~70J/32G ~65K/30GG, projected, bottom and center full, tall roots, avarage root width, soft tissue ----- I'm not a big fan of the design now that I've actually seen them in real life, and also the color looks quite different to the pictures online on this one. This is probably the most puke-colored bra I've ever seen, and the straps are rediculously massiv with applications on them that are also really effing massiv. The cups give me cone and table-boob and cut in on the top. I guess they're a bit too projected and closed off for me.
Such a bummer! Sorry for the bad experience. Are they returnable at least?
Yep, returns always work very well and quick where I ordered, fortunatly :)
That's great! You were able to give it a try but not stuck with a horrible bra as a result. It's a win experience then. Yay! And we thank you for the added data and experience you shared for the database . Thank you!
Empreinte definitely has a distinctive and very consistent cup shape and grading approach, at least in their unlined/unpadded designs, and if a wearer's proportions diverge too much from what their designers assume, or if the cup is not a size that works, it will be a major fit fail. I'm glad you can return these! I am just curious about the prices offered by German retailers though (since I see that's where you are based). Do they sell Empreinte for very high prices? It's a French brand and although there are huuuuge export markups outside the EU, within France at least it's not a brand with luxury price points or a super premium luxury image--their image is more that of a good, solid quality specialty brand. A bit better than Chantelle (formerly they would have been equivalent but Chantelle has started cheaping out on materials horribly, unfortunately) but not nearly as fancy as Lise Charmel for instance, and probably even a bit below Aubade just in terms of how recherche the designs and embellishments are. The shape works well for me so I regularly buy Empreinte from discounters or during the sales, and I find at 30-40 Euros it is very good value since the bras are really durable. If you are reading user or blogger reviews from North American customers you may be given a misleading image of the brand because those people would have to pay an OBSCENE price point for Empreinte if they purchased in their country at full price. So I've seen people refer to Empreinte as if it was a very, very high end, almost couture product, which it is definitely not. Just a good solid member of the bourgeoisie, not bra royalty or anything ;-)
Nikki was originally 92€, Anna was 107€, on sale for 75€ + I have a bunch of 15% discount codes for the website I ordered on (Lace.de - for some reason they keep sending me these codes lol), so I was able to order both bras for ca. 140€.
I tried Chantelle before and I definitely prefer them when it comes to quality. I think the nicest feeling bras I ever tried were from Chantelle, Mark&Spencer, Sugar Shape (relatively new german brand), Katherine Hamilton and I think Fantasie, but most of them were really bad fits for me, the wires are simply too wide most of the time and the cups too projected and cut off at the top and the KH was a C-Grade bra from the outlet section. All of those brands, except for Katherine Hamilton, were more afordable and felt way nicer them Empreinte. The fabric on the Nikki bra was even a bit itchy, wich surprised me, a lot of reviews I read specifically said that the material is comfortable even if the bra has a lot of applications. My skin is really sensitive so this is a big issue for me. I know there are brands that are even more expensive but for 99% of the average population on this planet 100€ or $ or whatever is really really expensive for one bra, it's a price you pay if you want to splurge on a really really really good item, that fits perfectly and feels like great quality and Empreinte is not that kind of a brand for me, sadly. Anything over 50€ is actually too much for me atm, but not having even one single bra that fits and is comfortable is something that has such a negative impact on my everyday life that I basically just bit the bullet and hoped for the best. It all depends on the perspective, really.
Oh yes, if your skin is very sensitive some of Empreinte's materials will not be comfortable because their bras tend to be very embellished. Nikki in particular looks like it has a lot of texture going on. If you liked the brand's shape I could probably recommend some that were nice and smooth but as it's a bad match for your shape obviously it's not something you want to pursue. I agree Chantelle's newer materials are much softer to the touch--I miss their old ones because they were more robust but I think you would have hated them because they were not nearly so smooth! Perhaps that is why they changed them.
Are you small in height, or short-waisted, or with small shoulders/small build? Just asking because UK bras like Fantasie, Curvy Kate and so on are apt to have wider-spaced straps that will mess up the fit of the upper cup in more petite-framed wearers especially if they are in a higher cup range. French brands tend to have more centered straps even in youthful designs because French people are not as tall or well-built in frame as Nordic/British/Germanic bra-wearers--if I knew your fit needs I could recommend some well-priced options.
