - Comfortable (except the wires) and soft - Generally liked the shape - Didn't notice any empty space inside the cup - Didn't cut into my tails of spence - Band was perfect size for me - No uncomfortable seams - Feels supportive
CONS: - Gore doesn't tack - Slight gapping on larger side - Wires came down too low and pressed into my ribs - Excess fabric above the wire but it laid flat on my chest
I know this is a full-coverage bra but I feel like the amount of fabric was a little too much and made it seem like I had two large black circles on my chest, particularly with the excess above the wire. It could be a stature issue since I am 5'4 but it overall just seemed disproportionate to my size even though it fit okay. I think a 30DDD would work best for me but unfortunately it's not an option. I preferred the 30DD. Read more 172 more words
I really liked this bra when I bought it; it has just a slight strip of padding at the bottom of the cup to round out the top of my breast a little. At this point the bra is old and pretty stretched out - I'm not sure if the measurements are useful or if I should pull them off bratabase. Still not the best shape for me but this an ok bra for me - definitely comfortable
This bra gave me a similar shape as the Natori Feathers I tried. It's too shallow at the center, gives me a center quad boob, and pushes my tissue towards the sides. Not charming. It is very comfortable, so it's probably a great bra for some.
Extremely comfortable bra! Very stretchy, soft fabric, wide-ish underwires, runs a little big in the band and a little small in the cup (I could probably wear a 32E or 30E if Calvin Klein did E cups), also probably suits wider-spaced folks more than close-set. Gives me less of a round, lifted shape than I'd expect from a "push-up" bra but still a good everyday choice.
This bra seems to minimize projection a bit (unlike its smaller-cup sister sized versions), which could be a positive for some users, but isn't a great feature for me personally. It's a really nice bra, though, with a soft feel.
This bra is just too wide for me, both in cup and straps. I ordered the 32 DD because this bra doesn't come in a 30DDD. I had the 30 DD, and while it was still rather wide, it fit quite comfortably. The 32 DD straps push into my underarm area and chafe. I cannot wear it.
Bra is very pretty, has a super soft material and lightly padded cups. I'm assuming it would look great under a thin shirt as even the underwire is concealed. However, it's not quite the right shape for me, and tends to gap at the top. Band is tight for a 32.

This is a good bra for v necks or anytime you'd like to have a bit of cleavage. This is a contour bra, but the padding is very minimal to create a little lift. My only real gripe is that the contouring is a bit too structured and based on a more even or full on top shape than mine. Also, the apex is a little wide for me. If I were going to purchase this again, I'd probably get the size 30 band.
I think of this bra as my slip-n-slide bra. The padding and my breast shape are in a constant battle to occupy the same space. Ultimately my breasts win, pushing the bra down. The band is both too loose and too smooth to stay put- it just slides on down. And the satin straps can't be bothered to stay put either.
It's a pretty bra- love the lace- but it's fundamentally incompatible with my FOB shape.
Beautiful cobalt blue color, simple molded cup styling. One of the softer, more comfortable CK bras I've tried. I'd prefer the wings just a tad wider since I have a little underarm fat poking out on my left side. Right side is better, so that's likely just my issue with one breast being bigger than the other. Band seems a little wide for a 32 as it feels best on the last hooks. Hopefully, it'll last for a bit.
This bra gapes just a little bit at the top of the cup after scooping and swooping, but otherwise, I'm pretty sure it fits perfectly - except that the straps and the part of the cup between the strap and the wing dig into my underarms so terribly that it kills by the end of the day.
30DDDD does not exist anywhere. :) Ehat you mean is 30E
