Given my measurements, I've been told to get 30C. I tried on 30C and 32B in the same model and 30C felt too tight and 32B felt great, but I do have to wear it on the snuggest band setting. Feels light and holds all my side breast tissue in place. Looks good with or without a shirt. Top of cup is starting to roll out a tiny, tiny bit. Hopefully won't get worse over time, we shall see.
I ordered this online from Nordstrom Rack because I wanted to try a spacer bra for the extremely hot summer weather here in Texas. This is my first experience with DKNY bras, and the 32B was the closest size available although this is obviously not my size (28DD = 30D = 32C).
As expected, this bra definitely didn't fit me. The band was quite big, and definitely rode up. The cups were just an odd fit. I can't say they were exactly too small, but something about them seemed really off, and they looked strange on me. I also couldn't tell if these used spacer foam as they felt exactly the same as regular foam cups.
Can anyone verify if these are truly spacer foam cups?
Usually spacer foam is more forgiving in fit than a molded “regular foam” bra from what I read. They are a bit more expensive as well. One way to tell is if you hold up the cups in the light you can see little “holes” (like in a finely knitted fabric) which is one of the reason that makes them very breathable and lightweight. They also dry very fast which is nice. I’m not familiar with this bra to know if it’s spacer foam or not.
Ahh, thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely look out for the holes in the light next time. I expected the fabric to be softer and more flexible than regular foam, but this was exactly the same. I don’t think spacer cups are as common in smaller bra sizes so this was the only one I came across that seemed it might remotely fit, so I wanted it to work out!
Apart from being the incorrect size for me, the only problems I have seen with this bra is the elastic stretching out way too fast. I've had this problem with most of my DKNY bras.
