Since I had a touch of quadraboob in the 34G, and the band was too big, I thought I'd sister size down & go up a cup. Boy howdy, is this a deep cup. The band isn't all that firm for a 32, though. This model is so consistent; it's really admirable. I bought 2 (lightly used) and they fit exactly the same.
Bit of a minimizing effect. Pushes boobs to the side a bit.
Can't fill the bottom of the cup, I think. Unless it's designed that way? Not sure. There's about 2.5 centimeters of fabric between the bottom of my breast and the underwire, but it lays flat, so it's not at all bothersome.
Really comfortable. Full cup coverage. The bit under my armpit is a little high, but it feels fine.
This is the bra that first taught my how very much shape matters. It's one where I think the total cup volume should work for me. Unfortunately -- despite how I measured the width (I checked and rechecked and checked again, because I didn't believe it) -- it's too deep and too narrow for me. That is, I get wrinkling in the cups -- mainly at the lace top (which does not appear to be stretch lace) -- while the wires simultaneously sit on my side breast tissue.
Very comfortable and fits very well, but it does give me a significant amount of bounce. I won't be doing any running or exercising on the beach in this. But, unlike so many other bikinis, I don't feel like I'm in danger of spilling out. And it gives me the "cake on a plate" cleavage instead of a gratuitous amount of the "center" cleavage. Overall very pleased.
Edit: after wearing it all day, I noticed that the straps cut into my armpit area and are a little too wide for me.
I think the cup size for this one is just too small for me. I get obvious quadboob on my larger side. Also, the center gore doesn't even almost lay flat. Maybe the cups are too far apart? The wire size is pretty perfect for me, so I'm afraid of trying a cup size up and finding the wires too wide.
Ah, well. Not a bra for me. It would definitely make a comfortable everyday bra though! Also, if you have problems finding cups that have enough space and won't wrinkle at the bottom, try this bra! It actually fits me very well at the bottom of the cups!
For me, this bra is the perfect all-rounder. It may not be the sexiest bra out there but it gives an incredible shape under clothes and gives me incredible lift. I read another reviewer who said that the 'sexy' factor from this bra comes from the confidence it gives you when you're wearing it and I couldn't agree more!
The only con for me is that I find the underwires dig into my rib cage when I'm sitting down and this can get quite uncomfortable after wearing it for several hours.
It's a really pretty bra, it got potential to make great shape. In 32h is too big in cups for me , I was really surprisedhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Band fits nice and smug, black and white pattern is eye catching. The black lace at the top of cups can be itchy.
Unfortunately, I order this bra in both a band size and at least one or two cup sizes too big. I'm keep having to tell myself I need to get rid of it instead of keep it because it doesn't fit but I would love to keep it because it's such a nice bra. Seriously, no complaints at all (except for the fit).
The bra is very comfortable, the material looks durable and it would definitely look amazing underneath t-shirts.
The good: this bra has wide, not very stretchy straps and a robust band. The bottoms of the cups are made of textured simplex. The cups seem strong and supportive. The lace is delicate but feels strong, and the bra is very pretty.
The bad: this is a cradle-shaped bra; the cup area is wider than the back band area. For a woman whose torso is a wide ellipse, I think it would be a good fit, but if you are narrow and need narrow underwires, this will be no good.
I was very much looking forward to this bra's arrival, but sadly, it is too big for me. The underwires are too wide and the cup is a bit large. I think a larger breast would fill this out and look smashing.