I am really sorry to hear it's been such a struggle finding bras that fit recently! I do not see any photos of you in a bra, but my impression of your shape based on your comments is that perhaps the fullest part of the breast is fairly tall, more than the average. Does that sound right? (If you've taken all the breast measurements, a sign of a "tall" yet full shape would be a vertical breast perimeter that is equal, or almost equal to the horizontal one. People with average breast proportions tend to have a vertical perimeter that is appreciably smaller than the horizontal one--for example when I was about a 32FF/30G I had a good 4-5cm difference-- so a lot of bras are proportioned that way as well. This means they will often cut in or fail to tack on someone whose boob shape is taller.)
If that sounds like it might be correct there are definitely options out there but you are absolutely correct in observing that many bras will lack the height and volume you need. FWIW, the now-inactive, but very prolific blogger BrasIHate has (or used to have, back then) a shape like this, although she dubbed it "full on top" (which only describes one aspect of her shape). Anyway, her old bra reviews might help to get visual impression of the constructions that work best for that shape.
I'm actually half colombian and definitaly build more southamerican then germanic, I'm 165cm and have a pretty short upper body. I do have rather broad shoulders but the straps on Nikki were too far apart, I felt them cutting in somewhere right between my breast and shoulder joint. It can be difficult to figure out your shape but judging from what I've tried and from the guide on the ABTF reddit my last guess was that I'm narrow and projected with tall roots? I think my root goes up to my collarbone even if it dosen't look like it when I'm not wearing a bra, I can push my tissue up all the way to the collarbone. I also figured out that narrow U-shaped wires fit me the best. Shallow bras are always a total fail but bras like this one that are to short in hight and too closed off are almost as bad.
I thought about trying the panache basics (Andorra, Envy, Jasmin, Tango ?) that are constantly recommended for figuring out your shape but that might be a waste off time after all. I tried so much but some bras are just hard to get my hands on, I literally found only one german website that offers a lot of panache bras and they don't have the sizes I need half the time. From what I remember most british bras were not tall and narrow enough for me, like the cup would be one size too small but the wire already too wide so I don't even need to bother trying a size up, it's always something like that. Or there's not enough immediate projection, a lot of bras lack space in either the top or the bottom of the cup, it's like my boobs always try to find a way out haha Oh nooo BrasIHate seems really interesting, too bad she's inactive :/ I posted a photo in my Mimi Holliday review, the Coco Loco was too small in the cup sadly but the shape wasn't bad, Coco Loco and Cleo Piper are my best fits at the moment but both are way too small in the cup
juliaae ok I took a look at the Coco Loco photo. Yes! I think your description of your shape is exactly right, actually. Narrow, projected and very tall.
I am not sure if you have the exact same "type" of tall shape that is most common. A lot of people will say mention have tall roots and it's true, they do, but in most cases they are talking about a moderate-thickness, nicely tapering amount of tissue that really just makes a straight line from the apex of the breast up to the collarbone. People like that can have boobs of all sizes and other dimensions, but with that shape (tall and very tapered upper boob) they will tend to need bras that also have an upper cup which has a sort of flat upper portion, and which matches the slope of their own tapered upper boob-line. So for these people, the famous Panaches like the Tango (harder to fit) or the Jasmine (a bit more forgiving) work really well in the right size, usually, if the wire width doesn't bother them. They will struggle with cups that curve up and around and then come in abruptly to contain a rounder upper boob (these are often described as "closed on top" like the Cleo Lily for instance).
Since your photo is from the front, I can't tell if your shape is mostly like that, or if you have a more rounded-and-tall shape, with a distinctly tall rounded and projected breast mass and no super straight tapering line. The rounded-and-tall shape is one of the variants of the shape often described as looking in profile like a letter b or d, with the round bit representing the main projected part of the boob. I am sure you've heard of it--people sometimes refer to it as "full on bottom" when in fact the upper breast can still be full but not tall meaning they fit petite height cups. Whereas if you also have this shape but have tall boobs, your shape is still roughly the same but with different vertical proportions: it's now a taller b or d, basically.
