I was psyched to try out the Tropical Garden. My boobs have little upper fullness so I was interested in the shorter cups on this bra.
The band is tight (I'm using an extender) and the cups are a tad small for the size - if I press the gore down to a firm tack, I get the smallest amount of quadding. In other 75F Comexim plunges, I have more room in the cup.
There are some great parts and some frustrating parts of my Tropical Garden bra. The appearance is awesome - I have some cleavage! And my boobs look perfectly packaged and perky! It's super cute. The gore ... is really narrow, and the cups are almost too narrow for me. The immediate depth is good for my pendulous boobs. The band stays in place and supports my girls all day long.
What isn't so great, though, is the fabric. The mesh band scratches my skin. There's also scratchy fabric on the seams inside the cups, and on the wings. The bra doesn't feel as secure as my Basic or Chevron plunges, and definitely not as comfortable or well-constructed as my Anna Pardal plunge. There is a construction issue with the edge of the mesh - it sort of pokes through where it's sewn onto the edge of the band, and the fabric is cut jagged. I can just barely see it, but I think it makes the band itchier.
Overall, I like this bra fine and will wear it regularly - it fits me way better than most non-Polish bras - but it's not as high quality or as comfortable as I hoped.
