I've been curious about Amazon's bra selection lately, and decided to try out a few bras from brands that carry 30 and 32 bands. I ordered two bras from Deyllo, which is a brand that starts at a 32 band, and ordered 32D in both styles (the other one is the Sheer Unlined Plunge). While the quality of the bras was better than expected, the fit was dreadfully inconsistent.
The first issue with this bra is that the band is absolutely massive and not TTS at all. It measures 26.8" on the flat, and so does my ribcage, so it didn't matter which hook I tried, ... the band was definitely too big. I used to wear 32B-C bras and the bands would ride up but be workable, and they typically measure around 24.5" on the flat. Thus, this band fits like a 34.
The second problem is that the straps are not fully adjustable, and even when fully shortened, they were far too long. The cups were hanging off my body, and I couldn't really tell if the cups would fit or not. I tried to hold the cups against my body by grabbing the excess from the straps and band, and I think they might fit, or they might fit a little large. After taking measurements and comparing to the other Deyllo 32D I ordered (which is too small for me, I will reorder 32DD), I am pretty sure this bra fits like a 34D, potentially 34DD.
The pleasant surprise though was that the materials were better than expected. The cups are a soft stretch lace lined with soft tricot in the bottom panel and side panel for extra stability. The wings are made from a rather firm silky jersey with mesh backing. The front of the straps have a nice textured detail, although it would've been better if this elastic had been used for the entire strap and made fully adjustable. The hooks have 4 positions for adjustment and there's a slight leotard U back. The center gore has a little lace up detail that adds a little extra.
A decent bra, especially for the price, but recommend to order down a band and potentially down a cup. Anyone who is a true 32 or below will be out of luck with this one.
