This was the first bra that truly fit me! I think this bra is very comfortable and the fabric is soft. It gives a nice shape. It is now too small, I think I probably need one or two cup sizes larger. Even though it now gives me a bit of quadraboob, it's not //too// visible even under tight clothing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The band is very stretchy, maybe size down in the band? It's not the prettiest bra but it's a good shape for my boobs.
This bra doesn't photograph well - it reads too pink. It is actually a bright, saturated cherry red.
It is hot as hell which may explain why I bought it in a size I know won't fit me. Wishful thinking etc...
It is boned with six flexible bones and has has a sort of a not boned but stiffened center gore area.
The cup shape is based on the push up/plunge. It reminds me of Rita a lot.
Comes with removable small pads and a halterneck extender - as with many other Change models this bra can be converted to halterneck or cross-back.
As you can see from the difference in wing and center gore measurements it is quite plunging. That also skews the underwire width a touch wider. I don't want to say the cups are narrow but they aren't quite as wide as the measurements seem to say.
I have the "padded low" cut of this bra. Even though the cups are very deep compared to my other bras (7.0 inches when I usually take 5.5-6.0!), it seems to fit my full on bottom boobs better since it is so low cut - there is no fabric to gap on top. I guess I'm still figuring out what shape works for me.
There are pockets in the cups to put padding or cookies. It doesn't come with any though. The pocket itself isn't attached to the middle of the cup (attached only at the underwire), so I cut it out since it was itchy and there's no room in the cup for me to fit any cookies. The straps are fully adjustable. The lace at the top of the cup shows through tight tops.
The straps are too wide-set, so I am going to move the straps in a bit before wearing it. The band probably runs a bit tight since I don't need to wear this on the tightest hook yet.
I bought this bra in night blue and cookie colours (yay for sales). Although the fit isn't perfect, it's good enough to wear until I find the perfect fit.
As usual with Change, the cups are shallow. There's a lot of push up padding in this bra - about 0.8 inches thick. The straps are only partially adjustable, but it is convertible to racerback.
The wires are slightly too wide for me. The center gore slightly digs into my sternum, but it also pinches (my breasts are pushing the cups closer together). Also, it might be because of the push up padding, but the underwires sit about 0.5 inches below my breast at the lowest point of the underwires. I would not recommend this if you are full on bottom like me.
I have to wear this on the tightest hook (I measure to be 26D/DD). Once it stretches out it will probably start gaping at the top of the cups.
Compared to the night blue colour I bought, the cookie colour (more like ivory?) has slightly shallower cups (6.8 vs 6.9 inches) and a slightly shorter wing (2.9 vs 3.1 inches). I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing inconsistency or if it is related to the model colour. It also stretches more than the night blue version (probably due to the dark blue dye stiffening the bra).
This bra doesn't have a name. I can't find it on Change's website either. On my receipt, it says "champagne seamless padded". It's lightly lined and the band and cup both run small, which is good for me since I am between B/C cup sizes. It fits well for my flat, shallow breasts and I don't get any gaping. For the first few times I wore it, the center gore dug into my sternum painfully (I'm pretty much skin and bones), but it's comfortable after stretching. This is my first bra outside of the bra matrix and I'm still trying to find smaller band bras. My ideal size is 26D/26DD.
Update: after getting some new bras in my new size, it seems this is the only bra that fits that has pokey underwires. I guess the wires are thick, stiff, and poorly cushioned. Also after breaking it in, I've realized the underwires are probably too wide for me since they dig into my ribs on my sides. The bottom of the cup is too shallow as well.
It's too dark to be a skin tone bra for me. I like the soft inner material and the subtle striped pattern. It's stupidly comfy.
The elasticated top edge is a nice touch, not too tight, will accommodate slight size fluctuations.
The bra has a tiny bit of stretch to it, more in the unlined top section, very little in the lined bottom section.
Unlike most Change Lingerie's full shaper bras this actually does have enough projection for my breasts near the underwire. Will work even for above average projection, but not a lot.
Too wide, sadly.
I'd love to have this in 70I but my local store of course didn't have that size.
This is one of Change's typical padded "halfcups" but in reality is probably more of a 3/4 cup than anything. It does accommodate my immediate projection, and the side profile is a taller, more minimized boob than my Freya Deco Hatty Moulded Plunge Bra (1281). The wires are a bit wide for me but it's not something I really notice as it's incredibly comfortable. The material is so soft under the skin and I really love how it's a very different shape from the multitude of Cleos and Freyas that I have.
Eveline captured my heart with her stunning red embroidery and silver detailing - she's definitely a looker!
This bra is definitely too small for me. It was one of the first better fitting bras I got a few months ago and I think I've had some growth/tissue migration of about a half a cup size since then. It's a plunge bra which is nice because I don't like high gores. In the correct size it really pulls breast tissue to the centre, but with a more minimized profile than something like the Deco.
The band is Freya stretchy, and measuring at less than 30" around my ribcage it is ...no longer supportive for me. Those who are true 32s will likely not have an issue with this bra.
