i knew it was a risk to buy this, as there is really no info anywhere on the fit. but, t was on eBay for a reasonable price, brand new, so i gave it a go. it doesn't fit unfortunately https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> i donked up the name when i added this- it should have Padded Balconette in the title.

as looks go this is gorgeous! the material is silky and a pale pink that leans a little purple. the bow on the gore has little embellishments on one side, and there are embroidered leaves on the cups. the straps are half adjustable, and the ... cups have one vertical seam.

fit is where i run into issues. the band can be easily fastened on the last hook- i think i would take a 32 band here. the cups are too large in both width and depth-i can feel a little empty space at the sides, but mostly at the apex and the tops of the cups when im wearing it. it doesn't *look* too large at first, the top of the cup sits flat on my narrower,more projected L side and nearly flat on my shallower wider R side, but i can feel the space. i think the molded cups hide the size issue. you can see from the pictures of it laying flat that the single seam is very projected, my best guess is that this is too deep for me.

the straps dont feel too far apart on this, which is a blessing considering balcony bras have had my armpits crying out for mercy. oddly, the gore doesn't want to tack, it floats a bit. im wondering if the band being too loose is the cause? im not experienced in that area of fitting issue, ive always assumed a non-tacking gore was the result of too small cups. if i push it down, i dont get any quadboobing.

im still debating on keeping this or selling it- right now its at least wearable and doesn't have any fit issues that cause pain, but it definitely isn't a correct fit.