On people like BrasIHate the fit issue is that this rounded, full upper portion of the breast is already taller than average, plus it doesn't end super abruptly. On her it tapers slightly to the collarbone I believe, whereas on other people there is more really noticeable boob thickness going all the way up, but either way, all the upper boob business from nipple on up remains quite fleshy and curvy, not a real straight line. Sometimes bra seams will sit weirdly on these "tall but rounded all over" people, as if the apex of their breast was undefined--in fact, their natural breast apex might be defined, it depends, but either way, it just gets smushed higher in the cup, because that natural breast apex is so much higher up than the bra's apex. There can even be an odd wrinkly or unfilled area in the middle or lower-middle part of the cup, because the apex of the breast can't really settle at the lower point where the designer expected it to be on a cup of a given depth... andalso the whole breast tends to overflow at the top due to insufficient cup height and/or insufficient depth and curve in the upper portion. The Panaches with that straight tapered upper cup (Tango!) tend to be impossible for these people to wear but sometimes the Envy or Andorra are ok. Very occasionally a Jasmine. But overall, any bra that is super open on top or has better-than-average cup height while keeping generous depth (compared to the width of the bra) and a rounded structure will tend to work. Cleo Marcie often works if the projection-to-height ratio is compatible, and if the person's shoulders are not too narrow.
Further variant: lot of the "letter b" people instead have this projected mass and then there is not a meaningful amount of tissue above it, there's no tapering. I am like this for example, you can see some of my photos in my bra reviews--you'll see I have a really short torso as well, but since my boobs just "end" abruptly without tapering, and since they are not especially tall, my main challenge is just to fit the center fullness. In contrast, someone with taller boobs will often not fit the same bras as me. They can wear a closed-in upper cup but the design of the cup has to match their overall breast height, their apex height, AND it has to be able to adapt to their round and curvy upper breast shape.
Anyway all that is very long-winded--as the saying goes, "sorry, I did not have time to write something shorter" (i.e. concise and well-written). Maybe it will give you some clues about the dimensions of a cup that would fit you better--you can search by measurements throughout the Bratabase entries and see if anything looks promising.
I'm kind of impressed, where the hell do you learn all of these things :D "...it just gets smushed higher in the cup, because that natural breast apex is so much higher up than the bra's apex. There can even be an odd wrinkly or unfilled area in the middle or lower-middle part of the cup, because the apex of the breast can't really settle at the lower point where the designer expected it to be on a cup of a given depth." That sounds familliar. I'm quite similar to brasihate from the side I think, in a bra everything gets shoved up and I'm ofter very curvy on top and more tappered and fob without a bra. If I ever find THAT bra I won't ever let go of it again and buy every single shade available but for now I just gotta keep searching haha
Aww thank you... get older and older and older and eventually, if you've sustained a bra obsession, you too will pick up all this stuff! I've had many years and many bra-fitting SOS calls/messages from friends to help me learn.
There are definitely "tall" bras out there--it will just be a matter of finding them. Judging from BrasIHate's reviews, it seems that back in 2011-2015 she tended to get a decent fit in Bravissimo's own brand and also in Cleo Marcie, so those could be a place to start.
If you don't mind nonwired bras, I think that may make things a bit easier because you won't have to worry about wire width, only the height of the overall cup structure.
Finally, in general, if you are good with google and keyword searches, some clever search strings to look for reviews where people complained about the fit problems experienced by someone with average height boobs in a cup that is TOO tall for them, will often help you find those taller-than average designs. Try "gaping on top" "gaping near straps" "cup too tall" "cannot fill top" etc.
Oh, this bra is gorgeous. Just crazy gorgeous. I usually don't go for lace but this lace seems really high-quality and it isn't scratchy at all. It's excellent as a t-shirt bra. Really? A non-molded t-shirt bra? Really.
The band is sooooooo stretchy. I guess this is what a leotard back is. It took some getting used to; at first I thought I could only wear it on the tighest hook but eventually I realized that it's designed to have some give to it so it is perfectly fine on the loosest hook.
