Joanna in 30HH
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.
Joanna is an underwire soft cup side support bra in a full cup balcony style. The color/pattern is a dark blue with large light blue Hawaiian flowers and lace on the top of the cups.
The band measures 25” to a max 33” with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.
Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13”
2 Placing the cup ... over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.
There’s a bit of give to the cups, which comes from the bottom of the cups only. As with most UK brands in the larger cup sizes, the wires/cups wrap further around the side than they should. For me, the cups are too small and the center gore does not sit on my sternum.
I got this bra when my breasts outgrew my 32G/30GG cups that I’d worn forever. As it didn’t fit, my search for larger cups began, and my frustration with inconsistent sizing grew……
