This bra was ordered from Broad Lingerie in Toronto during the Black Friday sale. I had been lusting after this bra after seeing it online - it looks so sexy in all of the promotional photos. I found this bra to be a bit of a letdown, I prefer the look and the fit of SM Czarna Mgielka.
Declaimer - I ordered this bra before I tried the BM Baklazan in 65F, which proved to be too small. I knew that when this bra arrived, it would likely also be too small.
I experienced the same fit issues with the bra as the Baklazan, namely, the cups ... are too small and not projected enough. My breasts are firm enough that there is no in-cup quadding, but I do feel very compressed.
The band on this bra is a firm 60 and feels very secure. I would certainly suggest that other ladies who need a true 28 choose a 60 band in this bra. Unlike the Baklazan which had a lace band (and was very firm), this band is just a single layer of knitwear and will likely stretch over time.
The tulle lining at the bottom of the cups appears to have zero stretch, while the lace lining the top of the cup is very stretchy. This helps to disguise the ill-fit of this bra, and would likely be very accommodating for size changes, providing that the bottom of the cup has enough depth.
The adjustable spaghetti steps on this bra looked really cute in the EM photos, but in real life don't add much to the bra in this size range. In fact, I like how this bra looks online much better than in real life. Without the straps, the bra looks like a pretty basic black bra - its nothing special. I do not think I would reorder this bra in a larger size, I would rather have a brighter coloured BM (maybe La Gloria?!)
Sam from Broad Lingerie is nice enough to allow me to exchange this bra for another, larger BM. If you are Canadian and looking for a local store to order EM through - I would highly recommend Sam. She is excellent and very personable. However, she did warn me that it takes about 8 weeks for custom orders (like a 60 band) to be delivered. I believe that she allows exchanges for all standardized size EM bras, and exchanges for custom bras that are in styles that she sells in the store - like the BM bibi black.