The straps are gigantic and padded. This means the adjustable area of the strap is only ...a few inches instead of the entire length of the strap. Also pretty much impossible to wear under tank tops, which isn't a dealbreaker for me, but something to think about.
The cups seem to run slightly large, which is fine because I am often between a a 30G and a 30GG anyway. The material is verrrrrry forgiving and any gaping or wrinkling really doesn't show under clothes. This bra looks great under clothing (I keep checking myself out) and, well, without clothing too. It's lovely. It does show nippage very plainly though, so I can only wear it under multiple layers or when I know I will be particularly warm.
My only real problem is that the straps cut into the fronts of my arms. A lot of bras do this for me. I may have to do something about this one. There's no stretch to the straps or where the straps meet the cups.
The other weird thing is the slightly minimized appearance I get in this bra. Nothing to complain about, but it's weird to see my usually-quite-prominent boobs look a little muted.
~70J/32G ~65K/30GG, projected, bottom and center full, tall roots, avarage root width, soft tissue ----- I had high hopes for Nikki, but I'm sort of conflicted. I actually do really like the style of the fabric, the applications and I love how much of a shallowish round shape it gives, but then on the other hand, It's just too much. The straps for example are absolutely massive on both models I ordered (Nikki and Anna). They're so freakin wide and thick, I can only imagine how wired these bras would look unter a simple top in summer. I also get that a lot of people are looking for wide straps, ...but for me personally, it just dosen't make me feel good. The moment I looked into the mirror while trying this it reminded me of how limited my options are because of my unusual size and how I can't be picky about such things even if they bother me. If it would have fit otherwise I would keep it but sadly the gore dosen't tack and the cups are overall to small (And probably too shallow). I thought to myself "give it a shot, wear it for a day", but as soon as I put my shirt back on and started moving normally I felt so uncomfortable. I think the fact that the band runs large in this brand, combined with how badly the cups fit makes this a really uncomfortable "unstable" fit. Read more 133 more words
Sorry the fit was less than ideal. Unfortunately high price does not always equal a quality product. Hopefully you will find a well fitting bra that you enjoy soon.
Hm 75cm stretched is about right for a 30 band (at least my EM 30s). Does it stretch more than that?
I guess I could stretch it more then that but I'm gonna return it and don't want to stretch it out or something, I compared it to the Mimi Holliday bra in 30GG I recently got and it was quite a bit tighter. However, the band isn't the biggest problem, the cut just isn't quite right for me. And I think the gore beeing so high in the middle might be a problem, these types of bras always seem to be a bad fit for me :/
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Wires seem overly eager to distort. They measure 14.5cm but they fit more like 15.5 or 16 -even with a full extender added. I don't need the extender to fasten the band, but this band is different material than my other Empreintes. Instead of the shiny, elastic synthetic band, this has a layer of lace on top. ...Possibly this shortens the stretch?
Otherwise, side boning, three hooks, thick straps, very narrow and tall centre gore, lots of room for my centre fullness, straps are set narrow enough and are ribbed for no-slip.
Ivory white fabric and details. Faint peach embroidery lining the white embroidery (see photo). Beautiful! Single lay of no-stretch mesh on whole cup. Funny ruffled lace on the inside of the front of the strap. Definitely impedes strap shortening, especially as strap is line with foam for the length of the lace.
The only odd thing is the shape. It is slightly pointed (green shape) and very front and centre and would be perfect, except I get an odd flattening on the outside plain directly beneath the strap attachment. This prompts a bulge on the side just instide the wire. I have put in a photo from underneath as it seems the best way to capture it. I also took an identical photo with me holding a dart in the elastic between the strap and the outside of the underwire. It seems to fix the problem. I think this is what the correct shape would look like if the wires were actually narrow enough for me. I will experiment with a dart there and other things. I think it is because of my relative centre fullness. the shape from the top is also fixed if I push my tissue in from the bottom centre and it compensates by pushing out the flat part in the cup. Another soft tissue issue. sigh. This is the same alteration I am using on my Comexim half cups with the straps moved in. I might be better with a sister size up in the band and replacing the wires with narrower firmer ones - but that is not an experiment I want to try with a brand new, and expensive, bra.
