Well, I'm new to this bra reviewing thing so please bear with me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> PROS: push up, removable pads, seamless, full cup, deep plunge, & pretty (I love the "x" charm). I also LOVE a smaller space in between cups (where the "x" is). I have 3 of these but didn't get to wear them much as I was sickly thin when I purchased them (80 some pounds). They are not the correct size for me now so I'm moving on. I wish I could comment about the durability.
When I first saw this bra on the rack I was sad to hear it did not come in a 32DDD/F but the sales associate insisted I try on the DD since she said it ran big in the cup. To my surprise it fit really well. I do feel this bra ran a cup size bigger than indicated on the tag compared to their other bras in the store. The cup is not padded but thick enough to conceal my piercings with a slight stretch so no double bubble along the top of the cup. The nude color is great under a white tee or tank and ...the fabric is smooth. The band does lift away from my sternum just under the center gore ever so slightly but doesn't bother me. I also find that a small amount of my breast tissue escapes just above the cup in the armpit area, but the wires fit really well. The band has supportive boning in the side wing giving it stability and the lace doesn't itch at all. Over all I am really pleased with this bra and plan to purchase more. Read more 84 more words
Looks nice from the front under clothes, with epic cleavage, but really uncomfortable. Has boning on the sides of the band that are supposed to keep the band from rolling, but really they just bend and dig into your sides.
Very pretty; sexy even as a beige bra. But this doesn't work for me. The band is too big and I don't fill the cups. That might be an issue of soft breasts and molded cup not working together. The bra material itself is soft and comfortable.
This bra is one of my 'only for special occasions or photoshoots' bras. It's not a perfect fit, but it does the job and it doesn't look bad on me. The band is a little large and I fill out the cups a little -too- well, but other than that it's a surprisingly comfortable bra.
Although this bra did not fit, it was the closest fitting bra I have had and I loved it, that is, until the underwire popped out and STABBED me in sternum!! (after a month of wear)The only complaint I had(before the stabbing) was that the center gore didnt stay on my sternum and I had to constantly adjust my boobs from falling out of the top. I now stay clear of this bra and have since thrown it away because I dont want to go to the Emergency room because my bra stabbed me in the heart!
The band of this bra seems MUCH tighter than usual and for some reason the cup seems to run small, even though I fit into other styles in this size in this brand. Basically the band is too tight, the bra is way too small for me and pushes my boobs together uncomfortably and spilling them out without much support, and overall it's just an awful fit for me :C I would say it definitely runs smaller than some of this store's other styles. Also, the side supports don't seem to do much? Like, it's just an awkward fit for me overall...
The depth as measured by: 1. Hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance equals 8.5".
2. Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance equals 10".
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 measurements do with the bands.
The wires sit on my tissue, and the band feels super tight. If I scoop and swoop, it's barely more than a nipple hat, but the band feels a little better. I will say that it seems to run a little bigger in the cup than the average American F, so that was a slight plus.
I found this bra on sale before I actually measured myself. It's been sitting in my drawer for a few months now, but I figured I'd add it to bratabase before I got rid of it. Here's my experience:
This bra hurts. The wires sit on my tissue, and the band feels super tight. If I scoop and swoop, it's barely more than a nipple hat, but the band feels a little better. I will say that it seems to run a little bigger in the cup than the average American 38F, so that was a slight plus.
I'm thinking if I added a bit of padding I'd get a much better shape. I'm not in love with the fabrics thickness as I was looking for/expecting a lighter/thinner bra for summer.
Bought this bra as it was recommended for "fuller figures." Per /r/abrathatfits and this site's calculator I'm actually more like a 30F/FF (US 30G). This fits better than almost any others I've bought previously, though. Comfort becomes an issue because the underbust area tends to cut into my skin after a while - I think because the back rides up. Good support, but the lace trim on the upper edge isn't smooth enough to wear under anything thin. Low lift levels but would be higher were it sized correctly; quite a bit of projection. Probably good for someone FoB with a larger band size than me.
Got this to wear with a racerback dress, but the fit is miserable. Weirdly the other 34DD bras I've gotten from Frederick's have fit me reasonably well (compared to earlier bra experiences - I'm new to actually knowing my bra size), but the cup volume on this one is waaay smaller. I get unavoidable quadboob at the upper edges when I try to wear it, so... I don't. It's a decent bra, as best I can tell; just does not work for me at all.
I purchased this bra, along with its sister, from Cups for Christine. They are both absolutely gorgeous lace push up bras, but unfortunately their bands a a little too small for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. I will therefore list them to giveaway to a good home.

Okay, this bra is weird. When I first tried in on a couple months ago, I couldn't even fasten it. I tried again today and was just barely able to do it up. Despite the label, the stretched band doesn't even reach 30 inches.
The straps on this bra are too long, and it really skews what may otherwise be a passable fit (assuming the band loosens). The wires are too wide and the cup covers much more of the sides of my breasts than I'm used to. The cups just kind of hang slack because the straps are so loose. Holding the straps seems to fix the issue, so I'm considering altering the straps to adjust shorter to see if I may actually wear this bra.
The fabric is soft and thick without being padded. The bra itself is beautiful, though definitely not a longline. It comes no lower than a normal bra.
What are the cons of the bra? What was the durability issue with the bra :)
Thanks!
