The full cup fusion is way too narrow/projected for me, so I thought to try this one. As expected, it is much better for average projection than the full cup, and works better with my wide roots. It runs about a cup size small, the 30E was objectively too small with spillage in the center/sides. The 30F fits great though, good wire width too. I held it up to other bras I own in 30E, and it really looks more like a 30E in volume. Not sure why brands have to be SO inconsistent, but whatever. Go up a cup from your normal size in this.
I am in between 32DD and 32E, tried the 30F however the cups are too large in this sister size (and probably the 32E) - I tried this on because it was in stock at Nordstrom. My snug measurement is 32 and tight 31.4 and this band did feel tighter than I would prefer, but the cups did not seem to be stretched / warped. I am going to try the 32DD, but this style might be a shape mismatch.
30E was too small, but 30F was too big. Guess this is just the wrong shape for me, which I’m disappointed about, because the narrow-ish strap placement isn’t too bad. Unstretched band on the 30E measured a good inch longer than the 30F, but 30F felt less restrictive, I guess because the cup depth fit much better. Cups on the 30F got much taller and wider, however. Fit my larger side quite well, but I’m left with too much wrinkling at the top of my smaller side for me to feel good about it.
This bra is extremely comfortable and gorgeous, there's slight wrinking at the top because I'm not as full on top, but it's accurate to my suggested size (30DDD US or F)
Almost a perfect fit! Super comfortable and looks good under shirts, but the center gore is too wide and digs into breast tissue. This is the closest match I've had so far!
Still searching for abtf; current shape: Narrow, soft tissue, projected.
First of, this is a beautiful bra. The color (Natural Beige) is really pretty, the embroidery is gorgeous and soft, and the straps don't chafe or dig in despite the decoration on the strap itself. It's oddly large compared to other 30Fs I have.
For the fit: Not enough projection at the wire and too closed at the top; wires were way way too wide (past my armpit) and gave the top of my breasts a deflated, skii-slope appearance. The wires didn't sit in my IMF, especially with how wide they were. I think the projection is pretty good for the bra. The band was extremely wide; even on the tightest hook I could still shove my hand underneath and turn it sideways. It could be an attribute of how stretchy the band was. I suggest it for extreme wide, immediate projection, and FOB breasts.
I'm almost angry that it didn't fit; the material was so soft compared to Panache and Cleo cups.
Not a good fit. The band is the biggest issue with this one. The gore floats, the top of the cup causes quadding. Otherwise the cup seems to be filled out fairly well, though tight. It looks like it fits well but it feels like it really does not. After this bra, and my experience with another Fantasie bra, I don't think I'll turn to this brand again. Both times the bras have been too-tight fitting and wrinkling. Not my favorite style either. Gives a round shape.
This doesn't fit. The bottom depth of the cup is not projected enough, while the top of the cups are not filled out. Top edge of the cup lies flush against my chest (Do I have short or tall roots?? I'm not clear on that yet). The cups are very full coverage on me, going quite high up my chest. The fabric is alright, the color and cut of this bra makes it seem a bit frumpy to me, and the lace is more "mature". That said the lace is pretty, and I like the lace edging around the bottom of the cups and up the straps. I don't know if the embroidery would show under clothes.
I could probably get away with wearing this bra. It wrinkles a tiny bit due to my full on bottom breasts. But the main issue is that I don't think it has quite enough depth at the "wire" (band in this case). I think it might end up sliding down during the day. I can see a little wrinkle there at the bottom. Also, I sized down in the cup for this one. Band seems TTS; it's pretty firm.
I like this bra a lot. As I read on other reviews here, the cup runs large. I normally wear 30FF, but this 30F seems to have the right cup size for me. The band runs large. I have to hook it on the second column.
This is my absolute favorite everyday work bra. It holds the breasts in close to the chest, giving a very smooth, rounded, almost "minimized" appearance. Although this may not be everyone's cup of tea, I love the fact that it allows me to fit into many tops that are normally off limits.
Pros: - Very, very comfortable; the most comfortable I've ever worn. - Invisible under clothes; lovely round shape. - Nice firm band. I've been wearing it every other day for a month and no sign of stretch yet.
Cons: - Definitely not a sexy bra. Not by any stretch of the imagination https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. - Fairly wide look from the front - doesn't really pull you in at the sides.
My shape is low set, short and narrow rooted, and soft.
This pretty bra is from Belle Lingerie. I'd been eyeing it for some time, and thought I'd give it a go. I'm dissapointed in the fit though. It's too small for me, the wings are too short, and it traps centre tissue. The cups themselves measure a bit small and and are short, so if you are between a 30E and 30F this will probably work for you. Or if you need less depth this one will be good. I don't think this bra would be very good on tall roots because it is short.
This bra is a half cup with one vertical seam and a side sling support inside. It has 3 x 2 sets of hooks. The band is fairly true for a 30". It has stretch but is not too stretchy. The straps are comfortable and are fully adjustable.
I'm dissapointed it didn't fit, but not dissapointed to have tried it.
Oh that's a high and wide gore! Pretty color though
confused yeah I had to reverse scoop and swoop to get tissue out from under the gore. It may be better in a 30FF, but it's unlikely I'll try it at this point.
Bummer! It’s really pretty!
Even with a reverse scoop and swoop that would hurt my poor center full boobs. They kinda ache just looking at it lol! Gores are my biggest issue currently. If I find a bra that fits everywhere else my 2 problems are a high and/or wide set gore, and some gapping at the cup edge near the strap.
Center gore slightly taller than I'd like, but I'm close set. Pretty plain, but comfy. Band seems to run a little large, I'm normally a 32 and this is a 30.
Love the projection on this and depth, hated the gore after a day of wear. Lace was a little scratchy but seemed to soften/I adapted. Loved the cups hated the wire!
Shape is perfect for me-projected enough, quite narrow, even, center full etc, but the cup is just too small for me in general I would need maybe a cup size or two bigger.
This fit me perfect and was reasonably comfortable, but I just could not get over the shape. It made me look very wide and larger than I really am. Also had very little lift. Had to send back because of how if made me look under clothes.