Edit:
So, I fixed the shape problem! In doing so, I moved the straps wider and made it murder on my armpits 🙁. I tried what I call a "full alteration" first which totally corrected the shape issue - too much room in the side of the cup that my centre full soft tissue does not fill thus not enough width tension and the strap pulls flat from the outside of my nipple to the strap attachment. This brough the straps a great deal wider and they dug into my armpits (see photos labelled full alteraton). So I took it out and did what I have called a "half alteraton" instead. This seems to the be widest I can pull the straps and still be wearable and yet so the alteration for shape correction. It is more like a 2/3 or 3/4 alteration, but "half" is an easier label. So, I can either have comfortable strap placement and flattened weird shape, or a nicer shape with slightly uncomfortable straps. I am going to try with my Ornella too as it has similar issues, but not on the same scale.
I took out 3 cm in the end so the new cup depth is 28.5 cm - wow these really are huge cups!
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Empreinte for cheap! (ie. under 100 CAD - which means I get the styles and colours that happen to come up)
Oddly, it fits my larger side perfectly, but I need to put both my full cup cookies in my smaller side and I still get gaping at the top! I guess the projection at the appex and inner fullness just ...can't be compensated for by push-up or appex cookies. *Edit: This is because of the shape issue I noticed after I got my Jasmine.*
Good immediate projection, unfortunately, narrow wires are softer and distort a bit to feel a touch wide. *Edit: I used an extender and it solved this problem.* Shape is French and pointier, but really, really round for a French maker.
Standard Empreinte band - feels and measures looser than it actually functions. Excellently broad straps and three hooks, side boning, and super narrow tall centre gore. Plus, very narrow set straps.
For those unfamiliar with Empreinte sizing, they use three cm increments so their 30F has an average cup depth of 26cm and 30G averages 29cm - which equates roughly to 30:10 in UK and US brands (2.5 cm increments) and 65:11/12 in Polish brands (2 cm increments - 11 unlined, 12 padded). In my experience anyway.
Edit: I put a dart in the outside of the cup just inside the wire to correct the shape issue I understood when I tried my Jasmine which has a more extreme case of the same issue. I have tried twice now, making the dart smaller, and the straps are only just wearably wide now. I might take it all out and try again because they are still a bit too wide, but I wonder if a smaller dart would even make the shape correction.
I have taken out about two cm so new depth measurement is 29.4 cm. I may try once more to make it a little smaller. Read more 275 more words
I cannot believe how comfortable this bra is. This is the “low-neck” or “corbeille” version of the Ashley. I am 32FF in s British bras but the French 75G fits perfectly. I am close set and center full and usually prefer plunges, but this feels great although the gore is 3.75” high. I think that, since the wires somehow work for me, I actually enjoy having cups that are more full coverage than my usual plunges. And it is gorgeous too (except for the rather industrial looking straps). Both Sweet Nothings NYC and Comic Girls Need Bras have reviewed this model in detail.
This is a beautiful bra. It gives me lots of lift, and the lace pattern is striking, especially in the "berry" color.
I normally take a 32G (EU/US), but when I was sized into this brand I was told that the band runs large and the cups run deep, and truthfully the 30G fits extremely well. I have just the tiniest gaping up at the top of the cup, which says to me that a full-on-top person would do pretty well in the style...
Since it is brand-new, I can't speak to it stretching out, but it is exceedingly comfortable for a brand-new bra. No poking, and except for when ...I spent an entire day on the couch in kind of a crumpled position, no redness from the underwires really.
I will say that the lace doesn't feel soft; there's a kind of starchy quality to it. But I haven't found it itchy, either. The lace is quite discreet under t-shirts, but the cups have a very pretty ribbon-y... "lip" to them, which will probably create a line under very thin shirts.
I managed to get this bra on sale, because it was the very last of the "fashion" color for the year. I recommend that, since its price point is $170-ish, but I loved it so much that I ordered a neutral one at full price too. Read more 116 more words
It's the first bra that has fit me and looked good! The downsides are that it is expensive ($160), and the lace on one of them has started to tear after a year or so. I guess that's not unreasonable, but for the price, I wish it lasted longer.

