Cons: Silliest looking shape ever, when viewed from the side. Can we say pointy? I feel like a 1950s barbie doll.
Pros: This fit really well when I first got it and was still a 30 band. The band was tight enough to wear on the loosest hook. I got a ton of support from it and definitely felt comfortable no matter what exercise I was doing.
Even as a 28FF/G, I'm still wearing this bra to exercise in. It's a little quadbooby sometimes, but usually fine.
Super soft and comfy material! The blue is gorgeous. A large section of the straps are wide with nice padding (padded section 1.25" at its wide point). The typical Freya stretchy/big band is the main reason this didn't work for me, which I am a bit sad about.
I have no idea how my boobs are anymore. I thought I was shallow, now I think I might be even, but behave like fOb because of extra wide and short roots. I also have wide set breasts and a lot of inner fullness.
I love this bra! I'm on the little side of 30 and I have to use the largest hooks on the band, so size up! Also, the band is extra extra firm, gives amazing support. It doesnt squish the boobs, it encapsulates them almost like having a hammoc under and over your breast, but not in the center. I have very wide set breasts, ...and it fits me perfectly. Gore is suuuper high, so it works to encapsulate my inner fullness. Does not create quad boobs even if its a full coverage bra, which never happens with me.
It gives this very large, slighlty splayed look. But I like it! It suits my natural shape better than bras who aim for too much centerness. I am very petite, but I like to have large breasts. My breasts naturally go further under my arms, so its usually painful to bring them back center. And I dont need side support because I am center full, if it makes sense.
Doesnt push up breasts, no cakes on the plate here, but a really great tshirt bra! I dont even wear it for gym, but for regular daily wear.
I would love to find a bra with a lesser firm band and with different color schemes that fit similarly, if somebody has suggestions https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 160 more words
Pro: ~ With a cup size that fits, this is so comfortable for pms-swollen breasts. ~ Vintage bullet bra shape does well under sweaters and button down shirts. ~ Excellent support. Yes, it looks totally silly as a sports bra, but your breasts *don't bounce*.
Con: ~ The straps do NOT shorten enough. You can see in the angle shot that there's space against my sternum, even though the straps are adjusted as short as they go. The center gore does lie flat when I pinch the straps 2 inches shorter, which means it will be fine once I alter them. ~ The gore comes up very high on my chest. ~ The cup and band sizing are weird. My ribs are 26.5-27" and I'm generally wearing 28E bras right now...except for this one.
my shape: very short, short torso, proportionately short breasts, disproportionately broad shoulders, wide roots, FOB, inner fullness, projected.
Another bra failure. I was told to sister size up in this bra but I think I should have tried a cup size smaller. This bra is a horrible fit for me. It's too wide, too short, and overall too big in the cup. I'd recommend this size to someone who wears a 28FF in most bras. The band is tight and has four sets of hooks to move through, so I'm glad I went for a 30 not a 28, but it still doesn't matter because it's too bigg!! It's also very pointy, but using rounded nipple covers/inserts would decrease the pointedness in someone who this fit. At least it looks well constructed and is comfortable even though it's a horrible fit.
