This would be a better fit for a 34E. I tried it on and removed the tag, but then I swooped and scooped and oops! It's too small in the cups for me! Very pretty pink Cheetah print and stretchy mesh top. Three hook band, too.
This is one of the bras True & Co recommended for me, before I discovered Bratabase and /r/abrathatfits--it's a 32DDD and I am now wearing a 30GG! So I cannot really comment on fit, since the cups are way too small for me.
But the quality seems good--the fabric is really soft. The straps are fun, but also thick enough to be supportive. The cups themselves are basically seamless--the seams on the cup are mostly decorative. So I think this may be on the shallow side?
My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
This band on this bra is ridiculously too tight for me. I can fasten it, but it is distorting the wires and flattening the cup a little, thus my whole fit is off. This is not a true 32 band in my opinion. I hate the metal detail on the straps too, looks super bulky with this style of bra which is more delicate and lacey.
Wow, what a crazy short band. I had to use the full length of an extender and it was still too tight!
The elastic 3/4" back straps adjust only partially, and the satin front straps taper to a full 1 ยน/8th" wide at the top of the shoulders, down to 5/8" wide at the cups. Soft, smooth and seamless cups would be very comfortable, but alas, it is too shallow for me. The wires pressed out of my IMF and I quadded across the entire top edge. Good side support.. Beautiful colorway...rich Purply-Plum with dark Jade trim at the edges of the band, and a cute little covered button at the gore.
Thumbs up: I really really like the look, the feel and construction of this bra. Stretch satin. Just enough 'padding' for modesty (doesn't add volume). Double layer bonded seams. Low gore. Smooth cups and edge. Hidden underwire, but no thick padding (unlike some VS bras).
Thumbs down: Really wide cups. High set. Also shallow, but not as much, in proportion. Wires sat below my IMF. Cups went deep into my armpits, but the wires are about two inches shorter on the outer edge and low at the gore. Straps really far apart. Cups buckled below the straps.
This is possibly one of the worst fitting bras for my shape: average width, close-set, projected, short root.
In theory, I love this bra! I was really hoping the back band would lay things nice and smooth. This bra has a wonderful double layer in the band with hidden seams and no visible elastic. But it never had a chance since the cups are so wide and shallow. I couldn't fill out the bottom and the top was squishing me flat with quadding all over. The gore is not very tall, but it was still too wide on me and didn't sit flat. The underwire ...was oddly a full inch shorter than the channel. At the same time I purchased this one, I also ordered the Paramour Gorgeous Seamless Contour #255455. That was a completely different fit than this one, even though it is also from the Gorgeous series. The contour version is much more projected.
Overall, maybe this one simply runs small in both the band and cups. But I suspect if I sized up the cups would be way too wide. Oh well!

Comfortable, very supportive. Thin 1/8th" thick molded cup. Bandless front. Ribs on the fabric don't show under clothes. Quality construction. The perfect rounded shape! A great all-purpose, wear every day bra.
Even tension on the band. Convertible to racerback. Straps not quite long enough to turn into a halter (unless you are petite & high set). Cups have nice projection, but not a lot of center fullness. The gore buckled into a ^ at the top edge, and was pushed away from my sternum. (But neither did it sit on breast tissue.) The top of the cup is just a smidgen too open for my 'functionally Full on Bottom' shape. It was close that it 'almost' fit, but it tended to gape, because the cup is attached to the strap close to the armpit, but not in an uncomfortable way.
This bra is so adorably cute! It feels soft, like warm, gray flannel. The bottom of the band is edged with a gorgeous black lace, which really adds some interest and a pretty flair to a comfortable bra. It has little gray bows at the top of each strap as well as in the center gore. The straps are convertible, making this bra very functional for a variety of needs. The cups are made of a nice, thin foam that holds its shape and provides modesty, without creating bulk. I only wish this bra had fit me, because it really is a wonderful one to have in any collection.
Not quite sure what's going on with the fit of this bra. I'm not going to post a fit check, as this bra is being returned. First off, the band is really, really not true to size. As you can see from my back picture, it both looks and feels like I'm being cut in half. It's supposed to be a 32" band but it only stretches to 30" at most. Size up in the band for this one.
Then there's the cups. It's hard to see from my pictures, but there is empty space in the top half of the cup. ...It wrinkles a little when I'm standing still and gapes horribly when I put my arm forward. Plus, I feel like I'm sloshing around up there with no support. The wires are the right width for my wide roots, but I'm getting wrinkling in the bottom center of the cup so I can only assume that this bra is too shallow for me. I never thought I'd find a bra that was too shallow for me, but this one seems to be it. The wires want to creep down out of my IMF, and the side profile has me looking very flattened and minimized.
The straps are very wide and thick and feel a bit matronly to me. It doesn't help that the front, non-adjustable part of the strap as well as the band look and feel like cheap polyester material. It's fairly comfortable and not itchy or scratchy, it just looks cheap.
The cups are a double layer of teal see-through mesh that has a vertical seam up the center. The gorgeous embroidery literally sparkles (I can see why this colorway is called Sparkling Ocean) and is only on the outside of the cup. It is not raised much and would probably be invisible under all but the tightest, thinnest shirts. The back, top edge of the cup has a thin plastic strip sewn along it for stabilization (you can see this in the picture of the back of the bra by itself). It has minimal stretch to it. I couldn't feel this part, so it wasn't uncomfortable, but I also didn't fill out the top edge of the cup so YMMV.
I really wanted to like this bra. The embroidery is just beautiful, but the fit is just so poor and unflattering on me that it's going back to the store (I got it from Herroom). I'm not really sure who this bra would fit, since it's pretty shallow at the bottom, with fairly wide underwires, but not terribly open on the top. Read more 345 more words
Not unflattering at all IMO! Great color, lovely design (I'm a fan of the keyhole detail in the gore).
But hey, if it's not comfy and the fit is off, it's not worth it of course. Such a shame as it looks pretty awesome.
You can't see it in the pictures, but the top half of the cups have this wrinkled deflated look to the lace. Believe me, not attractive. Even my husband (unprompted) said it wasn't that flattering. And the gaping when I moved my arm even slightly forward was big enough to carry my wallet in! It was so disappointing, because the embroidery was just stellar and I really liked the color.
Pretty! Deep purple with a light magenta underlay that peeks through a bit. Interesting narrow strap design with a padded felt backing for comfort.
Very narrow and projected bra. Although the tag says 32DDD (stupid US sizing, which bratabase didn't want to accept), I think this would fit a F or maybe even an FF. Band is soft and a bit on the stretchy side.
While the wire width is great for me, as a GG I just can't make the cup size work unfortunately.