The wires are slightly wide, I'd say comparable to my Deco in 30G when worn. The cup does run a bit shallow so I'd say someone who is a UK sized 32F or smaller 32FF will like this. I think I'm on the larger end of a 30G/small 30GG presently and I do get some quadboob action. I think it's a better style for people who are fuller on top or even but someone fuller on bottom will likely be able to get away with a larger size. Read more 107 more words
First: 65I is the US size, I guess, because it's definitely a UK 30G So subtly sexy! I love the buttons. I thought in the middle was a big bow, but it’s a tuxedo-type flap. This is adorable. My boobs don’t fall out of the middle, either! It feels almost… flimsy? But not in a bad way. Like, I don't think it'll fall apart or anything, but it doesn’t feel industrial like some do. I could definitely see this becoming an “everyday” bra. It’s a touch too shallow for me, but not enough that it affects the fit too much. I don’t think it’s a super shallow bra, I’m starting to think I just need bras with a crazy lot of immediate projection. If any other issues become apparent, I’ll update!
This is Change Lingerie's answer to minimizers - full shapers. They doen't really push your breasts to the side, they lift and elongate the breast upwards and also push some tissue towards the center.
It's a white unpadded bra with three layers of fabric - mesh inner, an opaque stretchy synthetic material inbetween and a patterned mesh upper. There's simple geometric lace detailing along the elasticated top edge. Straps have small scalloped edges.
I have high-set breasts so a lot of people won't have this problem but the straps definitely don't adjust short enough for me. I had them shortened by a tailor a tiny bit. The work done ...doesn't show.
This bra is majorly shallow towards the bottom (I think that's part of how it works) and will move downwards during the day so expect to have to adjust it if you have at least average bottom projection.
Change Lingerie tends to vary the cut of the bra a little bit when they change the color. The blue version of this bra is updated with a vertical seam towards the bottom - my bras have a two part cup, the blue version has a three part cup allowing more bottom projection. The full shaper variants with an almost vertical extra seam tend to fit projection a lot better. Read more 108 more words
The bra is a really appealing light yellow shade, doesn't have greenish/lemony undertones or orange/egg yolk undertones.
It is somewhat small in the cups for me. It is also slightly too wide.
Stretchy two part cups, top section is slightly more stretchy.
Change's full shapers are really good minimizers, instead of pushing breast tissue to the sides they pull everything in and up - they sort of shallowify breasts. I think they achieve this by using a plunge cut (extremely diagonal seaming with a large bottom part and a small upper part) with a full cup shape.
The straps are fully adjustable.
This model is more projected than some other of their full shapers (like the Sofias I also have).

I thought it wouldn't bother me that the cup is too wide but it does. Meh. I got it in a size up because the 70H is slightly small in the cups. It would be a staple if it wasn't as wide but as it is I have only worn it for a couple of hours.
Unlike the 70H I also have in this model the bottom part of the cup has two sections and is reinforced with a soft lining material. This makes the cups a slightly less stretchy. The top ...section is still very stretchy and has an elasticated top edge making it great for a variety of breast shapes.

This bra is very comfortable due to its super elastic and soft fabric (bands, cups and straps). The shape of it is a little weird because it is very wide. the underwire even pokes me at my underarm. I bought it because it was very cheap... it makes a great breast shape and the seams are not very visible under a t-shirt.
It would better fot women with wide set breast, or that are bigger on the bottom, wich is not my case.
This is such a pretty bra, with a beautiful roses-and-leaves lace overlay on the cups and lace on the straps. I wish it fit! I included a 30A in my recent Change order just to confirm I don't wear that size -- and I don't, at least not in this style. The cup volume is very close to right, but the wires aren't wide enough, and the half-adjustable straps aren't quite short enough when adjusted as short as they go.
(Bra identification note: this Camille Balconet in cherry blossom, a muted dark pink, is labeled as Chic by Change.)
I finally ordered some Change bras in an attempt to fit my wiiide, shallow, small breasts. This one is as wide and shallow as expected, maybe even a bit too wide, and unfortunately a bit too big in the cup for me on all but a few days of the month. The cups have pockets for adding padding, which I will try. The cups are also significantly lower-cut than my other 30B Change bra -- sexy!
The straps can convert to racerback or halter, but they are only half-adjustable and I already have them adjusted as short as they will go, so it looks like I'll have to sew them shorter. The band is also quite stretchy (to 33") so I may sew that too.
It looks like Camille is a best-seller for Change, so I'm looking forward to trying this bra in 28B soon.
First, note that the identification of this model of bra is a bit of a mystery to me. I bought it from an online boutique as the "Justine Lacy Padded Bra" but what I received doesn't quite match the picture on their site. The Justine line isn't currently listed on the Change website at all; the item number above is all that appears on the bra's hangtag from Change.
That said, this is my best-fitting bra! I had tried just about every bra reputed to be good for shallow breasts, and none were ever wide and shallow enough -- until I got my hands on some ...Change bras.
This model is quite pretty. It's a basic white balconet bra, with 1/8" thick foam cups sewn with 1 vertical seam, overlaid with white lace and lilac trim. The fully-adjustable straps are especially nice, made out of a wavy/lacy-edged elastic, and the bra is trimmed with three white-and-lilac bows.
The cups are super wide and shallow -- in fact, they are a hair too wide for me, but that is okay. They provide nice uplift, and the high gore is comfortable against my sternum after I bent the wires away a bit.
Unfortunately, the band is quite stretchy (to 35") so I will probably have to alter it down. I think a 28C would fit me nearly perfectly in this model, if I ever find it again. Read more 130 more words
The only gripe I have with this bra is that the gore is pretty high up. So, if you have narrow boobs, the gore won't sit flat against your chest. It's too "wide" and high up.
