I tried a 75(FR)/ 34 FF (UK). My snug band measurement is 33" so I'm planning on trying 32" for most bras with an extender. It's one cup size too small. The underwire feels pretty tight and uncomfortable. But, the bra looks good and gives good support.
This used to be my absolute everyday go-to bra. I really don't care for the thick foam in most bras, and this spacer material is a great alternative. It doesn't fully prevent show through, but I don't really care when my nipples show. I really like the rounded silhouette it gives, and the straps are nicely set, not too wide like so many bras these days, so they don't dig in to my armpits. There's a bit of empty space at the bottom of the cup on me as there's not enough space there for my FOB/shallow breasts, but the cup fits relatively well ...because of the full coverage. I have this in a 30d as well, and depending on my weight/time of the month, I can wear both comfortably. However, as of the past month, the wires have really been digging into my ribs, especially in the 30dd. It may just be that I need to replace it, that it's worn out. But it seems like all wired bras are digging into me these days. I tried bending the wires a bit but it's still hurting my ribs. I'm a bit sad to have lost my go-to everyday bras, but hope that at some point the wires stop hurting me and I can go back to wearing them. Read more 123 more words
I find this to be an incredibly pretty bra. I love that it's sheer, and it looks delicate but does support. I need a 30dd in this, but I had the 32d band taken in and it works nicely. My very soft breast tissue does jiggle on top as it's a demi, and the straps do dig in slightly by my armpits, so I don't frequently wear this bra. Since it's a demi, it works well for my shallow breasts. The seams show under thinner clothes, but I like wearing this under sweaters. Despite the short comings of this bra, i do like it. I feel pretty sexy in it. My spouse enjoys it too https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
I have been looking for wirefree bras lately, and tried this one out. I really need a 30dd in this bra, but the 32c sort of works (on the tightest hooks). I have pretty soft/fleshy breast tissue and need more coverage to prevent quadboob/spillage out the center, and do need a cup size up. I like how lightweight it is, and that it's not a standard foam cup, which I can't stand. The spacer material is really nice, and doesn't crease even if I fold it. A lot of wirefree bras try to look like regular ones with very round channels under the ...cups, but invariably these crease at the bottom of the cup for me. This one has a more straight channel at the bottom, preventing this issue. The band doesn't fold up which is nice, and there's some lift and support despite the lack of wires. After a few hours of wearing this bra my breast tissue migrates towards the center, but not as badly as some other wirefree bras. I got it on sale for $28 so for the price I'm pretty happy with it. I like the wirefree wacoal full bloom bra more, but this one is nice and for people with firmer tissue will be even better. Read more 114 more words
This fits technically, maybe a tiny bit big in the cup but a smaller size would be too small I think. It is not comfortable though, I think the problem is with me. Digs in where the cup meets the strap (boobs not tall enough? I seem to having this problem a lot). Underwires are a bit too rigid for me, dig in especially at the gore. I feel like it would work if you have more boob volume/taller/rounder boobs and maybe more padding/fat. Such a shame because it is so nice!
I'm pretty much giving up on underwires and looking for half decent support wireless bras from now on.
I just got a Melinda g curvy small wireless bra. It probably would fit you depending on your rib age measurements. It's a nursing bra but it offers decent wireless support. The deco wireless might be one that would work for you too. I was searching for something more relaxed for sore days. Actually as far as wireless is concerned there are a lot more options
I'm pretty keen to try the Deco Wireless but it's expensive... I have considered buying maternity bras too, some just seem a bit bulky. I tried on an Intimo mastectomy bra and it was pretty comfy but not great looking, way more coverage than I need or want. On non-work days I've been wearing a Wacoal B'tempt'd bralette, nowhere near enough support but it's so comfy. Doesn't do anything for looks either, especially under clothes.
Received it in an exchange and now my friend's daughter is the new proud owner - it fits her like a glove. I haven't had the chance to measure it, but she will sent me the measurements. I am really happy with this one finding a new home.
This bra converts from a "regular" bra to a criss cross bra. It's a black bra and still very black - it's not washed out or faded. Super comfortable and very supportive.
Like the other bras I am posting on Bratabase, it has been sitting in my drawer for some time because I gained weight and it no longer fits me. I was waiting for the time it would fit again but alas, that has not happened. Would love for it to find a new home. This bra has been very well cared for and has only been hand washed with gentle, bra-friendly detergent. There are no pulls, the straps don't have those worn bits from the adjusters and the band still has plenty of stretch. It comes from a non-smoking, no pet home so allergies wouldn't be a problem.