Josephine feels like what Comexim's Sirene was intended to be. I just... wow. Yes.
She do run deep, deep. Depth is perfect for my FOB shape but also quite tall on me. However, from the tall narrow thin underwire shape and the very round projected shape this gives, would place it closer to best for close set omega and even/apex full shapes than 'run of the mill ...runs large for their size' people. Gore is tall but the extended overlap is real. Compared to other styles in this brand, this one is a pretty straight forward, simple lightweight balconette with a well-chosen embroidery specifically to reinforce the slight structure and support such an airy fabric affords. Cups project forawrd with a slight angle inward, allowing breasts to remain lifted aloft without squishing them out of the cup. Straps are lightweight but strong, wide multi-layered elastic which connectes to a sensible deeply rounded armscye which does not stretch at all; band is a medium-heavy weight micro-knit, with a narrow bone insert placed at the edge of where a wing should have been. As always thin little eye hook strip with dinky lil sundries bound to both feel lovely and light but also eventually slip and twist, even with the tight stitching tethering them down. For this model alone, it Will become a relevant issue...
That there is no wing at all, yet Josephine includes a weird little bendy straw sewn with microscopic precision into the band makes my brain itch. (INCOMING RANT) What... Why? Just, everyone, you know what? Stop. We don't putfoundational architecture detached from any relavant connective features in random places for no reason whatsoever. All this piece of plastic serves is to 1) poke and stab into one's sides, because 2) without ANY stable materials sewn alongside the cup as part of the FRAME, there entire band will flex and twist under the weight of the bust alone, god forbid one move their arms. We're absolutely not going to discuss how the wire will spring back whenever one bends forward or lifts their arms, pulling boob into the band and then snapping back over. Maybe everyone will not be swooping for their life all the damn day, but the scene has been set and we've all been here before -_-
For over $200 I fucking EXPECT basic parts & not have to second guess what the hell is going on.
Does she fit?
HAH. Like a glove.
Is a bitch dumbfounded.
Dear lord, YES.
Am I going to *&@#ing sew this correctly just so it can work as intended.
Grrrrrl stay tuned. I am not even able to think about it right now Read more 397 more words
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
beautiful! two tone embroidery on red mesh cup.
Straps only slightly too wide. Plus, expensive. I will keep a look out for sale models, but I can't afford full price for regular usage.
Immediate projection not quite enough for me, but what is?
Massive cups and huge band. G (7) is almost too big for my usually GG (10) bust. I usually need an extender for 30s, but I am perfectly comfortable in this on the middle or even tightest hooks..
Very comfortable. Has a large finishing seam around the top edges of the cup that shows through clothes. Shape is a bit pointier than I would like, but not bad. Very thick but very comfortable straps and are completely adjustable. Decent side boning.
Cup is too big! I had an alarm set for a 30G Empreinte that wasn't a ridiculous price forever, but then I changed sizes. (Fairly recently bought and tried on a 30F, which I've discovered is just about perfect.)
The bands on these are stretchy, and I was able to wear this even as a 32, so I doubt someone with a smaller rib cage would find it firm enough for their tastes.
I found this bra on clearance, still quite expensive though. I tried it in this size and one cup down in size. My UK size is 28GG or 30G This was much too large in the cups. Definitely need to size down in the cups. See review for 65F .
Cup-wise this bra probably fits me better than the Prima Donna bras that I like better. This bra has nice wide and slightly padded straps, 1 5/8 inches at the widest, and in the back the straps are 1 inch. The center gore almost sits on my sternum. I don't poof over the top of the cups at the end of the day as I do in other bras.
It's a lace bra, but it works well under a t-shirt as it isn't a stretch lace, and the lace is oddly smooth under clothing. The "rose" area of the lace is a great "mark" to put the nipples...
Something about this bra is uncomfortable for me though, I think it is how the wire sits on my rib. I wore it when I was sick and laying about all day, and it created a raw spot on my skin over my rib. I have this bra on for half an hour and I want to take it off.
Such a bummer! Sorry for the bad experience. Are they returnable at least?
