    32FF

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra in a transfer from another bratabase user in December 2014, and then I safely stashed it away and promptly forgot where I put it! So here is the 6-months late, long-overdue review for the purple colorway:

    This is a cute bra, and I wish it worked for me. The cups are absolutely a no-go, and not just because they are probably 3 cup sizes too big (maybe 3.5 on my smaller breast). The top panel is set at that angle that always cuts me off across the top of my super-tall breast root, the same way all strapless bras, shapewear, and dresses do too. The ... wires slide down within 10 minutes to sit about 3/4" below the base of my boobs, and then the ends start to poke my sternum at the center gore. Plus, the band is just perfect on the tightest hook, so it wouldn't last long anyway.

    The underarms are the best part! The wires come up really high but aren't uncomfortable at all. They are wide enough and the curve under my arm is a shallow-enough angle for my breast root. I wish I could superimpose them onto some of my other bras that fit everywhere else!

    The matching bikini knickers are made of the same purple mesh. They are a size UK 12 and just slightly too big for my 39" (99 cm) hips.

    Fits my full on bottom boobs with an extender as new. Without an extender the gore digs quite significantly. Holy boobage though! I've never worn an unlined bra that made my breasts actually look fairly big. People on here say the shape is pointy but I actually think it looks pretty natural. Now just have to get used to not having the armor of huge padding protecting my boobs from accidental brushing.

    I think this bra is really beautiful. It's my first attempt at wearing a soft cup bra, and it's very comfortable. I don't know if I would consider it to be high quality, but it's sufficient. The shape is rather off for me, and I'm not entirely sure why yet (about to post a fitting help request!), but I so wish it weren't. Lovely -- if it fits well.

    This is my goldilocks bra (as people say in the menstrual cup world). The shape is pretty near perfect for me--even my nipples line up with the seams without me having to swoop and scoop every hour. I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The wires could be a bit wider and taller but it's not an issue.

    This has been the best fitting bra I've every owned. The cup are a little narrow because I have a super-wide root, but the center gore touches my chest! Quality is pretty solid. It has finally died, but after a year of being basically the only bra I wore. 100% worth it.

    Great bra, probably better for full on bottom or even breasts. The band is tight like most Cleos. Very comfortable for me, can wear all day with no issues.

    Feels a little tight, but that will probably go away after I wear it for a while. It fits really nicely, very similar to the Marcie bra. I love the deep purple color. It's my favorite!

    32E

    Didn't fit

    I was super excited for this bra.
    I figured since I had a Le Mystere 32E, this might work.
    Granted, that bra hardly works for me.
    The cup depth is good, but I have to wear the bra on the last hook to stay scooped and supported. Should expect that for a 32 I suppose, especially when I'm measuring 29".

    I'd really like to try this bra in 30E, 28F, or the sister sizes (30F,28FF) of this bra.
    This fits VERY nicely and looks great, but I'm concerned that won't last long.
    I initially tried this on and couldn't stay scooped, and the cups were thusly too large.

    I'm unsure if the band on ... this is stretched from previous wear, or if this model normally just has a larger band.
    If so, I'd like to look at 28F/FF.

    Anyway, this gives a really nice, rounded shape. Great for an unlined bra. I also love the design. And color. I dated someone who hated all things black (my wardrobe was all black) so I regrettably threw away all my black bras and everything else.
    Granted, they were 34B so I couldn't/wouldn't wear them now anyway. But I miss them regardless, and am super happy to have a nice, black bra again.

    I still need the 30E/F or smaller band wise, seeing as I need to use the last row of hooks, but this will do well for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    As far as I can tell, this should do well for narrow to average roots, some projection, and even shapes.
    I'm not sure for purely FoB or FoT people. I can see FoB having trouble with the fixed mesh shape, up top. I'm very shallow on top though, and fit into a cup size larger than my usual.
    Purely FoT may have trouble, again, with the fixed mesh shape.
    This bra is unlike any other I've tried, so I have a hard time giving any more advice as I'm just learning.
    My own shape should be FoT to even, but I'm really shallow only up top, projected in the middle, and fit better into bras that suit bottom fullness. Learning this has made making reviews super confusing for me to add any recommendations, so I apologize in advance.

    I also am unsure about the wires. For me, and for a 32E, these wires are narrower than many other 30F/32E's I've tried on, but they're very...straight? Kind of like a wide cereal bowl, as opposed to a Japanese tea cup, "U" shape.
    So, these wires are probably for average roots, and they may work for wide, but this bra somehow works for me even though I need narrower wires. I guess because they don't come up towards my armpits like most other wide wired bras- that may be why it works.

    The center gore is also not very wide. This would probably be good for boobs that need closer set wires. They don't touch, but they JUST don't touch. There's like a centimeter or two in between the wires where they don't touch.

    Otherwise, that's about all I have to say about this bra in this size.

    28D

    Didn't fit

    i wear a 28D and am moderately shallow, slightly conical, and slightly wide. i am average set and even.

    (because of my slightly conical shape and prominent nipples, i generally steer away from unlined bras. but lucy was available on prime, and i figured that trying an unlined bra for fun would tell me some things about my shape that a molded bra would hide.)

    well the bra is lovely and comfortable. i can see why people enjoy unlined bras. and the seams could hide my nipples too. the only problem... was that there were wrinkles everywhere. especially at the top, but at the bottom as well. i already knew that i was shallow and conical, so i didn't learn anything new. now i just have definite proof.

    Love this bra, which really suprised me as I was weary of non molded bras. I need a larger cup however, which is also a suprise to me! If anyone has a 28ff and/or 28G lmk!