I don't generally like red, or decorated bras, but I actually thought this was quite beautiful. It was unique and I liked how horizontal the cups were (as I seem to need that and it is far less common than a deep V shape). My significant other immediately noticed the placement of the starburst like pattern and commented on it being oddly placed, making boobs look cross-eyed. This seemed like a well made product and was comfortable on me. With a smaller band, I think it would have actually fit, but this was the smallest they had in store. The underside of the straps had a really soft, ...felt-like material that was really nice on my skin. The straps are extremely wide-set (although, again, this may not have been a problem if the band had fit), which is something I don't usually have an issue with. It supported my wide-set, short-rooted, soft, deflated boobs....although it didn't give me a very flattering shape. I would have loved to try it in a 30D, but never would have spent $105 on a bra anyway. Read more 75 more words
Although this convertible bra claims to be a 30D, it fit wildly differently from every other I've tried on in that size. The cups were HUGE. They're very rounded, thinly padded, and unforgiving of any shape that doesn't match. I have soft, deflated, wide-set, short-roots and this was a major mismatch. Usually I easily fill the bottom of any cup, but I had wrinkling in bottom and beyond gapping in the tops. The material actually folded in and crumpled along the top. Only tried on in the store, but documenting here so I can keep track.
Just picked this up, but it's SUPER sexy, and I'll try to add more of a review once I've worn it a few times! I did notice that the top of the cup is gaping a touch, on both my breasts, even though one of mine is about a cup sized bigger than the other. This didn't go away, even after tightening the straps a fair amount, but it did get a bit less obvious after tightening the straps!
Also picked up the shorty and high waisted brief, as they were on sale as well and I didn't want to miss out! They are both also quite sexy ...-- I got 2X in both, even though I often wear a 1X, as that was the only size that they had left at Forever Yours Lingerie. The shorty is awesome - lots of undies this style do not have enough coverage width in the front to go over my belly, but these ones do! On the high waisted briefs, the elastic on the very top doesn't seem to be super sturdy - it seems to be marking a bit just from being folded up in tissue paper from the shop! Read more 92 more words
Great support and a nice, rounded shape. Excellent for east-west breasts and if you have lots of tissue under your arms. Higher gore than I would like- doesn't tack well for me.

This bra is super shallow! Maybe the shallowest bra I have ever tried, more than the Natori Feathers. I am shallow-ish, so this bra is a little too shallow for me. The middle edge of the bra kind of juts out from my boobs as my boobs try to push forward. I do love the way it looks and the color and extremely low and comfortable gore though.
*THIS BRA HAS BEEN ALTERED TO A 32" TOTAL BAND STRETCH* using two 4.5" long pieces of 0.5" width ribbon, sewn close to the hooks on each end of the band while the bra was unstretched (please see the photographs). The review for the original, unaltered bra can be found at http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlqss/
A very plain, pinkish bra with wonderfully soft memory foam cups and a very, very soft band. The bows where the two-part straps meet the cup are almost girlishly cute, but not overstated and not enough to show through my clothing. The band is 2x3 hooks in a 70F. I have a little trouble filling ...the tops of the cups as I lose more weight, even though the top of the cup meets my skin, making me believe this may be more suited towards an even or full-on-top shape.
The band being altered closer to my ribcage measurement has only changed the resting band measurement from 28" to 27", perhaps due to my altering the unstretched band. The wires on this are somewhat flexible, with perhaps a 1" stretch on each underwire if I stretch it to its absolute maximum of 34.5", but far less than some of the bras I've owned (80F - Ewa Michalak ยป S Szafirek (498)). The underwires return to shape immediately after tension is released. Read more 116 more words

A very plain, pinkish bra with wonderfully soft memory foam cups and a very, very soft and stretchy (36" unaltered) band. The bows where the two-part straps meet the cup are almost girlishly cute, but not overstated and not enough to show through my clothing. The band is 2x3 hooks in a 70F. I have a little trouble filling the tops of the cups as I lose more weight, even though the top of the cup meets my skin, making me believe this may be more suited towards an even or full-on-top shape.
The underwires on this did not warp until well after its original stretch of 36".
An old friend. Dependable secure fit. Pretty even though a little plain. A shiny stretchy material that conforms to both breasts. The full coverage center pull style may not be sexy or fashionable, but IT FITS! Pretty lace on the gore and straps.
This bra is very cute and I love the way it looks but unfortunately for me it doesn't fit me well in the cups. It's a really well made bra, it's just that the cups do not fit my boobs with a lot of loose material on the sides. Also the cups aren't quite "full" enough for my liking. Other than that, it's a cool bra.
I used to wear a smaller size of this bra and it was my favorite. But now that I'm a much larger size, it fits all wrong. I was trying to see if I could sister size the bra from 38G/GG UK/US 38I and it did not work at all. I noticed that there is a lot of extra fabric between the wing and side boning on this bra compared to my old 40DDD bra. The old bra was roughly 2 inches long from wing to side boning (at the bottom). Now it is 3 inches. The cups are much higher and the wire is really long (15 ...inches), which means the bra wire cuts into my arm. I do remember having to break in my old bra when I first got sized as 40DDD as it also poked a little until I broke it in, but I really don't like the changes made to the larger size of this bra. I'm considering modifying it rather than throwing it out.
It might not be the bra's fault since this is technically not my true size, but the wire seems extra long even factoring in the size difference, so I'll mention that in case others also have issues with the underwire poking their arm. Read more 105 more words
