I am traditionally a 30D/30DD. DKNY bras seem to run very shallow in generally, so the cup fitting flush on this 32DD was not too much of a surprise, but I am still a little mystified at how amazingly body hugging it is. I don't even feel the extra half inch the outer edge of the wire goes beyond my breast. It may as well not exist, and I feel held in very well despite the cups being too wide. The band is a true 32, so it is a little big for me, but it doesn't ride up much and I got the ...bra for $7 when I desperately needed to get out of the bra I had on, so I have no complaints there. This is a rare case of a plunge bra not cutting into my upper tissue, and I love that while it is molded, it is very thin and not padded, so it behaves more like a second skin. The straps are soft and wide, the tiny ruffle on the bottom of the band is ridiculous but not scratchy.
tl;dr version: All in all I would rate this as either a very wide 32D or a very very shallow 32DD in terms of fit. Read more 105 more words
This fits me best out of any I have tried so far, and admittedly there are not a lot for me as I only recently dialed in my size. My only gripes (aside from it being discontinued) is that it can leave me feeling a bit flat/boring sometimes. I think I could benefit from a little more side support to aid in perkiness, but otherwise very comfortable, smooth and very durable
My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle
This review is for the Queen Violet/Plummage colorway.
I looooooove this bra. It is so so so cute, I am totally enamored with how cute it is. I wish there were more bright colors for me to get because I would (solid colors, like the turquoise "Plummage" color with maybe lime green or dark blue ruffles, or orange with pink ruffles. I do not like the floral print). The ruffles are the best!
It fits great, lifts nicely, gives a lovely shape, and doesn't dig in the center. The push-up padding is also well-done and ...cups the side of the breast instead of pushing up on the bottom, and the cup is still able to fully contain all my breast tissue.
There is literally nothing bad about this bra. It makes me want to go around shirtless because of how adorable it is. It is absolutely my favorite. I only wish the shorts had matching ruffles. Well done, DKNY.
6 month update: Still in love! The band is slowly stretching, which makes me sad, but I can take it in eventually, so whatever. Still want to show it to everyone. Love, love, love. Read more 96 more words
The lace feels nice but t the bra is stretchy overall so I think I would have to size down. The 32 band stretched to just over 34" easily from an unstretched 26". The cups are a tad too big and gap near the top. The side wire pokes into my armpit too and so does the side of the cup. Gore is also not flat. I think I will try a 30DD although maybe not since the straps feel too wide for me.
I'm mostly FOB and center-full, fairly close-set with indenting/deflation near tail of spence, and pretty narrow-rooted with some height and some projection.
[Disclaimer - I have only tried it on]
PROS: - Pretty - Extra fabric around edge of cups negates gapping a bit
CONS: - Rides into tail of spence - Lip of cups raises too much & extra fabric doesn't like to stay flat - A lot of gapping with movement
I feel like the edges of the cups would show if I wore a tight shirt. I think it's too shallow for me but might work for someone else.
I got this bra only because Emily Ratajkowski looked really good in the ad lol. My real size is 28F/FF (UK) but I got 32DD because it is the closest sister size available, and I wear it for aesthetic purposes only. The entire cup is made of stretch lace and nothing more, so it would be irritating to some, but it accommodates a variety of shapes (I think) and change of size because of its elasticity. It doesn't give a lot of support but my breasts are pretty self-supporting and they are not too big so it's okay. The gore is too high and wide for my closet set and centre full breasts so I altered it to overlap. Overall it's a great looking bra, but not too functional. I still love it though!
This bra is sooo padded! Where are your boobs even supposed to go??
Yet I've seen and tried a lot of trainwreck strapless bras and this one isn't the worst. The cup is open enough on top, even with all that padding. The cups are super wide but that's pretty normal. The band is pretty true to size.
So if you happen to need a super padded strapless bra, this isn't an awful option.
This is a very pretty bra and does amazing things for my cleavage, but it's pretty cheap. It's a push-up, and although it seems to actually fit (despite being about 2 cup sizes smaller than I normally wear), my boobs sometimes escape ever so slightly from it after a full day, particularly my larger boob. I can't wear it at all during that time of the month. Nice profile under clothes, but I have to be VERY careful with low-cut tops with this, unless I am trying to show the girls off! The straps dig in a bit after a long period of wear and the band feels a little too tight sometimes - both are pretty cheap, rougher material. I mainly save this for date night.
This bra has more padding than a La-Z-Boy recliner. No room for my boobs in these cups. Seriously, I think there is more padding than I have breast tissue. Of course, this bra is several sizes too small ( I didn't know better at the time!) and the only reason I'm holding onto it is because it is still my partner's favorite. Think doubling the size of your chest + epic cleavage. Don't wear it hoping for support, but it makes for an ok bedroom bra.
Very soft but I don't think the shape is right for my breasts... Band is too big, cups extend too far into my underarms on top. I have this problem with fuller coverage cups where the cup on my smaller breast buckles at the top under my arm when I lean over or sit down.
Band was somewhat loose. Cups also big, but this might have just been me wearing the wrong size. Comfortable, but take with a grain of salt because it didn't actually fit. Returning this.
This bra fit smaller on me than the DKNY Super Glam 458150. This for more like a D cup instead of a DD. The band was nice and tight, but not too tight.
This is the best luck I've had with a T-back bra despite the band being a little too loose (32 is unfortunately the smallest size in this model) and having to extend the straps as far as they would go. The bra feels a little cheap overall (it has a plastic closure which I suspect will not hold up well over time), but the cups fit reasonably well and are great for close-set breasts.
I've honestly never had a plastic front clasp fail on me, but if I did it looks like it wouldn't be too hard to replace it with metal. And yeah, me and my close-set breasts will take any port in a non-wires sitting on them storm.
I found this at Ross. I got lucky the band brand new measures 23". It's a really pretty mauve color. It cost $12.99. I don't know how long the band will stay 23". hopefully it won't stretch out too much. If it does I will definitely alter it because the cups are a good size and shape. I will 1st alter the center gore because I prefer cups to be closer and I prefer plunge bras.
Fits okay on tightest hook - really I should be a 30E but this 32DD works and is a nice bra for wearing under tight shirts. The straps dig in by my armpits since they're too wide but it is usually not uncomfortable unless I wear it all day and do a lot of slouching.
I'm typically a 30 band, but I frequently buy a 32 when it's the only option available or I find it really cheap. This was on sale for $14, so I was willing to forgive the less-than-ideal band, and I had a newborn baby, so I didn't have a lot of time to shop.
Unfortunately, the band quickly stretched out even more, so what was previously sort-of loose is now unwearable. The cups no longer fit me either, but that's a change in me, not the bra. They're molded, so they're not susceptible to much stretching out, but I was breastfeeding every 2-3 hours when I bought the bra and now I'm down to twice a day, so I've lost about half a cup size.
