Full Embrace

    Didn't fit

    I've been on the hunt for lightly padded bras since there's been a cold snap lately. I had previously had luck with the 32JJ-K - Full Embrace ยป Lounge Bra (-) after sizing up 2 cup sizes from my usual 32J, so I had hoped this strategy would work for the Essential Balconette. The Amazon listing also advised going up two cup sizes for a better fit, so I went ahead and ordered it in a 32K UK/32O US. The photos of this bra in the imperial purple colorway look completely black, but when it arrived, it turned out that the foam ... cut-and-sew cup are black, and the wings are dark purple with black lace overlay. Unfortunately, this bra did not fit me at all. The gore didn't tack, and the wires were sitting on breast tissue at the center. The wires were also too wide and tall, so they poked my armpits. I'll probably still keep it, since I'm desperate for something warm to wear over the next couple of weeks, but I've also ordered a Comexim bra that will hopefully show up this weekend.
    Edit 02/11/21: After wearing this a couple times, I like it a lot better. It still doesn't fit, but it's more comfortable now that I've broken it in, and helped me stay warm went I went outside. It also doesn't look too bad under a sweater.
